Bijan Cortes Bijan Cortes 6'2" | PG Kingfisher | 2021 State #195 Nation OK – Kingfisher – PG
Cortes is one of the best guards in the state and has no holes in his game. On the offensive end he excels at getting to the basket, shooting, and getting his teammates involved. He is also an excellent defender and he uses his length and quickness to force opposing ball handlers to turn the ball over.
Ian Sluice Ian Sluice 6'3" | CG Metro Christian Academy | 2021 State OK – Metro Christian – G
Sluice is a guard that has good size and a good feel for the game. He plays the passing lanes, guards multiple positions, and does not get beat. He is also a strong finisher around the rim and a great three-point shooter.
Caden Hale Caden Hale 6'1" | PG Metro Christian | 2020 State OK – Metro Christian – G
Hale is a guard that scores in bunches and is extremely hard to guard. He has a nice handle and has the ability to leave defenders stumbling and to drill the shot right over them. He is also a great shooter from downtown and finisher around the rim.
Cameron Burns – Bethany – G/F
Burns is a great defender and has good length. He excels at getting steals in the passing lane, staying with his man, and he even showed off his ability to block shots. He is also a strong finisher and has a nice jumper from behind-the-arc.
Caden Powell – Clinton – F
Powell is a forward that is a strong finisher and rebounder. He is also a great passer and a capable three-point shooter. He has a good motor and has a high basketball I.Q.
