Isaiah Williams – Millwood
20.3 PPG: Williams scoring came at a very high clip this weekend and proved his ability to score at all three levels. Williams was great shooting the ball from behind the three-point line as well as on the drive, taking the ball to the hoop. The Millwood wing plays very well in transition as well, pushing downhill and attacking his defender.
Jameson Richardson – Duke
19.3 PPG: Richardson’s use of size and strength, combined with the ability to step behind the arc and knock down the three made him one of the hardest players to guard at the Tournament of Champions. Richardson was nearly even in his scoring as 9.2 PPG came from behind the three-point line and the rest from layups and free throws. This allowed Richardson to keep his defenders guessing on what his next move would be.
Trey Alexander – Heritage Hall
25.7 PPG: Showing off his excellent mid-range game, a pretty three-point shot, and great touch around the rim, Alexander was excellent at all three levels. Alexander kept his defenders on their toes with his ability to pull up at any time and knock down shots. His drives and body control in the air helped him finish on multiple tough shots around the rim as the weekend went on, proving him one of the hardest to guard in the state.
Ty Frierson – Tulsa Memorial
18.3 PPG: Frierson did nearly everything needed by Tulsa Memorial as the weekend went along. While a majority of his buckets came in the paint, he showed the ability to hit shots from behind the arc, making himself a very valuable part of the Tulsa Memorial offense.
Trey Phipps – Booker T. Washington
19.3 PPG: While primarily being thought of as a three-point shooter, Phipps uses his sneaky-quick dribbles, excellent pump fake, and great hesitations to clear space for him to drive and score in the paint or pull up from the midrange. His offensive threat drew plenty of attention from opposing defenses and opened up space for his teammates.
Bryce Thompson – Booker T. Washington
27.7 PPG: Thompson showed what the epitome of a three-level scorer was over the weekend. Whether elevating for a dunk, scoring off of his signature spin move, or knocking down a stepback three, Thompson’s diverse scoring helped him lead the tournament in scoring and display the fact he was the best player in the gym.
