OK Fadeaway Hoops’ Back 2 School Classic: Best Shooters

<p>Summer basketball is coming to an end as the school year starts to begin. OK Fadeaway Hoops hosted one of the last basketball tournaments in Oklahoma City before the school year is in full force. High school hoopers ranging from 9th to 12th grade showed their range around the three-point line on the courts inside the Santa Fe Family Life Center.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Pascal-Crosby.jpg"><img class="wp-image-1269243 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Pascal-Crosby-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="225" /></a>Pascal Crosby | 6'5" Forward | We Are One | Midwest City High School</p> <p>Pascal was automatic on his first game of the tournament. Whether it be right on the three-point line or five feet back, he could knock it down. His size gives him an exceptional advantage with his defenders being anywhere from three to five inches shorter. He has is not in short supply in the confidence department of his three-point game.<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Adrian-Nelson.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1269245 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Adrian-Nelson-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p> <p>Adrian Nelson | 6'1" Guard | OK Wildcats | Putnam City High School</p> <p>Adrian Nelson brings tenacity and leadership whenever his team has the ball. He moves around with the purpose to get himself a bucket. He looked to take a shot anytime he caught the ball on the three-point line because he could hit them at a high clip. His three-point shooting made defenders play out more eventually giving his teammates go-ahead buckets inside the paint.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Wyatt-Geissler.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1269246 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Wyatt-Geissler-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p> <p>Wyatt Geissler | 5"8" Guard | OK Wildcats | Bethany High School</p> <p>This guy can shoot. Defenders would sprint out to Wyatt Geissler whenever he caught the ball during the tournament. He can shoot the rock giving his team a significant difference in comparison to the opposing team's three-point scoring. He catches the ball with fluid motion getting his feet and hands in the right spot.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Kejuan-Payne-crop-4902x3219-1629657122.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1269240 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Kejuan-Payne-crop-4902x3219-1629657122-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a>Kejuan Payne | 6'3" Guard | OKC Road Dawgs | Deer Creek High School</p> <p>In the first game of the tournament, Kejuan Payne hit a three at the buzzer to finish a comeback effort from his team to make the game go into overtime. During that comeback, he was unguardable on the arc. Catch and shoot? Buckets. Stop and pop? Buckets. In addition to his shot, he had a great feel for when and how to get inside the paint for easy layups or open passes back out.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Elijah-Alsup.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1270115 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Elijah-Alsup-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>Elijah Alsup | 5'11" Guard | Team Choice | Harding Charter Prep (OKC)</p> <p>Elijah Alsup makes himself open. Whether that be with the ball in his hands or not. Most likely you will see him with his feet in position before with the ball being flung right at him for an open three. His confidence isn't short. He'll shoot the ball even if someone is chopping their feet going in his direction.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Jonah-Kelly-crop-3126x2053-1629755918.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1270117 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Jonah-Kelly-crop-3126x2053-1629755918-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a>Jonah Kelly | 6'2" Forward | Knights | Crossings Christian School</p> <p>Kelly had a good IQ to pair with his smooth and fluid jumper. You can find him inside the paint getting rebounds and putting it back up for points. He does well outside of the arc. His shot-making ability gives his team the opportunity of driving into the paint for some sickouts back to Kelly for a three. One of the things most impressive was his ability to work himself into position scoring position at the high post.</p>
