Oregon Top 250 Expo – Team Six Scouting Reports

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although it's already been a week and a half since the Oregon Top 250 Expo, our coverage of the event here on Prep Hoops is not done yet. For the rest of this week, we will take a look at each individual roster, breaking down this huge crop of talent from around the Pacific Northwest, player-by-player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at Team Six:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Charlie Kapronos (2024 Grant)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kapronos did a little bit of everything for Team 6. The well-built forward really worked hard on the boards and on defense, and was able to showcase some of his polished moves in the post and a soft touch on his shot. He earned a spot in our "Top All-Around Performers" article.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1582929' first='Keion' last='James Adell'] (2026 Grant)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arguably the top freshman in the event was Adell, who really shined with his advanced court vision and passing ability - both of which are already worthy of the varsity level. Built like a tank, he was able to create space off the dribble or even in the post to score over taller and older players. His passing stood out the most though earning him a nod in our "Top Passers" article.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1368276' first='Cole' last='Hammack'] (2025 North Marion)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A shifty point guard, Hammack didn't get a lot of opportunities to show what he could do in the time we watched him. From the bit we saw it's clear he's a talented ball-handler and passer who can really push the ball up and down the floor when there are transition opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1604665' first='Isaiah' last='Koehnke'] (2025 Regis)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Koehnke didn't get a lot of opportunities in the action that we saw, but it's clear that he has a nice looking jumper and a solid all-around game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1604666' first='Haris' last='Mirza'] (2025 OES)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mirza may play at a smaller classification school at OES, but he wasn't fazed by the competition at the Expo. He played with confidence and that included his outside shot, of which he hit several open looks. The sophomore took good care of the basketball and largely operated turnover-free.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1587921' first='Ethan' last='Sims'] (2023 North Eugene)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We had heard a bit about Sims and he lived up to billing. At 6-foot-3, the senior is long and lanky and he used that to his advantage on both sides of the ball. Sims kind of did a little bit of everything - scoring, rebounding, and defending - and he should have a similar role for North Eugene.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1110571' first='Quinn' last='Haveman'] (2024 Mountainside)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Haveman was essentially the quintissential glue guy. At the event, he was all over the place on both ends, hitting the boards with reckless abandon and then pushing the ball up court finding open teammates or hitting pull-up jumpers. Defensively, he played stick 'em defense and really fought for loose balls. He earned a nod in our "Top Defenders" article.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1611711' first='Gabriel' last='Townsend'] (2023 Nelson)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Townsend was one of the surprise finds of the day. The 6-foot-6 forward showed a real knack for scoring, whether it was on tough drives to the hoop or spotting up from mid-range. A transfer from Barlow, look for the senior to be a key player at Nelson this upcoming season. He earned mention in our "Top Big Men" article.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='865366' first='Gray' last='Thompson'] (2023 Central Catholic)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thompson will be a key offensive cog for Central Catholic this season due to his ability to score both inside and out. He did exactly that at the event which made him a difficult guy to match up with. He was strong around the hoop and also stepped out and hit face up jumpers out past the three-point line. Thompson also made the "Top Big Men" article.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1586603' first='Colby' last='Ackerman'] (2023 Westside Christian)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Transferring to Westside Christian for his senior year from Lakridge is Ackerman, who did a nice job of handling the ball and directing the offense at the Expo. He hit a few open jumpers and played good team ball in all three games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
