James Locke James Locke 6'3" | SG Carl Albert | 2021 State OK | SG | 2021 Carl Albert
James Locke James Locke 6'3" | SG Carl Albert | 2021 State OK is a skilled offensive guard who put on an impressive performance this week. His quickness and ball handling allowed him to beat defenders off the dribble. His athleticism, driving, and ability to finish craftily with either hand made him difficult to guard around the rim. Locke also displayed good court vision by making passes downhill and finding teammates cutting that led to easy points. The 6’3″ guard can shoot off the dribble and shot lights out in the final game scoring 31 points with 5 threes. I watched Locke play at the final week of the Reynolds League and this past weekend at the Top 250 Expo, and on both occasions he showed that he can get hot from essentially anywhere on the court.
Landry Harris Landry Harris 5'11" | PG Edmond North | 2021 State OK | PG | 2021 Edmond North
Harris is a knockdown shooter. He hit shots in bunches and scored 29 points on 5 three-pointers in the final game. He plays a fast-paced game and had some good finishes off the drive. Landry showed grittiness by playing hard and constantly being on the ball on defense.
Cameron Lee | G | 2021 Edmond North
Lee put in the extra effort on every possession on offense and defense. He definitely has a high defensive IQ and constantly was following the ball, fighting through screens, and trapping to force turnovers. He positioned himself to grab a good number of rebounds. Lee has a nice handle and brought the ball down the court a lot of the time. He moved the ball around on offense and made the right passes, but knew when to take shots himself and knocked down threes when given space. Cameron Lee is the definition of a hustle guy and team player with an all-around skillset.
Camari Smiley Camari Smiley 6'3" | SF Classen SAS | 2021 State OK | SF | 2021 Classen SAS
Camari Smiley Camari Smiley 6'3" | SF Classen SAS | 2021 State OK uses his physicality, size, and explosiveness to force his way through the lane and often finish off the drive. He consistently dished some impressive passes to find open teammates. He hit some mid-range shots and threes off the dribble as well. Defensively, he put pressure on the offense and his quick hands led to turnovers. Camari’s size, driving, shooting, creative passing, and hustle on defense made him a very versatile player this week.
Abraham Aghasedo Abraham Aghasedo 6'8" | C Edmond North | 2021 State OK | C | 2021 Edmond North
Aghasedo uses his size to crash the glass and score in the paint. He’s a physical center who often either finished through contact or drew fouls. Defenders fell for his moves and pump-fakes in the post a lot of the time and left him with easy finishes at the rim.
