The Prep Hoops Circuit is in full swing again this weekend. After an awesome weekend in Kansas City for the live period, the Circuit returns to Kansas for the Midwest Grind Session in Wichita. Teams from the area will be competing throughout the weekend and Prep Hoops will have you covered from start to finish. And it begins right here with our three players to watch from Oklahoma in this weekend’s event.
Braeden Clinton
Braeden
Clinton
6'0" | CG
Riverfield Country Day | 2024
State
OK
– 2024 Guard – Riverfield
(Playing With Oklahoma Swift)
It’s hard to pick between the two Clinton brothers who play for Oklahoma Swift but we’re going with the younger guard Braeden in this breakdown. While leading Riverfield to their first ever state tournament, it was pretty clear that Clinton had a bright future and had the ability to completely take a game over. Offensively, his game is outstanding as he can handle, make the right pass and then he’s a fantastic scorer. He was arguably Oklahoma Swift’s best player when we checked them out in several games a month ago in Oklahoma City. It’ll be interesting to see how his game has evolved in just that last few weeks and if he can keep it going this weekend. Both Clinton brothers will be small school prospects that need to be on the radar.
Triston Driver
Triston
Driver
6'0" | PG
Bixby | 2025
State
OK
– 2025 Guard – Bixby
(Playing With Tulsa Impact)
The only 2025 prospect on this list is Bixby guard Triston Driver Triston Driver 6'0" | PG Bixby | 2025 State OK , who will be playing with the Tulsa Impact in the 15U division. This past high school season, it was hard to talk about anyone other than Oklahoma State commit Parker Friedrichsen Parker Friedrichsen 6'4" | SG Bixby | 2023 State #165 Nation OK when it came to the Spartans but Driver was a freshman that showed up plenty of times in big ways throughout the season. The Spartans definitely are not just a one man band moving forward as Driver is a promising young prospect that continued to grow throughout the season. Last weekend in Kansas City, Driver was one of the best shooters in the tournament and he’ll look to carry that momentum into this weekend. Driver is definitely a name that could be ready to explode in the next year.
Zander Hart
Zander
Hart
6'4" | SG
Jenks | 2023
OK
– 2023 Guard – Jenks
(Playing With Oklahoma Swift)
Our final prospect to watch this weekend in Wichita is another player from the Oklahoma Swift’s 17U squad. Jenks 2023 guard Zander Hart Zander Hart 6'4" | SG Jenks | 2023 OK is a sharpshooter who can absolutely fill it up from beyond the arc. When I got a chance to see him about a month ago in Oklahoma City, he was one of the best shooters in the tournament field and there’s no reason to think that he won’t be repeating that performance this weekend. With the fantastic guards around him that do a great job of driving, it’s left Hart in a great position to get passes kicked out to him and from there it’s just catching and shooting. And there’s no doubt about what his strength is. Hart is growing into that role and will be a player to continue watching this summer and beyond.
