About Oliver
Expert Analysis
Max Wagner | Prep Hoops Scout
Oliver is such a difficult matchup at the 15u level. He’s too strong for most guards to handle in the paint, but if you defend him with a forward they typically can’t move their feet with him. Groves shows flashes of his older brother Nolan around the basket, playing off two feet and keeping a strong and balanced base as he uses strength and footwork to find ways to convert around the rim. Oliver showed the ability to finish with either hand, and just has a nose for getting to the basket for high percentage looks.

Oliver took over in a hard fought win over Mpls Hustlers on Friday night. He was the go-to guy down the stretch and wanted the ball to be in his hands. He is a reliable ball handling option and great decision maker, playing off of two feet under control. He did his scoring damage around the rim, as he was tough to stop from getting downhill in transition and in the half-court. Oliver also had some great cuts to the basket and played excellent defense on the top player in his class.
