Bryan Williams Jr
Williams is a flat-out energy guy who only wants to play defense. Throughout the Scrimmage versus East Central, he consistently guarded the best player on the team regardless of whether it was a perimeter player or a post player. It was a back-and-forth game throughout and towards the end he got a still, went coast to coast for a dunk, and got a one on the play. This created momentum for Mid-West City to eventually get the win. He is a team-first guy and always makes the right plays on both ends to put his team in a position to win the basketball game.
Loper is a kid who plays with a nice flow and has a great feel for the game. He loves coming off handoffs and getting downhill to attach the defense. He doesn’t do a bunch of dribbling with the basketball regardless of if he is trying to score or pass the basketball. He does great with moving in open spaces without the basketball and always seems to find himself almost wide-open for shots. He is a guy you need on your team at the next level to defenses to play your team honestly because if he goes up against a zone he is a zone buster.
Highlights
Loper is a guy that is a very heady player that understands how to get to his spots and get his shot off. He likes to focus on operating in the middle third of the basketball court and always knows when to attach the defense. His favorite time to attach is after the basketball has been swung a few times where he can get into a nice rhythm upon catching the basketball. On the defensive side of the basketball, he does a great job at anticipating steals in the back court which leads to him getting easy baskets on semi fastbreaks.

Kameron Burris
Kameron Burris
Burris is a bigger guard who loves the catch and shot. He makes it easy for his point guard to penetrate because his defender can’t leave him to help. His favorite shot that he makes frequently is the corner three and he moves great without the basketball. On defense, his team runs a run and jump full-court press with him playing at the top of it and it allows him to get deflections for his team. He is very good at staying poised regardless of whether it needs to be a sense of urgency or not.
Benton is a bigger guard that can play the point guard or shooting guard. He does a great job of changing paces to throw the defense off balance. When he makes up his mind that he wants to get to the basket, he will use his strength to impose his will and it’s nothing that any different can do to stop him. Being a bigger guard, he can see over smaller defenders and make the right play to get his shooters open shots. He has a great feel for the game on the offensive end, knows when to sit back and chill, and when to impose his will on the game.
Highlights
Hezekiah Green
Hezekiah Green
Green is a guy that is great at slashing to get to the bucket. He has no problem finishing with either hand and brings a bunch of energy to his team. He can finish either over defenders, through defenders, or around defenders. He is very in transition if you give him the ball early at creating opportunities for himself at the rim. His strength is something that is to his advantage on both sides of the basketball.
Derek Stokes
Derek Stokes
Stokes is a guy that is automatic from the three-point line. He consistently showed throughout the scrimmage against Verdigris his ability to make shots. With Verdigris playing a zone he was able to take advantage of his team sharing the basketball and getting him open shots. At times he had to do some things off the dribble and was still able to consistently knock down shots. He did well throughout the game using his ability to be a threat from the three-point line to create opportunities for him to get in the lane and finish with a lay-up or dish it off to his teammate for an easy basket.
