BJ Jefferson 2020 Tulsa Central/Below The Rim wing |
BJ Jefferson was a force to be reckoned with all weekend at the Oklahoma State Tournament, leading BTR with gritty play down the stretch in important moments and electrifying the gym with his high-flying style of play. Jefferson is the type of wing who you don’t want to catch yourself beneath the rim with, because he is constantly looking for the dunk off the rebound.
Daimian Collins 2021 Atlanta (TX)/Team Griffin forward |
As far as length goes, 6-foot-9-inch Daimian Collins packs a lot of it. With especially long arms to match his height, Collins can take the ball a great distance with a small gather, a quality that allowed him to finish dunks in the half-court on multiple occasions at the Oklahoma State Tournament. The Texan welcomed himself by asserting his force in the paint and embarrassing opposing defenders.
CJ Campbell 2020 Edmond Memorial/Oklahoma Eagles point guard (pictured above) |
Entering his senior summer, CJ Campbell hasn’t held the heat back this summer. The 5-foot-10-inch point guard has been a dominant scoring factor for the Oklahoma Eagles, often going on long scoring runs and making defenders look foolish. Thanks to elite ball-handling skills, Campbell is able to encroach upon the defense’s territory and find his way to the hole where he can elevate to the rim to draw the foul or finish the crafty shot.
James Locke 2021 Carl Albert/Oklahoma Power guard |
Playing up in the 17U division, James Locke did not disappoint in any fashion at the event, establishing an elite scoring presence early on multiple occasions to offer an allowance for his teammates to score the basketball later. Locke would go on scoring spurts before settling down into a pass-first style of play, where he comfortably generated opportunities for his teammates with his vision and strong passes, brining synergy to his team.
