#PHTheFinale: 15U Standouts

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma — The Finale, presented by Prep Hoops was another stop on the Prep Hoops Circuit that brought out the best of the best competition, this time from all over the South and Midwest. This action-packed event was filled with talented recruits from slam dunkers to ankle breakers to knock down jump shooters. Here we’ll take a look at the 15U the highest-performing players from The Finale that really stood out and made a major impact on the floor. <hr /> <img class="size-medium wp-image-1238327 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/IMG_0188-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" />Josh Thorton | Shooting Guard | KC Runnin Rebels 2024 This 6-foot-1-inch scoring guard operated well when given space and in isolation. Thorton knows his spots and has a knack for getting to them regularly. Good footwork, can wiggle and step through tight windows, and score from each level of the floor, he even drew the foul calls at a high rate when penetrating the lane. Josh Thorton has an abundance of untapped potential and raw skills, he’s a big guard that can put up points and he seems like he hasn’t even scratched the surface of his capabilities yet. <hr /> <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1238328" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/IMG_0180-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" />Cameron Parker | Center | Next Level Oklahoma 2024 This big body postman dominated and had full control of the paint offensively all weekend long. No one stood a chance when attempting to box out Cameron Parker near the rim as he followed his teammates’ shots all the way to the basket, creating second-chance buckets and opportunities for his squad. The 2025 prospect was extremely powerful with the ball on the block, the force he backed opponents down with was amazing, he sent defenders flying with his strength down low. On the defensive side of the ball, Parker clogged the lane, his presence alone altered shot and pass attempts within the post. <hr /> Trey Tuck | Combo Guard | Team Buddy Buckets 2024 Buddy Buckets guard Trey Tuck looks as if he is on his way to becoming one of the most deadly catch-and-shoot specialists of his class in the state of Oklahoma. He was absolutely deadly when spotting up, catching the ball in rhythm, and letting it fly from any point beyond the arc with and without a hand in his face, displaying a very smooth shooting motion, Tuck never rushed or changed his jumpshot, he shot it with the same poise and confidence every single time. Eventually, the defense attempted to force him to drive and he proved to be able to beat his man off the dribble with either hand from any spot on the floor. Tuck excelled most when attacking closeouts and looking to score at the hoop using his college-ready build to finish through the traffic. <hr /> <img class="size-medium wp-image-1238329 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/IMG_0154-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" />[player_tooltip player_id="1230115" first="Christian" last="Hammons"] | Shooting Guard | JEB Elite 2024 [player_tooltip player_id="1230115" first="Christian" last="Hammons"] proved to be the perfect glue guy for JEB Elite, his intangibles are what set him apart and his production was off the charts. Hammons did all the little things that most never even attempt to do, always finding a way to affect the outcome of the game in one way or another. This two-way guard didn’t have to dominate the ball to put points on the board, he often got his buckets within the flow of the offense or off of second-chance opportunities that he created. Very smart player that consistently looked to make the right play at all times, whenever his team called upon him Hammons was there, making plays on defense and knocking down clutch three-pointers on offense at the most opportune times. <hr />
