Oklahoma Prospects Turning Heads on the Prep Circuit

With many different tournaments taking place across the country, we wanted to take some more time to reflect on recent performances. Let's take a look at who has been turning heads and making a major impact for their club teams. Look for the following Oklahoma prospects to continue to elevate their play over the next few months.    Sykes has been playing at a very high level for his AAO Flight squad. The junior most recently provided 17 points and nine rebounds against WV Gold 17U. The 6'3" combo guard followed up with 19 points, 13 rebounds and three assists against Tre Mann Elite. His effort and athleticism have been off the chart; this has been shown with his terrific rebounding numbers. He has given his team a big-time spark with his enthusiasm and intensity on both ends of the floor.     Chatman had a great weekend in Tulsa at the PRO16 League Event. Malachi showed his shooting prowess to go along with some strong defensive performances. Against Omaha Elite 17U, he helped propel his Missouri Flight 17U team to victory. The junior had 18 points, six rebounds and six steals. He played with active hands and was routinely in the right position as a help-side defender. Offensively, he looked comfortable spotting up in transition, while also using his big frame to attack the rim.     Beckett was locked in as a ball handler and facilitator at the UA Rise Circuit Session 1 Event. His i4 16U team went undefeated and he was truly the straw that stirred the drink for his teammates. In his final game of the weekend, he had 13 assists to just two turnovers. By providing some great passes to set up others, his team was able to finish first in point differential at the showcase. The 6'1" point guard is truly a pass-first player that continues to show outstanding court vision and improved athleticism.     Bossell has been playing for ProSkills EYBL this spring. Jarius mad a major impact at the EYBL Session 2 event, showing his ability to score from all three levels. He had his step back jump shot working early and often and excels stepping back to his left. The sophomore paired this with his explosive first step and showed an ability to finish through contact at the rim. He loves to operate on the left side of the floor as a jump shooter and continues to show an ability to create separation when teams try to stay in front and keep him out of the paint.     Wright put on a tremendous display of versatility at the UA Rise Circuit Session 1 Event. Against NBBA Elite Norcal, the Newcastle standout provided 21 points, seven rebounds and a block. At 6'7", he continues to add to his game, shooting 3-6 from long range for his i4 Basketball club. Wright really loves the corner spots as a floor spacer and has combined this recently with relentless effort as an offensive rebounder. Owen is very comfortable in the mid-post and has also shown the ability to get to his spots via the dribble before elevating over smaller players.
