<p>The PrepHoops Oregon Freshman Showcase took place on Sunday morning and many of the state's top incoming high school players were at the Beaverton Hoop YMCA for some high-level competition. This week, we take a look at our scouting notes for each individual roster, breaking down this huge crop of talent player-by-player. Here's a look at Team Five:</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2888634' first='Ryland' last='Lockman'] (2029 Barlow) </strong>- Lockman didn't get a ton of opportunities in the game we watched, but the 6-foot-2 swingman made out of the chances he got. The incoming Barlow freshman had a solid-looking perimeter jumper and he often looked to find other teammates before making any offensive decisions for himself.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2910091' first='Ryder' last='Powell'] (2029 Banks) </strong>- One of the top athletes in the event, the 6-foot-3 Powell made a statement by dunking during the three-man weave drills at the start of camp. The athleticism of the incoming Banks freshman shone through the game action as he capably used his strength and length to get to the basket for scores but also showed a smooth jumper from three-point range. Powell didn't just shoot either as he was a factor on the boards and handed out a number of assists. He's a candidate for First Team All-Camp team honors.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2918749' first='Kade' last='Xavier Kriz'] (2029 Mountain View) </strong>- Kriz didn't get many chances offensively but nevertheless worked hard and played good team basketball. In the opportunities he did get, he was able to hit a couple of perimeter shots including a three, and in general showed good motor and attitude throughout the event.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2917228' first='AJ' last='Alexandre'] Jr (2029 Tualatin)</strong> - 6-foot guard used is well-built frame to muscle his way to the basket for scores over smaller defenders. The incoming Tualatin freshman rebounded well for his position and overall played with a high level of passion and desire.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2350684' first='Prince' last='Diane'] (2029 Beaverton) </strong>- Athletic 6-foot combo guard consistently made plays on Sunday. The incoming Beaverton freshman was active running the floor and attacking with the ball in his hands, looking at getting to the rim but also able to hit some perimeter shots. His speed and length came in handy on the boards and defensive end as he racked up rebounds and steals.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2949447' first='Rafael' last='Pena'] (2029 Henley)</strong> - One of the shortest listed players at the event at 5-foot-5, Pena played bigger than his size thanks to his confidence level and willingness to mix it up with players bigger than him. He was a tremendous rebounder for his size in the game we watched, got a putback bucket, and was able to hand out a couple of dimes.</p>

<p><strong>Tyvelle Hill (2029 Roosevelt)</strong> - The younger brother of former all-state honoree and current VCU Ram Terrence, Hill put in a nice day's work at the Freshman Showcase. Currently listed at 5-foot-9, the incoming Roosevelt freshman is still growing physically but has the mind and skills of a more mature player. He played with a good feel for the game, showed a nice touch with his lefty jumper, and had the quickness to get by his defender for finishes at the rim or kick outs to teammates for scores.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2736843' first='Brody' last='Clark'] (2029 Barlow) </strong>- Long and lanky at 6-foot-2, Clark used those attributes to get some nice finishes around the hoop to complete some tough drives, often drawing contact. He ran the floor well, rebounded his position, and showed some nice ball-handling skills for his size.</p>
