Keyondre Young – 2021 – Del City
- Shooting – Knocking down 5 threes on the night, Young shot the ball well from beyond the arc. He also used his pump fake to get defenders in the air, allowing him to step in and knock down a couple of midrange shots too. Young’s KD-esque body allows him to shoot over his defenders with little-to-no influence on his shot, a major key to his game.
- Paint Protection – Although Young didn’t swat away any blocks tonight, his presence made all the difference for the Eagles. Forcing errant passes and terrible shot selection, Young made a big difference in the points-in-the-paint differential.
- In Transition – Young hit three of five three’s in a transition setting; getting his feet set and squaring himself to the basket, his smooth shot was nothing but net all night long. Having the ability to shoot in that fast-paced scenario only comes from repetition and practice, something that Young has obviously done for his team.
Cash Novotny – 2020 – Anadarko
- Court Vision – As the starting quarterback for Anadarko and having large interest from many D2’s, Novotny’s vision carries over to the basketball court very well. Whether bringing the ball up and finding his teammates on the drive or hitting them from a post up, Novotny was very successful finding the open man.
- Hustle – Diving on the floor for loose balls and crashing the offensive glass, Novotny never gave up on a single possession, fighting for every last second on the clock.
- Finishing – Novotny showed off a nice touch around the rim, with a dynamic scoop layup allowing him to get around of his defender and finish in traffic.
Nate Goodlow – 2020 – Del City
- Athleticism
- Athleticism
- Athleticism
Goodlow’s athleticism translates to all aspects of his game and is fundamental to his great success on the court. Creating opportunities for steals and big transitions slams, Goodlow’s athleticism and defensive ability alone make him one of the toughest to match up against in the state.
