A magician with the ball in his hands, Pinder is already among the best handlers and passers in Oklahoma. Regardless of class. Sees the floor exceptionally well and is able to misdirect defenders with true no look passes. His ability to elevate teammates and create good looks are some of his best long term traits. But don’t sleep on his ability to let it rain from deep. The Edison Eagle is right up there with the other elite shooters in the class. Especially with the tough off the dribble looks he hits. This winter, he will be among the most productive players in the state. And should be a bet on production prospect for college systems that utilizer smaller guards.

There are very few players in Oklahoma regardless of class who can see the floor better than Pinder. The youngster seemingly has eyes in the back of his head with the way he’s able to read the defense and make all the passes. He’s very adept at threading the needle of tight windows on drives to find wide open shooters.

While passing elevates his game, Pinder is a very skilled and complete guard. Has outstanding handles and already can dictate the pace of varsity games. Knows how to buy that extra second to get his shot off on drives into the trees. While also able to use pump fakes and other moves to create space for jumpers. Where he can be a sniper from deep or hit in the mid-range. As his game continues to develop, his ability to control games will make a next level point guard.

Pinder is one of the best passers in the state, regardless of class. Has years of experience playing with and against older competition, and it shows in how he reads the floor. Seemingly has eyes in the back of his head with some of the fancy feeds he distributes. Good pace as a driver, with a patience not common for his age. Deep range from three helps open the floor as he’s a certified sniper. Advanced skill level should help him continue to be one of the top producers in the class.

Bright spot for Edison in the title game loss. Incredibly smooth and gifted with the ball for a freshman. Not the twitchiest athlete right now, but understands angles and how to dictate the pace to go around double teams and either distribute or knock down pull up jumpers. Hit from the mid-range and from three. Plays with a feel beyond his years and is a key part of a Edison team that is very much in the mix for a 5A State Tournament berth.

Pinder has long been a name to know for plugged in basketball watchers in Oklahoma. He’s played up multiple age groups with various prep schools and AAU programs. He’s an exceptional shooter, already hitting threes for Edison. And is a complete PG. Have seen him display passing vision and anticipation beyond his years with some of the dimes he’s dropped. Should thrive by hitting threes to spread the floor and dropping dimes to his athletic Eagle teammates.
