<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>

<p>Here's a look at Team Six:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2204985' first='Conley' last='Smith'] (2026 Mountainside)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Solid, physical frame, especially for just a sophomore. Good team player, didn't force the issue yet took the shots when they were made available to him. Was willing to battle for boards, loose balls, and hustle on the defensive end.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1547066' first='Chase' last='McDonald'] (2024 Putnam)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Heady point guard that demonstrated he could either push the pace or control the tempo as necessary. Minimized mistakes and was able to capably find teammates for scores. Solid outside shot and showed the ability to make clutch plays.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1110735' first='Carlos' last='Rodriguez'] (2024 Jefferson)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hard-nosed player who is more of a forward but was actually playing out of position at point guard in the game we watched, but did a credible job bringing the ball up the floor. Great motor on the boards and on defense and was one of the event's to shot-blockers. Underrated lefty shooter.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1604665' first='Isaiah' last='Koehnke'] (2025 Regis)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Knock down shooter, capable of hitting open threes at a high percentage especially if his feet were set. Showed some ability to create with the basketball and converted a couple of drives to the hoop.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1653212' first='Kareem' last='Artharee'] (2025 Gresham)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Good all-around athlete that looked to create with the ball and get to the hoop. Good ball-handler for his size at 6-foot-3 and showed good ranginess and effort on the defensive end.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1368243' first='Jason' last='Grady'] (2025 Westview)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>6-foot-5 wing/forward has the reputation of a shooter - of which he hit shots - but made an effort to get to the basket and score inside. Did an outstanding job of playing big, defending post players and grabbing defensive rebounds by the bushel.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1315364' first='Jonas' last='Spencer'] (2024 North Eugene)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>All-around Swiss Knife type of player at 6-foot-4 on both ends of the floor. Scored both inside and out and defended multiple positions, both in the paint and on the perimeter. Finished around the hoop extremely well.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1621303' first='Brady' last='Muilenburg'] (2025 Ridgeview)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Intriguing prospect with his 6-foot-6 height, length, and ball skills. Preferred to face the basket and create off the dribble with the mid-range pull-up his specialty. Used long arms to be an effective shot blocker on the defensive end.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2204982' first='Christian' last='Hawkins'] (2025 Salem Academy)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Small guard at 5-foot-9 but often found himself in the right place at the right time in the game we watched. Hustle and overall effort helped him be in position to get to loose balls and get a number of easy baskets around the hoop.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1624397' first='Justin' last='Cheng'] (2026 Westview)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Will likely develop as a wing but functioned as an undersized post player at the Expo. Used his physical advantage and toughness to score over smaller defenders in the paint. Pretty good touch on the face up jumper.</p>
