Bryce’s week 9 favorites: sophomores-juniors

Bradyn HubbardBradynHubbard6'6"Tulsa Memorial | 2022OK | 2022 Tulsa Memorial PF Hubbard had a career night against Tulsa Webster on Thursday night, and in spite of the loss, he was excellent for the Chargers on a 19-point night. His first score of the game came when he knocked down a 3-pointer from the corner, establishing his threat from deep and allowing him to have more space in the interior. A trend we noticed was his aggressiveness, perhaps prompted by the nature of the rivalry game, but as the match progressed, Hubbard became increasingly more offensive, and it helped him in big ways. Tyreece FriersonTyreeceFrierson5'10" | PGTulsa Memorial | 2022StateOK | 2022 Tulsa Memorial PG Frierson aided the Chargers in a facilitatory role and finishing the ball well around the rim. He also knocked down a triple early to get the blood flowing for Memorial. Frierson is increasingly solidifying his scoring game as the season progresses. Where he previously missed on more advanced scoring moves, the odds of him putting those shots in have increased on a game-by-game basis, and he is also more aggressive on his path to the goal. Of course, his agility is still the point of his game that stands out. He moves laterally, cuts and rises at the goal with great coordination. Seth PrattSethPratt6'2" | SGTulsa Memorial | 2023StateOK | 2023 Tulsa Memorial CG Pratt scored 10 points, doing what he does best from the 3-point line but also finishing well at the rim. On one occasion, he attacked the rim from the left wing and faced-up against a Webster defender to finish on a mid-range shot, which promises well for the development of his game.  But the bread-and-butter of his game is still hitting shots from deep, sometimes very deep as he did on one shot during the fourth quarter from a couple feet behind the arch.
