Flashed the athleticism by ripping and going from the wing for a slam. Getting on the offensive glass to. Also knocked down a stepback and a catch and shoot triple. It was a dazzling start, before he cooled down in the final minutes of a tough loss. Few Oklahoma prospects have his unique combination of size and athleticism. The light hasn't fully come on, but when it does. Look out. His potential sophomore emergence to combine to with his upperclassmen at Booker T Washington should have them as State Title contenders. Even if they're up in Class 6A. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421976"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3652306,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1460f01b66b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After a tough opening weekend in Memphis, Noles bounced back in Kansas City. Was in double figures twice this past weekend, and perhaps more importantly valued the ball much better. Cutting his turnovers in half. The Norman Tiger did most his damage as a spot up specialist. But at times flashed creatively off the dribble. With a nifty spin move on drives, and even draining a tough stepback during a 15 point outburst on Sunday. The exposure to speed and athleticism of the national 15U level should serve him well as he looks to earn a bigger role with Norman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2939598"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3652298,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1460f01b758"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A lanky young guard, who is finding his footing with Texas EYBL squad Drive Nation. Went for double figures in a Friday victory, including a pair of threes. Caught him in person on Saturday, which wasn't as quite of a clean shooting display. Still showed good fundamentals with not forcing looks, making the right passes, and the ability to pump fake and relocate. Has a bit of a gangly aspect to his movements right now, indicating the young tall guard could still be growing. Remains a top name to track in the Class of 2029. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2834176"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3652304,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1460f01b7b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another Oklahoman with a better second weekend on the national circuit. Physical guard, who was at his best attacking the basketball and buying in more on defense. Is an athletic and acrobatic finisher around the rim. With an impressive layup package for his age. Giving a great example of his power, elevation and body control. Should be a dominating power guard for Ada this winter, as the Cougars aim for their first State Tournament appearance since 2020. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2921042"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3652307,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1460f01b80c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's little moments for the high upside post prospect. Like blocking a shot and starting to show a bit of swagger an attitude. An aspect that his older brother didn't start to fully display till his 17U summer. If the younger Pierce can start to unlock that swagger more as a sophomore for Union, he could be the best rim protector in the 918 this winter. Still, it's a wait and see approach with Pierce. As odds are there will be a lot of production to see in the near future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
