All-Grassroots: 17U forwards second team

<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 100%; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="955401" first="Marcell" last="Perry"]</span></strong> | <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Oklahoma Chaos</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;">6’5" SF</td> <td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000ea6;">Southeast ’22</span></strong></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>One of the strongest, most powerful forces in the Oklahoma City metro, Perry was a year younger than most of his competition, but that was not salient to spectators. He spent his junior summer bullying his way through contact in the paint, slashing from the wing and protecting the rim fervently on the defensive side of the ball.</p> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 100%; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1015840" first="Chad" last="Milne"]</strong> </span>| <span style="font-size: 10pt;">H&amp;H Elite</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;">6’6" SF/PF</td> <td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #aa9200;">Allen ’21</span></strong></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Versatility is the name of the game in grassroots basketball, and few embodied that status like Milne. The do-it-all forward played above the rim for H&amp;H, and with a gather it was a lost cause for defenders. He can swing out to the perimeter, as well, and routinely displayed an arsenal of driving skills from that spot against un-anticipatory defenders.</p> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 100%; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="954194" first="JV" last="Seat"]</span></strong> | <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Team Buddy Buckets</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;">6’4" SF</td> <td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #7c0000;">Edmond Memorial ’22</span></strong></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Seat was able to show off some new talents with TBB in his junior summer, playing up with the senior squad and making plays both from the perimeter and interior. He shot the ball well from distance, especially after he established his interior game to lagging defenders. Defensively, he was an enforcer, even against national competition at high levels.</p> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 100%; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="745386" first="Abraham" last="Aghasedo"]</strong></span> | <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Oklahoma Power</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;">6’7" C</td> <td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #00007a;">Edmond North ’21</span></strong></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>The improvements Aghasedo has made to his game since his junior summer are uncanny. With stature on his size, Aghasedo has developed a newfound confidence in his interior role, while finding new ways to use his power to produce on both ends of the court. His footwork, post maneuvers and strength made him a tremendous task for opposing defenders.</p> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 21px;"> <tbody> <tr style="height: 21px;"> <td style="width: 100%; height: 21px; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="931234" first="Elijah" last="Mason"]</span></strong> | <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Oklahoma Swarm</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;">6’5" PF</td> <td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #c50000;">HFC Warriors ’21</span></strong></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Mason played somewhat of a utility role for Swarm, allowing him to flourish in his numerous talents. Offensively, he was a multi-useful offensive weapon with skills to play both from the interior and perimeter. He could get to the rim with his handle, use his power to back-down defenders and even strike from distance when he had the opportunity.</p>
