Midwest Showcase – Standouts From Columbia

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the Midwest Showcase wrapped up, we wanted to take a look back at who stood out from a strong group of Oklahoma high school prospects. This showcase brought us some intriguing matchups, and we were able to see some players truly separate themselves from a lot of the others at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2639479"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-6a35c0a49fba7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">RJ really stood out for Catoosa against Vianney (MO). Not only was he able to catch fire from long range, but his play-making was on display throughout the game. Hall impressed the bystanders at the Columbia Sports Fieldhouse thanks to some tremendous passes. He was able to break down defenders and read second level players to setup teammates for quality looks. You could tell that his length made a difference when finding angles and shooting over smaller perimeter defenders for the Golden Griffins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2327102"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-6a35c0a49fc1d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dkarrion gave his Union teammates a lift against Farmington (AR). Press Taylor proved to be a formidable offensive threat for the Cardinals. Titsworth was up to the challenge and really competed hard on the defensive end. His intensity and quick feet were able to force turnovers and create problems at times for the opposition. His ball pressure was consistent, as he worked hard to energize his team on that end of the floor. He made up for any lack of length with his anticipation and active hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3191948"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-6a35c0a49fc6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Konkol showed his all-around game in a tilt against De Smet Jesuit (MO). The senior-to-be ran the floor in transition and was rewarded with some great look ahead transition passes. Ethan was able to get his 3-point shot going and from there played off of his teammates well. Konkol showed solid body control finishing at the rim against some strong contests on the break. Ethan has a very good fell for the game and was able to work to areas where defenders were not, following blocked shots or steals from other Cascia Hall defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140748"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-6a35c0a49fcba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mitchell showed his outstanding scoring ability against Chaminade (MO). He seemingly hit tough shot after tough shot against some very strong defensive intensity from the Red Devils. With the game going back and forth early on, the junior was able to create separation and hit a pair of fadeaway jump shots. Mitchell continues to mix play-making, shooting and finishing at a high level. His combination of offensive moves and counter moves were very impressive over the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2509295"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-6a35c0a49fd05"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Murry was put to the test against Principia (MO) in Columbia. The Panthers presented some very good length with a number of players that can switch defensively. Keaton used his shot fake at a high level to navigate to his spots inside the arc in this one. His smooth, left-handed stroke looked effortless, providing some much needed scoring for his squad. Murry worked both his one and two dribble pull-up moves on the left side of the floor to perfection. Once he was able to get into a rhythm, he began to show his tough shot-making ability over the outstretched arms of help defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
