Manny ObasekiMannyObaseki6'3" | SGJohn Paul II | 2021State#47NationTX - John Paul II - G Tyson’s running mate for John Paul II was just as impressive in the win and showed his leadership just as much as his on-court skill. He was throwing perfect outlet and no-look passes, scoring in the in-between game and getting to the free-throw line. Obaseki and Tyson complement each other perfectly and they will be a dangerous duo going into the playoffs.
