Connor Fretheim (#13 ballers elite)- Connor plays with a ton of energy constantly sprinting from rim to rim looking to make a play on both ends of the floor. Fretheim was a really good finisher both in transition and in the half court set with either hand.
Joshua Jones (#32 Oklahoma Runners)- He’s looking to get downhill at all times and if he does he’s going to use his strength to power through the defenders and finish at the rim. Has good size and a really good frame already, his development is going to do him alot of justice because he’s definitely only going to get better.
Ja’Meir Hayfort (#5 Texas Summitt) – extremely athletic and showed us glimpses of that when he gets to the rim. One possession he jumped off his right leg with his leg in the air and finished with his right hand driving to the left side. That takes a skill to pull that off going across the lane and he has just that. Long wingspan and one of the biggest players on the floor he’s going to make a really nice wing here in the next couple of years.
Jeremiah Colbert (#11 Texas Impact)- you love his enthusiasm and passion when he plays. He quick and shifty, has good size for a guard and keeps the ball high on his finished. He plays through contact and lets it be known he’s just as good.
Erick James (#5 Texas Impact)- He’s tough to guard and it seems like he’s always headed downhill when you have to stop him. He sets you up with a hesitation move and he blows right past you. Depending on how he’s feeling he may wait on you at the rim to create the contact for a chance for an and one. He has his handle on a string and you better believe if you’re guarding him you’re going to be dancing.
