Buckeye Classic Top Performers

Logan Wolfenbarker (2026) 6’4 SF    Buckeye Storm/McDermott Northwest
Wolfenbarker possesses great size for a wing/SG. Quick trigger and made some contested shots free throw line extended. Has evolved from catch-and-shoot to a more creative shot maker and creator with the ball in hands.

Arness Lawson (2025) 6’2 PG    All Ohio Red EYBL/Pickerington North
Lawson has taken some massive strides from the last time I saw him with Pick North in the Winter. Catches your eye right away with his elite vertical play above the rim. Seemingly hovers in the air. Sees the open floor in transition and advanced the ball off turnovers. Slashed well in the halfcourt and draw defenses in and kick to shooters on the perimeter.

Tyler Kropp (2025) 6’8 PF    All Ohio Red EYBL/Olentangy Liberty
Kropp is another player that has made strides since seeing him in the Winter. Mobility has improved as is his perimeter defense. Developing into a true inside-out option with both his range and post play. Shoots well enough to force defenders to give a hand, and too strong with back to the basket. Either used post move to finish in traffic, or get into fadeaway low post shot.

Damon Griffin (2025) 6’0 PG    Quality Sports Academy/Reynoldsburg
Griffin was a problem in the backcourt for QSA against Midwest Pumas-Gold. Combines quickness with the ball in hand with advanced athleticism and shifty with his movements to be a tough player to defend. Specifically utilized his crossover and handle to get into jump shots; beating most defenders to get a hand on him.
