Several players made an impact for some of the state's top teams

Though the high school boys basketball season in Oklahoma just ended, there are still some players worthy of being recognized. 

Earlier, we listed several of the top point guards in the state, as well as taking a look at some of the premier shooting guards.

Now, we take a look at some of the top posts and wing players this season. 

There are hundreds of standout boys basketball players in Oklahoma, and these lists are not intended to be comprehensive. If you know of any other post/wing players worthy of fans’ attention in 2023-24, let us know.

Here is the list, in no particular order:

Jalen Montonati, 6-7, So., Owasso

He is one of the best basketball players in the state and is just a sophomore. He is a five star and averages 25 points per game. He is clutch and can get a bucket at anytime, as he hit a buzzer beater 3-pointer over Dale to advance the Rams to the championship game of the Tournament of Champions back in December. Recently, he helped deliver the Rams their first-ever state title, scoring 34 points as Owasso dethroned two-time champ Edmond North in overtime.
