Edmond Santa Fe ’21 |
Onyekuru has uncanny length and mobility, and he used both to his advantage in his senior summer. The 6-foot-5-inch defensive specialist developed matching offensive skill-set, and his presence was felt in just about every facet of the game. He routinely brought abused opposing teams with his defensive adherence while forcing turnovers at a high rate and flushing the ball on the other end. Offensively, he showed off his shooting skills, slashing, post skills and even made plays for teammates.

Gendron took his game to a new level this summer. The heady scorer became more aggressive and decisive offensively as his shooting and athleticism showed up most frequently for the Hawks. On more than one occasion, Gendron played above the rim and slammed the ball with opposing defenders beneath him while never giving up his edge as a spot-up shooter from 3-point range.

Stone joined the TBB program his senior year with an inflated role on a new team, but you would not know it if you watched him play this summer. Stone was an unstoppable force on both ends of the floor. He was ever-present offensively with the capabilities to back-down defenders, hit shots at difficult angles, or put defenders on a highlight reel, however, it was his shooting skills on the perimeter that set him apart. Defensively, his unending energy helped TBB late in close matches, especially against national competition.
Franklin was utilized as an enforcer, rebounder and interior scoring presence for TBB, and his above-the-rim play and all-around utility was essential for TBB. Franklin’s feel for the game may have been his most noticeable improvement from his junior summer, and his decision-making with it. He took smart shots from the perimeter, put sliced through defenses with developed moves, rebounded and returned, and just played hard. Defensively, he was unforgiving to opposing posts and could effectively limit players at all positions, though his rim-defending skills definitely stood out among the rest.
Freeman was a walking highlight reel during his senior summer with H&H. He often displayed his versatility as an offensive weapon, utilizing his explosive strength and skill to give his teammates more space to play. With just inches of space, Freeman was able to out-leap opposing players and play above the rim, though he was a reliable perimeter shooter as well. Defensively, he hosted a summer-long block party, playing unforgiving to opposing drivers and draining teams’ confidence from the interior.
“Skip” found himself in a new role with a new team, but he found a way to make it his best grassroots campaign. The explosive forward showed off new perimeter skill, including a much-improved shot from deep, giving opposing teams fits in a versatile role. He played way above the rim on a regular basis and made highlights at defenders’ expense.
