Oklahoma State Tournament: Top Shooters

<p>This past weekend was filled with great talent at the Oklahoma State Tournament in Oklahoma City. These were the top shooters that I was able to see as the weekend went on. I primarily focused on the 17u division. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="981333" first="Maverick" last="Ridenour"] 2021 (Oklahoma Power) Guard</strong></p> <p>Ridenour is a knockdown shooter from deep. Throughout the weekend he was hitting shots from everywhere on the floor and was getting many open looks due to his ability to move without the ball. He would get in the right spots for his teammates to hit him as they drove through the lane. Ridenour has good awareness and vision on the floor which allowed him to take great shots that would potentially help his team get into the championship game.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="938856" first="Eli" last="Wallace"] 2021 (Tulsa Hawks Blue) Guard</strong></p> <p>The Bishop Kelly guard showed that he can flat out shoot the basketball. Throughout the weekend he had multiple 20 point games and displayed that he can shoot with the best of them. His ability to get his feet set and get into his shot quickly helped him get plenty of shots off. Wallace got open looks from deep and continued to shoot the ball at a high clip as the weekend went on.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="938864" first="Ian" last="Sluice"] 2021 (PWP) Guard</strong></p> <p>Sluice can shoot off the dribble or off the catch and stayed hot all weekend long. The Concordia commit was displaying his ability to create separation and get away from the defense to get his shot off. If you gave him any room at all, the shot was going up and most likely was going to fall. PWP was full of quick guards that were able to find Sluice for easy catch and shoot opportunities as well and Sluice made every one count. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="938847" first="Caison" last="Hartloff"] 2021 (Tulsa Hawks Elite) Wing</strong></p> <p>Hartloff has continued to impress this summer with his three-point shooting. He is able to get to open spots all over the floor to where the defense cannot stop him from shooting the ball. Hartloff has a very quick release that gives him the ability to shoot from deep with a lot of confidence that each shot is going to fall.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1015789" first="Colby" last="Baker"] 2021 (Oklahoma Flight) Wing</strong></p> <p>Shooting comes easy to the 6’3 wing. Baker shot well from beyond the arc this weekend and proved that you have to get a hand up when guarding him. He knocked in shots off the catch in several games I got to watch and stood out because he continued to get open against any team the Flight played. Baker has great size which allows him to get his shots off and drive in when needed.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
