Fuqua gets Booker T. Washington going offensively at the Point. He is a great floor general and has become a scoring threat for the Hornets.
At Edison Richardson is called upon do many things with the ball in his hands. Richardson is a crafty lefty that excels at scoring the basketball. He can get to the rim or pull up from nearly anywhere on the court with his deadly jump shot.
One thing to keep an eye on is the health of Fuqua. He sat out the Hornets last scrimmage and it is unknown if Fuqua will be 100% on Tuesday night.
Two players to watch out for that are under the radar prospects is 2016 Edison Shooting Guard Eli Edwards and 2019 Booker T. Washington Power Forward Seth Hurd.
Edwards is one of the toughest players in the state of Oklahoma. He is naturally a two guard, but can defend 1-4 with his physical build, and tough nature. Edwards has improved immensely on the offensive end. He is in the conversation for the best two way player in Oklahoma.
When the dust settles in four years Hurd will be one of the most known prospects in Oklahoma. He is full of upside at 6'7″. Hurd is raw in some areas, but will be a great rebounder, and rim protecter for the Hornets. It will be interesting to see how the freshmen progresses throughout the season.
Prep Hoops Oklahoma expects the game to be very fast paced on Tuesday night. We could see lots of fouls with players adjusting to the rule changes this season. Edison AT Booker T. Washington is one of the better early games of the season. Our staff predicts the outcome of the game below.
