“Bryce Thompson, in my opinion, is hands down the Oklahoma Gatorade Player of the Year. He embodies what coaches want in a kid on and off the court. On the court, he is dynamic in every way, and the most special thing about him is every time we have played them, he has gotten better and added something to his game. He is unstoppable. He is a competitor, he is a leader, and he is respectful and humble. He makes everyone around him better.”
