OKC Top 250: Standout Performances Part 2

<p>There were plenty of players who had great showings at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo in Edmond this past weekend. Out of all of the talented players, this is a list of five players I saw who overall performed exceptionally well throughout the day from all classes.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1015853" first="Kyler" last="Mann"] | SF | 2021 Owasso</strong></p> <p>The 6’5" forward is very versatile and was one of the top defenders and rebounders I saw in the gym, always giving the extra effort. Mann scored a ton of his points by using his size and athleticism to drive, and made finishing at the rim look easy. He drew defenders’ attention to himself and had the vision to know when to kick out to open teammates off the drive and when to finish the ball himself. He also hit shots from the mid-range and from deep when he had space.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="938850" first="Maurice" last="Cudjo"] II | SG | 2021 Carl Albert</strong></p> <p>Cudjo used his quickness to beat defenders off the dribble and was aggressive on the drive. He is a physical player who finished through contact a lot of the time. The guard can jump out of the gym and finished some big dunks over defenders.</p> <p><strong>Carter Perry | G | 2023 Vanoss</strong></p> <p>Carter Perry was a facilitator on the court. He moved the ball around effectively and made some quick dishes in transition that led to buckets for his teammates. Off the drive, Perry had some nice finishes with good touch around the basket. He is a good catch-and-shoot three-point shooter, knocking them down in bunches.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="745376" first="James" last="Locke"] | SG | 2021 Carl Albert</strong></p> <p>Locke has a quick first step and was explosive on the drive. He plays physical basketball, often finishing through contact. He can also pull up and shoot well off the dribble. He’s a strong offensive player, and his pull-up shooting ability combined with his physicality and driving made him difficult for defenses to slow down.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="938861" first="Israel" last="Hart"] | PG | 2021 Midwest City</strong></p> <p>Hart was essential to his team. He constantly hustled on offense and defense, refusing to slow down or let the other team get comfortable even for a minute. He drove and finished well, and he knocked down threes showing some range. Hart is a skilled, gritty guard who showed he works hard, does the little things, and consistently is the guy who exerts that extra effort and hustle to make plays for the team.   </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
