The Expo: Floor Spacing Threats

Big time shooter, who seemed automatic when he got an open look from distance. Attacked close outs well too. Has a bit of wiggle when going downhill, making him a good all around scorer. Making the jump from Verdigris to Bixby. From a skill standpoint, he looks capable of handling the step up in competition.     Always has been one of the top shooters in the class. Hardeman is complete with parking lot range. It's impressive how effortless he makes it look when shooting from deep distance. Has also improved as a passer. Got downhill to make paint touches to set up other shooters and played heads up in transition.     The Bobcat was automatic when left open from the corner. It's always a good sign when a smaller guard is willing to get off the ball and help with the spacing. Because often smaller guards from OKC are prone to over dribbling. It wasn't the case with Mitchell who was a regular spot up threat, while taking efficient shots. To go along with the spot up ability, he did cook a bit off the dribble as well. But liked how his shooting felt in the flow of the offense. Very promising signs that Mitchell can be a big time scorer in the Class of 2028.     Walters often catches the eye for doing a little bit of everything as a wing with good size. Saturday was one of the more consistent shooting performances seen from him. He settled into more of a role of being a consistent three point threat during 5 on 5 play. A good sign in his development as he has a rock solid base, and turning the corner as shooter could lead to a huge junior season.     Was on fire in the first 5 on 5 contest. Hit shots from spot up opportunities and pulling up off the dribble. Made good passes as well. Proving to be a well rounded guard along with his shooting ability.   Samilton had a good spring and summer of regional AAU play ball. And now impressed in this camp setting. His next test will be to overcome bumpy start to his high school career by settling in and thriving under a new head coach at Shawnee.     Small town net scorcher, type of shooter who needs to be picked up shortly after crossing halfcourt. Has text book form and deep range. He made defenders pay when they went under screens. Did most of his damage from deep, but can operate in the mid-range as well. And did a good job of handling pressure and getting downhill after teams closed out on him.     Continues to boost his rep as a big time shooter in the sophomore class. Hit from long range and off the dribble into pull ups. Newton's handle is looking better, creating space for the pull ups. He's also more concise with quicker crossovers to get to the rim. Big time all around scoring upside to go along with his shooting superpower.
