Oklahoma 2021 prospect update: 16-20

<h5 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">[player_tooltip player_id="745386" first="Abraham" last="Aghasedo"] | C | Edmond North</span></h5> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">No. 16</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Perhaps the only true center in the top-twenty, Aghasedo’s skill-set saw major improvements to his game during his junior season. He became more physical, more acquainted with his footwork and thus, better equipped to put the ball in the basket. With a great senior year, Aghasedo could become a commodity in the ’21 recruiting class.</span></p> <hr /> <h5 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">[player_tooltip player_id="745365" first="Jeff" last="Nwankwo"] | SF | Putnam City North</span></h5> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">No. 17</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">If anybody in this list has the tools to flip his recruitment into Division-I status, it may be Nwankwo. At 6-foot-6-inches, Nwankwo can <em>really</em> score the ball from just about anywhere from the outside-in; defensively, he can guard with at least some reliability all five positions. He’s athletic and explosive as well, with a good on-court iQ and the grades to qualify in the classroom.</span></p> <hr /> <h5 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">[player_tooltip player_id="745376" first="James" last="Locke"] | SG | Carl Albert</span></h5> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">No. 18</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Locke has a <em>flamethrower. </em>He can hit shots at a high percentage from long-range. His game has also taken a noticeable turn from being a <em>3-and-D </em>player to a shoot-first point guard with sharp slashing-and-passing capabilities. As his journey to complete his game continues, recent trends indicate there will be little doubt that Locke is a legitimate, multi-talented prospect.</span></p> <hr /> <h5 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">[player_tooltip player_id="745373" first="PJ" last="Johnson"] | CG | Casady</span></h5> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">No. 19</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Johnson’s sneakily-athletic skill set has improved his recruiting as his highlight reel has reflected a more wide-spread bag of tools. His bread-and-butter is his shooting ability as he averaged 20.2 PPG in his junior year. Now, he can do more defensively, punch a sweet dunk in the bucket and pass as well -- his averages also included 1.9 SPG and 3.6 APG.</span></p> <hr /> <h5 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">[player_tooltip player_id="938864" first="Ian" last="Sluice"] | CG | Metro Christian</span></h5> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">No. 20</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><em>This</em> is a kid who could ump in the ’21 rankings. In his junior year, Sluice showcased an incredibly polished skillset that includes shooting the ball at a high efficiency from deep range, outplaying defenders on the cut with finely-crafted slashing maneuvers and adaptive ball-moves. With a 6-foot-4-inch frame, resistance training and speed-work could marry his skills training and boost his stock tremendously.</span></p> <hr /> <p>&nbsp;</p>
