PH Top 250 Expo: Team 7 Evaluations

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>More content from last Sunday's event, this time breaking down the prospects that made up Team 7 at the Expo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1499790' first='Joseph' last='Cipriano'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cipriano had effective moments as an off the dribble scorer, who used good fundamentals to attack the basket. One instance came with a strong pump fake to a closing out defender, then he had a good acrobatic finish at the rim. That became a theme with the 405 guard being a confident finisher who didn't let contests bother him. He also fit into the camp setting by pushing it in transition, where his finishing ability again shined. His confidence as a scorer combined with his passing ability should set up for a big senior season with the OKC Storm </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1987390' first='Tayt' last='Jackson'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson was not shy when given opportunities to score, and for good reason. He's a decisive driver, with a good first step when getting downhill, using moves such as euro step to get separation to finish at the basket. When players sagged off, especially if a bigger player got switched onto him, he didn't hesitant to pull from distance either. The Bristow Pirate is likely to light up the scoreboard this season for his squad, as Bristow looks to have a bounce back season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1145132' first='Braden' last='Pritchett'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A small town standout from eastern Oklahoma, Pritchett had a couple good moments of heady and quality defensive play. Once such instance came when he was targeted in isolation at the top of the key, he showed good lateral movement and stayed in front of the ballhandler, eventually forcing a pass. This defensive grit continued with some deflections and steals in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1552357' first='Addox' last='Sanders'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sanders hunted for shots along the perimeter throughout the camp. He was most efficient in catch and shoot situations. His efficiency when taking long off dribble jumpers dropped a bit. But he was smooth with his movements to get into the looks, and that paid off when as the camp progressed he started to attack more off the dribble. Even with some good looking moves that included nice hangtime on a made fadeaway. Sanders' ability as a shooter could earn him playing time for a reloading Norman squad this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1482831' first='Xon' last='Williams'] - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A speedy lead guard, Williams is looking to end his high school career strongly for the back to back defending 3A champions Millwood. His great end to end speed gives off the impression of effortlessly gliding up and down the court, especially in transition. At the rim he used both hands when finishing and showed some serious range when shooting off the dribble. There's always been a good combination of raw natural talent and developing skill for Williams, it's now on him to put together a complete senior season as he goes for another state title.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
