<p>A bigger guard/wing was the camp most outstanding player (MOP). He scored it every way with off the dribble threes, floaters, euro steps, dunks way above the rim, offensive rebound put backs and he is a sneaky good passer. He also rebounds the ball at high clip with his length, size and bounce. He was 3rd overall in ppg with 27 and 3rd in rebounds with 10.7. </p>

<p>A versatile wing forward does a little bit of everything. He will score with cuts off the ball, hook shots inside with good hands, take the ball off the glass and go coast to coast, get downhill with his long strides and make plays as a top end passer for positon plus defend. He backed it up with his all-around stat line with 7th best in blocks with 2 per game, 34th best scorer at 12.3ppg, 21st best rebounder at 6 per game and 31st in assists with 2 per game. </p>

<p>One of the top guards at the camp was a steady player with 5th most points ppg at 23.3, 7th most rebounds at 8.3, #1 in assists at 4 per game and 7th in steals per game at 3. He manages to get to his spots with his tight handle and plays the game with a next level pace. He will score with threes, dunks and mid-range pull-ups. He gets to the basket fairly easily with his speed with the ball and delivers the dime. </p>

<p>A long wing forward can score it from inside and out. He will get downhill with his left hand and and take very long strides to the basket. He will shoot the three with range off the catch or pull-up and euro step down the lane. He collects steals and will go coast to coast. </p>

<p>A quick point guard who can also score is a newcomer for me. He will collect steals with quick feet and hands and is a good rebounder for a guard and finds teammates in stride for assists. He will score with hesitations to the basket, rises up from mid-range, hit the three and puts pressure on the defense to get to the basket with a burst of speed and will finish with either hand in traffic. </p>

<p>The Co-MVP for the Top-30 Cream of the Crop game was Harlem. He went on his own personal run showing off his skill from deep. He scored 22 points with 6 triples impressively. His ability to create separation is impressive. He gets to his spots so effortlessly and will score with pull-up threes, floaters, dunks on the break, tough layups and then still manage to drive and kick and make plays. He was 23rd best at scoring with 13.3ppg and broke out in the all-star game. </p>

<p>A strong and hyper athletic combo guard was one of the best on-ball defenders in attendance. He was #1 at the camp in steals at 4 per game plus 17th overall with 17.6ppg. He will move the ball to make players around him better but is wired to score. He is another who can get to his spots with his handle and will hit the three, get downhill better then most and plays way above the rim. He will collect steals in bunches and blocks shots. </p>
