2027 Rankings: Don't Sleep on these Scorers

An injury has put a damper on Creepingbear's summer, but the lefty's bag of scoring moves are still very NICE. Has one of the nicest stepback jumpers in the state. Makes it look effortless when he rises up from three. And is slippery off the bounce. It's not just flash either, in a Class 2A Area championship game he exploded for 41 clutch points in a OT victory to punch a ticket to space. Expect a healthy Creepingbear to have Riverside right back in the Class 2A State Tournament for the third straight year, while producing some of the best highlights in Oklahoma.     Litherland made a junior year leap at McLoud, with a new level to his strength and fluidness as a mature scorer. So far this July, he's backed that up with impressive highlights of his ability to gain separation to hit in the mid-range. Or explode all the way to the rim. Plays with a nice fluid light on his feet pace which keeps defenders on the heels. With good size and wingspan, he's more than just a scorer. However his ability to put the ball in the bucket should help him open coaches' eyes and lead to next level opportunities. Where the rest of the coach's son's game should lead to next level success.     After clutch buckets by House propelled Douglass to the Class 4A State Championship game, the 405 guard has carried his momentum forward with Oklahoma Chaos. Has a bit of an old school effectiveness to his game. Leaning on his natural strength, good footwork and shooting to be very efficient from 15 feet and in. Can knife his way all the way to the rim, or use floaters to scorer amongst the trees. Not a burner, but plays strong with his first step, and uses a good understanding of pace and angles to get where he needs to go. Add in quality three point shooting and he should be among the most consistent scorers in the 405 and the state this winter.     McKinney had flashes of scoring excellence as part of a loaded Edmond Santa Fe squad. Now the guard with all the next level measurables will be the main man for John Marshall. This summer he has thrived in the up and down tempo of AAU basketball. With the ability to go coast to coast as an one man fast break. While also being very difficult to keep out of the lane in the halfcourt. Has a very nice iso game, keeping defenders guessing. Powerful dunks when given a runway also point out his untapped upside. Looks set to explode for a huge senior season with the Bears.     Northern Oklahoma bucket getter with deceptive hops and also big time range from deep. Microwave type shooter, who can heat up and drain multiple threes in quickness succession. Off the bounce he plays strong on drives, then suddenly can raise up and punch it home with authority. Has been a bit of a hidden gem, from the small town ranks. But continuing to make noise this spring and summer makes him a priority name, who should be a priority for JuCo and NAIA programs.
