Andrew Lewis 2020 OKC Storm wing
Andrew Lewis is a fast and tenacious player, giving him the ability to pull down a lot of boards for the Storm. He is not the tallest player on the floor, but he can jump out of the gym and he crashes the board with competitiveness, knowing that his ability to rebound can be integral to his team’s success. Having the ability to get a surplus of rebounds from your back-court can be a huge advantage for a team.
Elijah Mason 2020 Edmond North forward
Elijah Mason has awesome athleticism and bounce to pull down a lot of rebounds. The Huskies’ junior forward is a pretty dominant inside player in every aspect, but gives his team an edge in the rebounding game, especially. At 6-foot-4 inches, Mason forms a problem for opposing players and allows Edmond North to utilize its great guard-play in the most effective way.
Dalante Shannon 2021 Edmond North point guard
Dalante Shannon was really good for the Huskies in every role on the floor at the Titan Classic, but one aspect you may not recognize about the 6-foot-3 sophomore is he is a very talented rebounder. Shannon is exceptionally athletic, first of all. Because of this, combined with the high motor he plays with, Shannon can do damage in the rebounding game and keep the ball in Edmond North possession.
Benji LaPat 2019 OKC Storm forward
Benji LaPat, a 6-foot-6 big man for OKC Storm, is an impressively-strong guy who can pull down a lot of boards for his team and can impact the game by getting second-chance opportunities. The level of physicality he played with at the Titan Classic was one of the most impressive outing I have seen from a traditional post.
Josh Major 2019 OKC Storm forward
Josh Major was great at using his size to his advantage for the Storm at the Titan Classic. At 6-foot-5-inches, the senior is aggressive in getting rebounds and boxes out very well to eliminate any other candidates from getting boards. Strength is a major key for Major.
