918 Notebook: PH OK State

With a chance to earn minutes as part of the rotation for one of the best high school teams in Oklahoma, Wallace is putting his best foot forward this summer. Playing up in 17U Division, he was a confident and clutch jump shooter from three during big moments in a close game. Shooting is a great ticket to early minutes for younger guards who are still growing. And if Wallace can master the bulldog type mentality that seems to be a requirement to be a Hornet, there's a chance we'll be seeing him hit big shots this winter as well.     Quick guard brought a nice change of pace and extra gear to his [program_tooltip program_id='2078402' first='Team' last='Griffin'] Select squad. Thrived in the up tempo nature, as he can cover a lot of ground in a hurry. Had a couple "almost dunks' in transition. That if he can find that extra bit of leaping ability and power, could be one of the better finishes in 5A this year for Sapulpa. Lewis was strong as a junior and seems to be knocking on the door of taking his game to the next level.     The still growing Memorial Charger had the flashes of his big time potential and athleticism during both days. On occasion he'd break out a move to the basket or slam that's rare for a player with at his height at now 6 foot 6. But he was too up and down. Johnson has 5A All State type potential, and to become a priority for regional JuCos. In order to achieve college success, he can not be as anonymous as he was for large periods of times like he was in games watched this weekend The ceiling is great, but the floor must become higher for Johnson.     A shooter with good feel. Campbell drained big threes from a few steps behind the lane. While also popping up in the mid-range, even tracking down long rebounds and quickly getting into his text book shooting form. He often found his spots off the ball, but the times when he was on the ball he did look comfortable and to have upside there. Might be a rare case on a player possibly needing to be even MORE aggressive when looking for his shot.     After a strong freshman campaign, the Rogers Roper has taken his game to new heights this spring and summer as part of a quality all around team. This weekend was no different, as Crosslen's squad played up in the 16U division. And the promising 918 wing never looked out of place. Especially when he gets a run way in the halfcourt or loose in transition for a powerful slam. Along with the highlight reel plays, he's turning into a complete wing. Who along with doing the dirty work on defense, he has a chance to mature into a dynamic scorer.     Had watched a couple games of Hackett at Fort Gibson this past season and was intrigued as the youngster was still growing into his frame but clearly possessed big time athletic upside. Dunk fest highlight videos from early AAU tournaments this spring and turned intrigue into "need to see this kid in peron". Seeing the hulking youngster in person, the upside is clear. Broad shoulder frame, long arms and great nimbleness for his size. He's going to be a force in Oklahoma over these next few years, as there's only a handful of players in this state at any time with his raw traits. It's also looks likely that while he has college upside in basketball, his upside in football could be even higher.
