Dalante Shannon 2021 Edmond North point guard
Dalante Shannon was fabulous for the Edmond North Huskies with creating shots by his own means. He can hit 3-pointers from the dribble, but can also get to the rim and go up strong for the basket. Shannon’s athleticism and control are a rare combination among sophomores, making Shannon all-the-more impressive as a hooper.
Jarrett Grisham 2021 OKC Storm wing
Jarrett Grisham comes in at 6-foot-3 -inches and is a great shot-creator from the dribble. He is physical, fast, and unexpectedly shifty with the ball. Grisham has some bounce and is good at finishing tough shots at the rim. He is tough and tenacious with the ball in his hands, so he can also draw fouls in this process.
Zeph Smith 2019 OKC Storm point guard
Zeph Smith is great at using his footwork to get under opposing defenses and then getting a shot off before they can recover. Smith is an aggressive, score-first type of player who did damage when getting into the lane at the Titan Classic. He has a really good shot and finishes his jumper at the apex of his leap to avoid getting his shot blocked.
Tae Pendleton 2019 Santa Fe South point guard
Tae Pendleton was great at getting from the top level to the bottom level for Santa Fe South with great handles, footwork, and acceleration. After that, he finished at the rim really well and with strength when he went up. The 6-foot-even point guard is really good at finishing tough shots around big defenders and avoiding getting his shot blocked.
