The senior guard has one of the better mid-range games in Oklahoma, with a reliable turn around in the 8-12 feet that often leaves defenders guessing.  He leaned into that in the second half and consistently hit big buckets that kept the Cyclones challenging the Class 6A Antlers.  Buckingham’s finishing around the basket and against contact could’ve been better. But he was a consistent battler, who showed some pop when high pointing rebounds on both ends of the court.  His ability to grab it and push it, where he has sneaky good vision is a great transition trait.
