<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A look back at standout performances from prospects in Tulsa that caught last Friday at Oral Robert University's Team Camp.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1238739"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Powell put together one of the top performances witnessed on Friday and was unstoppable off the dribble in Metro's win. He's quick off the dribble, with a bruiser style at the rim that allows him to take contact or finish with authority when given a clear path. More than just a scorer, Powell is a quality secondary playmaker. He made good reads when the defenses collapsed on him, or when setting up in the high post and hitting teammates on cuts with pinpoint passes. On defense he flashed some tenacity when he ripped an opposing ball handler, leading to an easy transition score. His shooting still seems to come in spurts, but he did look comfortable when stopping in transition and draining an above the break three. The Tulsa area standout has a u0022bully ballu0022 style that mixes quite well with his outstanding feel for the game.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1685526"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"The physical guard was a menace as a sophomore as a bulldog going downhill.  That intensity and craftiness is still there but there was a very promising sign for the now junior Hornet. In the first half against Owasso, Harris had it going off the dribble from deep. If that shot making ability from deep becomes a consistent theme, he could be a near unstoppable offensive weapon as the ringleader of a talented Hornet backcourt.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1552319"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"After a quiet opening half, Montonati proceeded to put on a show in the second frame. It was a perfect example of why he's started to collect Blue Blood offers. Stepback and contested jumpers in the mid-range and beyond the arc. Along with posts up at the rim. Montonati is a mismatch problem in Oklahoma and even with a recent Gold Medal and big schools starting to recruit him, he plays with a competitive edge.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1343195"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"On Friday afternoon against Mustang, there was a spurt where Mason took over the game and showed everything he could be. A quick drive with a powerful slam. Post ups where his combination of strength and quickness made him unstoppable. Made jumpers. Even running the floor in an attempt to get on the offensive glass. It was one of the best stretch of basketball viewed from Mason over the last few years. After this outburst, the 2024 forward left the court gassed. Which was good to see the exertion that he is capable of, but a sign that more work needs to be done. If Mason improves his conditioning between now and a busy July, he will become one of the most highly recruited players in Oklahoma.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1756347"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Thompson had some loud shooting performances throughout the camp, but the game watched on Friday afternoon was quieter but still solid game. The lanky 6 foot 3 guard has emerged as one of the best shooter from beyond the arc in the Tulsa area. He's starting to add more skill and finesse to his game, most evident with his improvement in the mid-range and the occasional contested finish at the rim. Thompson's wingspan and willingness to battle on the defensive end gives him the potential to continue to develop into an all around player.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1293574"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"A newcomer to Mingo Valley, McLemore is stepping into a primary role for the private school program. Still a good shooter from distance, the 6 foot 5 wing prospect was more active off the dribble. He's starting to have more variety to his off the dribble game, becoming more than just a straight line driver with some pop at the rim. An encourage sign was the ball didn't stick when he had it, as he was a willing passer. It will be an interesting evaluation for McLemore going forward in a new environment. One area of note for improvement, when going left he leans heavily on a spin move back towards his right hand.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1987392"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"The sharpshooter was impressive as he's not just a catch and shoot weapon. The rising sophomore looked very comfortable with the ball in his hands, navigating to spots in the mid-range or even pulling off the dribble from deep. Along with his shooting ability he had the look of a quality passer and appears to be a great decision making as a developing lead ballhandler.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6499930eaf69c"} /-->
