The Expo Oklahoma: Team 5 Evaluations

Thompson is growing into a guard/wing that has ideal size and quality shooting from beyond the arc. Looks to be at his best as a catch and shoot weapon. But also did deliver some off the dribble, which included a smooth "hop" gather that allowed him to create space to hit from deep. One area of improvement that would be good to see heading into his sophomore year is improving on the defensive end. With his long arms and size, he could be real havoc causer with the right mindset.     Up tempo guard, who closed out the camp with a strong performance. Has a burst with the ball in his hands, allowing him to get downhill and pressure the rim. Good finisher for his size and also a threat as a shooter. With the long speed to thrive in transition, and short area quickness in the halfcourt, Boyce is a handful for the opposition.     Wallace continued his strong summer by knocking down threes and showing more swagger as a defender and driver. During one three on three session, he picked the pocket of one of the best players at the camp. Good footwork on an "euro" take during 5 on 5. Has made huge strides over the last 6 months, and with his shooting ability looks set to impact winning by providing depth for the 5A favorites Hornets.     There's a lot to like about the potential of the young wing prospect. He was comfortable as a spot up threat, and routinely made the defense pay when he was left open. Gregory is also dangerous as a driver, capable of attacking open lanes and using his size to finish even against taller players. It was also an added bonus that he often made the right pass and didn't stop the ball too often. The upside is there and the flashes of becoming a dynamic scorer are evident for the youngster. But at times his game can feel too casual, becoming more consistently aggressive will be key for him earn minutes as he makes the jump from small town basketball to Class 6A. Once he does, Gregory has the talent to makes waves this winter and beyond.     Meely had one of the best motors and understanding of his role of any player at the camp. He has long arms, which allowed him to live on the offensive glass and also swat a fair share of shots. If the lanky forward is still growing, there's a lot of untapped upside for him to turn into an impact rim protector on defense and an above the rim finisher on offense. Dale is fresh off three straight 2A titles and return 5 contributors from that squad, Meely could be the next man up to help them extend their run.       Fresh off a productive freshman campaign and grassroots season, the 918 standout showed that he's one of the quality shooters in his grade. Looks strong as a catch and shoot weapon. While also capable of rising up and being unbothered by contesting defenders while shooting off the dribble. Good foundation as a shooter and feel, will be interesting to see how the rest of his game develops.     Horan had a complete performance throughout the day. He closed out one 3 on 3 game with an on fire performance that included deep three pointers and pull up 18-20 footers. The Cashion Wildcat wasn't as dialed in from deep later on, but was more well rounded and confident as a complete guard. Understands the concept of passing up a good look for himself by getting a teammate a great look. Size, shooting and feel, Horan has been undervalued in the Class of 2025. But now will be kept tabs on as he enters his final year of high school basketball.
