Cameron Williams Cameron Williams 6'8" | PF Cape Girardeau Central | 2023 State MO 6’7″ Cape Girardeau Central: The versatile young big was a force in leading the Tigers to the championship game and a near-victory over a strong New Madrid Central team. He was a matchup nightmare with his size and ability to score in the low post combined with his 3-point shooting and work from the high post. He also moves his big body up and down the court very well in transition.
Rico Coleman Rico Coleman 6'4" | SG Charleston | 2023 State MO 6’3″ Charleston: A long and slinky wing player who led the Bluejays to a third-place finish in the tournament. He’s a dynamic athlete who operates well with the ball in his hands. He is at his best when he was slashing to the basket and swooping inside for layups. He also uses his length well on the defensive end when his team puts on the full court pressure.
Clayton Ernst Clayton Ernst 6'8" | PF Jackson | 2023 State MO 6’8″ Jackson: The big fella did a nice job coming off the bench with his consistent play throughout the tournament. He used his big body well to establish his position around the basket and he wasn’t going to be moved. His shooting touch was very good and he can also step out and hit the short jumper. He also had a strong presence on the defensive end with his size and shot blocking.
Maurice Boyd 6’2″ Cape Girardeau Central: A long and lanky point guard who had an impressive tournament in helping the Tigers to a runner-up finish. His poise was good and he had an uncanny ability to wiggle his way into the lane on the drive to get buckets. He changed speeds well and he could cover a lot of ground on the dribble.
Cole Nichols Cole Nichols 6'2" | PG Dexter | 2023 State MO 6’2″ Dexter: A young shooting guard who has done a nice job of assuming the role as the main offensive threat after the graduation of several talented teammates. He is a very capable 3-point shooter who has also gotten physically stronger, so he can attack the basket more effectively, which adds to his offensive game.
