North Carolina EYBL Notebook: 15u Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Nike EYBL had their first session in Atlanta, Georgia at the end of April with many of North Carolina's top prospects in attendance for their respective teams. Let's spend our first article highlighting the 15u standouts from last weekend in Atlanta!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3484998"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f8e488b909c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Duggins is a supremely gifted forward prospect for [program_tooltip program_id='2226228' first='Team' last='CP3'] 15u EYBL and his full game was on display in Atlanta as he helped lead his team to a 4-0 record on the weekend. Through the four games, Duggins averaged 17.5 Points, 9.5 Rebounds, 1.8 Assists, 1.3 Steals, and 1.5 Blocks on 59/42/71 shooting splits. Special numbers for a special player that seems to generate a high quality look for himself or a teammate every time he touches the basketball. Duggins is building real pedigree fast while showing continued growth in his overall game as he's a high level athlete with incredible feel for the game as a front-court piece. He's got legit outside touch and is starting to add on the necessary strength to deal with more physical post players. Duggins is a special prospect and this past weekend was symbolic of that. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2941182"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f8e488b90d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Greenup is running with [program_tooltip program_id='2220892' first='Team' last='United'] 15u EYBL and brings a lot to the table as a physical guard with two way ability. [program_tooltip program_id='2220892' first='Team' last='United'] finished 1-3 on the weekend with some narrow defeats but Greenup was one of their true bright spots. He averaged 13.3 Points, 6.5 Rebounds, 1.0 Assists, 1.0 Steals, and 0.5 Blocks per game on 39/20/79 shooting splits. Greenup's motor and all around impact are very apparent when watching him and as he continues to progress in his overall skill level, his efficiency numbers will rise back to where they need to. Greenup is a true mismatch at this level and should continue to be a major focal point for this [program_tooltip program_id='2220892' first='Team' last='United'] 15u team all summer long.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3626173"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f8e488b90f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas had a really productive weekend for [program_tooltip program_id='2226228' first='Team' last='CP3'] 15u EYBL and as expected showed that his game translates very well when the level of competition picks up. For this undefeated team, Thomas averaged 11.0 Points, 4.3 Rebounds, and 1.0 Assists per game on 47/33/67 shooting splits. Thomas is showing the ability to gel with other high level players while still showcasing his game within the winning structure this team has set for themselves. He's got a very refined off the bounce game in the mid-range for a player of his size/age and is still coming into his own physically as he adds strength. Thomas plays above the rim consistently and provides this team with a versatile option on the wing. Look for him to be a key piece for this Peach Jam contending group all season long. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3447414"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f8e488b9119"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chaney had a really special Freshman season at Charlotte Latin and is looking to carry that momentum over for [program_tooltip program_id='2220892' first='Team' last='United'] 15u EYBL. For session one, Chaney averaged. 11.0 Points, 2.5 Rebounds, 2.3 Assists, and 1.3 Steals per game on 43/30/92 shooting splits. Chaney's ability to help run a team along with being a scorer that can take a game over is truly impressive to watch every time we see him. Chaney will be looking to help get [program_tooltip program_id='2220892' first='Team' last='United'] more success in the W/L column next session as he now has some EYBL experience under his belt. Chaney will be a name we talk about in North Carolina for quite some time and this past weekend is just the beginning for him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3574553"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f8e488b9137"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cannon continued to showcase his all around game with [program_tooltip program_id='2226228' first='Team' last='CP3'] 15u EYBL as he helped guide his team to a 4-0 weekend. Cannon averaged 9.0 Points, 6.3 Rebounds, and 1.5 Assists per game on 38/38/58 shooting splits for session one. Cannon's length, athleticism, and outside touch are the calling cards in his game at this point and continues to progress in his off the bounce game in the half-court. To be as well rounded as he is with the physical gifts he possesses at this stage are really impressive and worth noting as he's a prospect to watch closely moving forward. Cannon's work with Ben L Smith as a freshman and early returns from EYBL session one with CP3 are certainly a sign of things to come. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2464610"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f8e488b9156"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miles is a physical mismatch forward that provided a great option in the front-court for his reclassed freshman season at TBS and looks to bring more of the same to [program_tooltip program_id='2220892' first='Team' last='United'] 15u EYBL. In session one, Miles averaged 7.5 Points, 5.3 Rebounds, 0.8 Assists, 1.3 Steals, and 0.8 Blocks per game with 38/50/64 shooting splits on the weekend. Miles uses his strong frame to carve out space on the glass and secure extra possessions for his team. He'll typically shoot a higher percentage from the floor but with a larger sample size I'm sure that will go up. He made one of his two three's on the weekend as well, and it will be interesting to see how he shoots the ball from distance over the course of the EYBL year. Miles is a great option in the front-court for this team and he'll look to up his production to help this team get more wins next session. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
