Continue ReadingWith the season concluded, a number of seniors are starting to make their decisions on where they will be playing their college basketball. There are still a number of seniors who are quality prospects still looking for a spot at the next level. Here’s a quick look at some some guys that are a big under the radar who could very well be a good pickup at a variety of college levels.
Bennett Giebels Bennett Giebels 6'4" | SF Mountainside | 2020 State OR (2020 Mountainside) – Tough, physical wing/forward. Effectively uses his upper body strength to bully defenders at the hoop but has the skill to spot up for open shots on the perimeter or create off the dribble. Streaky perimeter shooter but can get on a roll. High-academic performer that is considering college options at all levels.
Grant Jordan Grant Jordan 6'3" | SF Mountain View | 2020 State OR (2020 Mountain View) – Versatile wing/forward that has the ability to score both inside and out. Solid frame that can put on more muscle. Emerged as more of a primary scorer this season after being more of a supporting cast member earlier in his career. Knocks down open perimeter shots and has improved with his ability to create off the dribble.
Blake Lambert Blake Lambert 5'4" | PG Life Christian | 2020 State OR (2020 Life Christian) – Small point guard that makes up for his lack of size with heart and competitiveness. Smart floor leader that makes good decisions with the ball. Shoots it fairly well and knows how to finish near the basket over bigger players. Doesn’t back down to anyone on the defensive end. Holds an offer from Multnomah and is also looking at other options.
Steven Long Steven Long 6'3" | CG Tigard | 2020 State OR (2020 Tigard) – Wing with tremendous upside due to his length and athleticism. Still growing into his body and game but has become more confident, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Solid shooter and ball-handler and finishes well in transition at the cup. Has great potential as a defender with his length. High-academic student considering D-III schools but is also considering starting out the JC route to maximize basketball opportunities.
Connor McClean Connor McClean 6'5" | SF Mountainside | 2020 State OR (2020 Mountainside) – Athletic forward that started coming into his own as a senior at a new school at Mountainside. Has the skill to hit the jumper but prefers to take it to the hole. Very competitive on the glass but especially tough defensively and has the size and ability to defend multiple positions both inside and on the perimeter. High-academic performer who has gotten some interest from D-III schools.
Max Morelli Max Morelli 6'3" | CG Life Christian | 2020 State OR (2020 Life Christian) – Long and rangy wing that got an opportunity to play as a senior after transferring down to a lower level. Solid all-around offensive game, can stroke it from the perimeter but also attack off the bounce and finish at the rim. Has the physical frame to put on more weight and strength. Holds an offer from Multnomah and is garnering other small school interest.
Josh Paul Josh Paul 6'4" | SF South Eugene | 2020 State OR (2020 South Eugene) – Converted post that has adjusted well to becoming more of a wing player. Has solid moves inside but is adept at stepping out and hitting shots out past three-point range. Good finisher at the basket and has held his own against taller players. Currently getting the most interest from the JC level.
Kieran Pruett Kieran Pruett 6'0" | CG South Salem | 2020 State OR (2020 South Salem) – Hard-nosed team-oriented combo guard. Really gets after it on the defensive end and isn’t afraid to sacrifice his body, especially taking charges. Can hit the open shot from mid-range out to the three-point line. Good passer and takes good care of the basketball. Student of the game, helped team keep statistics this season.
Austyn Shipps Austyn Shipps 6'1" | CG Cleveland | 2020 State OR (2020 Cleveland) – Hard-nosed, competitive combo guard who emerged as more of a leading man his senior season. Does multiple things well on the offensive end. Has a solid jumper, finds openings to attack the basket, and finishes plays creatively around the hoop. Solid defender on the perimeter. Currently getting the most interest from the JC level.
