<p>This Monday was the final week of the Reynolds Fall League. Among the talent in the gym, these were some of the players I saw who had standout performances. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="745376" first="James" last="Locke"] is a skilled offensive guard who put on an impressive performance this week. His quickness and ball handling allowed him to beat defenders off the dribble. His athleticism, driving, and ability to finish craftily with either hand made him difficult to guard around the rim. Locke also displayed good court vision by making passes downhill and finding teammates cutting that led to easy points. The 6’3" guard can shoot off the dribble and shot lights out in the final game scoring 31 points with 5 threes. I watched Locke play at the final week of the Reynolds League and this past weekend at the Top 250 Expo, and on both occasions he showed that he can get hot from essentially anywhere on the court.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="745366" first="Landry" last="Harris"] | PG | 2021 Edmond North</strong></p>
<p>Harris is a knockdown shooter. He hit shots in bunches and scored 29 points on 5 three-pointers in the final game. He plays a fast-paced game and had some good finishes off the drive. Landry showed grittiness by playing hard and constantly being on the ball on defense. </p>
<p><strong>Cameron Lee | G | 2021 Edmond North</strong></p>
<p>Lee put in the extra effort on every possession on offense and defense. He definitely has a high defensive IQ and constantly was following the ball, fighting through screens, and trapping to force turnovers. He positioned himself to grab a good number of rebounds. Lee has a nice handle and brought the ball down the court a lot of the time. He moved the ball around on offense and made the right passes, but knew when to take shots himself and knocked down threes when given space. Cameron Lee is the definition of a hustle guy and team player with an all-around skillset.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="953448" first="Camari" last="Smiley"] | SF | 2021 Classen SAS</strong></p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="953448" first="Camari" last="Smiley"] uses his physicality, size, and explosiveness to force his way through the lane and often finish off the drive. He consistently dished some impressive passes to find open teammates. He hit some mid-range shots and threes off the dribble as well. Defensively, he put pressure on the offense and his quick hands led to turnovers. Camari’s size, driving, shooting, creative passing, and hustle on defense made him a very versatile player this week. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="745386" first="Abraham" last="Aghasedo"] | C | 2021 Edmond North</strong></p>
<p>Aghasedo uses his size to crash the glass and score in the paint. He’s a physical center who often either finished through contact or drew fouls. Defenders fell for his moves and pump-fakes in the post a lot of the time and left him with easy finishes at the rim. </p>
