DJ Pedulla DJ Pedulla 6’1″ | SG Edmond Memorial | 2026 State OK was electrifying both games that I watched him in. He showed off the ability to score in a variety of ways, but especially with his shooting. When he catches fire, he is hard to stop. He had one game that he exploded for 36 points, with quite a few of his shots coming from jumpers. He scored at the rim some, but he utilized a smooth jumpshot that helped him knock down four threes in this game, to go along with some jumpers from mid-range. It was an impressive performance for him, as he had one of the highest point totals for any player at the event.

Spencer Ruff showed off a great shooting ability this weekend. His team came out ready to play in this game, with him being no different. No matter if his team was in a half-court offense or fast break, he showed the ability to knock down the three. He finished with three three-pointers in this game, while also having a tip-in off of an offensive rebound. On defense, he came away with a steal that he pushed the pace and drew the foul with. He went on to knock down the free throws. It was an impressive shooting performance by him.
Giddeon Holt
Giddeon Holt
Giddeon Holt had a great game, making an impact on both ends of the court. On defense, he showed active hands by knocking the ball away on a couple of different occasions. On offense, he hit three three-pointers, including a dribble pull-up. He has a good looking jumper that helped with his shooting. His shooting ability was also reflected at the free throw line, where he knocked down all of his free throws. His impact outside of his shooting was him grabbing a rebound and finishing in transition. It was a great game shooting the ball for him.
Jacob George
Jacob George
Jacob George is the definition of a shooter. He is someone that utilizes a high-arcing shot that is hard to block, but it is accurate. I watched him in two different games and he showed the ability to shoot. In the first game he had two three-pointers and I had someone tell me that he seemed off a little bit, despite being fairly accurate. The next day when I saw him, he shot the ball even better. He had four three-pointers and was even more accurate from behind the arc. He grabbed a few rebounds over the two games, but he is someone that showed off a good shooting ability.
Keon Young
Keon Young
Keon Young showed off his shooting ability in a few different ways. In a game that he dominated and it felt like he could not miss, he just left me shaking my head because I could not believe what I was seeing. To start off, he went 10/10 from the free throw line in the first half. He would constantly attack the basket, drawing one foul after another or showing a great finishing ability. He handles the ball extremely well and was able to maneuver through traffic. He showed the ability to shoot in a few other ways, as well as the free throws. He hit a catch and shoot three, a pull-up three, and a few mid-range pull-ups. He was a selfless player, looking to drive and kick to set up a teammate. It was a great game shooting the ball for him.
Rylen Sykes
Rylen Sykes
Rylen Sykes was flat out impressive in this game. He had several assists and rebounds throughout the whole game, to go along with great defense. He had multiple steals in this game, which two of them led to pull-up jumpers over defenders. He hit a couple of mid-range jumpers off of the catch, including one that involved him turning around, while remaining in rhythm. Some of his other shot making ability involved hitting a three that was catch and shoot, to go along with a pull-up three pointer. There was another play that he hit a pull-up jumper over tight defense. He dominated this game in every area. What a game for him in this one.
