The controlled senior guard had spurts of looking unstoppable. He got Yukon off to a strong start in the first with trademark Snow moves. Including drawing contact from behind on a jumper, to earn a trip to the line to go along with his make. An amazing tear drop floater, and some on the money lead passing to teammates cutting to the hoop.  Snow’s big first half continued in the second quarter, as a flurry of deep threes and more creation for teammates closed out the first 16 minutes.

While he was quieter in the second half, he was a key part of the fourth quarter flurry that forced overtime.  Instead of forcing threes early, he kept getting to the rim. Where he would score himself, or kick it out to teammates. His smart play helped Yukon extend the game and eventually force overtime.

In arguably the best conference in the state last year, Snow lead it in scoring at 19 a gamwm He’s not only a complete scorer, he’s very efficient thanks to his outstanding basketball IQ and he rarely forces a bad shot. But can score from all the court, with deep threes, mid-range pull ups and teardrop floaters. The same high IQ play that leads to his efficient scoring pairs with his tight handles to be an outstanding creator for his teammates when driving and off ball screens.

Snow is a composed lead guard, who the only thing missing on his school resume is wins. During grassroots seasons he proved that he can deliver in clutch moments, as OKC Primetime consistently won through April, May and July. The 19 points a game he averaged last year also came with handing out 5 assists and grabbing 4 rebounds. All against some of the best teams in the vaunted Central Oklahoma Athletic Conference.

The senior plays with his head on a swivel, having that small guard knack to buy the extra split second needed to make the right pass or find that spark of daylight to get off a shot. He has sneaky burst when getting downhill, with an understanding of angles to get off shots against shot blockers. Snow has been one of the top watches for hoop heads in the state, because he simply gets how to play. Now the question headed into the final months of his high school careers, can he and his teammates start to win more consistently at the 6A level?

Who else to close out this lineup? Snow has been immense all spring and summer and that was no different today.  He’s immensely impactful on both ends of the court, even blocking a shot in transition.  On offense, his quick first step put pressure on defenses all game, while his outstanding body control and feel on drives allows him to find space. Snow even continued to shoot it well from distance, on pull ups and off the ball opportunities.  The Yukon Miller has proved that his production, feel for the game and high level skillset far exceed concerns of his height.

It was a quiet first half for the cerebral lead guard, often leaning on passing and not looking for his own shot. But when it was time to salt the game away in the second half, the ball was often in his hands. As he made correct play after correct play. He was controlled and methodical, from hunting mismatches to score himself, to driving and kicking to open teammates. One specific example of his court awareness came on a long defensive rebound. Instead of trying to grab it, he tapped the ball ahead to a streaking teammate for a score.

When watching Snow with Primetime this AAU season, he has been one of the players with the biggest impact on wins. He’s a calm and quiet killer, that with good burst and tight handle often navigates amongst the trees as a creator and scorer.  And while he’s great as a set up man for his teammates, when big buckets are needed he consistently hits from the mid-range and beyond the arc.  Add in timely plays on the defensive end, and he’s a smaller guard who consistently leaves a much bigger impact on the game.

Another floor general who makes winning plays, Snow led his team to the semifinals of the contest. In the quarterfinal victory on Sunday morning, it was his control of the game on both ends of the court. The Yukon Miller popped up for key steals by reading passing lanes and even took a good charge in transition as well. On offense he continues to find pockets of spaces in the mid-range and at the rim, where he’s efficient with a floater or fadeaways.

Rarely out of control, the patient guard is a grinder that doesn’t get sped up on the offensive end, and leaves his fingerprints all over the defensive end.

On Saturday morning, Snow delivered in the clutch for Primetime with a go ahead score in closing moments to cap off a huge come from behind victory for Primetime.  Against a big and athletic squad from Missouri, the moments watched provided promise and pointed to an area of improvement. 

With a tight handle and a great feel for the game, the Yukon Miller was still able to attack in transition and get inside in half court situations.  One aspect that was picked up in this game, Snow mirrors aspects of Chris Paul and Trae Young, with how they subtly initiate contact with defenders. Especially in transition, which gives him more control to create space and get off his shot amongst the trees. His floater and mid-range game benefit from this trait. 

The area of improvement that was noticed, was some of his passing against the size. An issue with smaller guards is how quickly passing windows can close on them. While Snow is a quality passer in most situations, there were a couple times where he was trapped by size on drives and perimeter traps, which led to a couple turnovers. He must continue to improve with his tight window passing ability. 

One of the most productive players in the state, Snow is a fantastic finisher at the rim for his size. He has fantastic body control, and understands how to use angles to get off shots when driving amongst the trees. While also being a sniper from beyond the arc. Along with his ability to scorer, he’s importantly a smart passer and quality facilitator.

Oklahoma Primetime and Rogue played arguably the best game of the weekend on Saturday evening when they went to three overtimes and the game was back and forth throughout. Primetime edged out Rogue in the third overtime and Yukon 2024 guard Dylan Snow Dylan Snow 5'10" | PG Yukon | 2024 State OK absolutely went off in the showcase game. Snow would finish with a game-high 28 points and was hitting shots from all over the court. He really started heating up in the second half and the only thing that slowed him down was a lower leg cramp that sidelined him in the second half just as he was starting to get on a roll. Those 28 points could have been much more if he didn’t have to exit the game. Nevertheless, Snow did return to the floor and finished the game out in strong fashion as he helped his team score a very big win. It was one of the more impressive performances of the weekend.
