Julius Wilson was also a key contributor, adding to the team’s depth with his all-around game.

2027 guard @DallasLowe2027 is a shifty scorer off the bounce. He also shot it well as a catch and shoot threat for @Legyndseybl's 16U squad in Memphis. Lowe's advanced skillset makes him one of the better scorers in #okpreps pic.twitter.com/gjBWReth8k

It's fitting that Tim Duffie brought the popcorn, because his son, 2027 guard @memphisduffie shot 50% from three with @Legyndseybl's 16U team over the weekend.
The younger Duffie is one of the best shooters in Oklahoma. pic.twitter.com/wpc0RNF3MF— OKHoopsVideo (@OKHoopsReport) May 19, 2025
Brennan Malone was another standout from the weekend for 16U.

Class of 2029 (Legynds EYBL) Timothy Young knocks down shots easily from deep, changes gears well off the bounce, crafty, makes tremendous reads, knows how to elevate the level of play of all his teammates, outthinks his defenders and skilled finisher. @Legyndseybl
