The second session of the 2019 Nike Elite Youth Basketball League has concluded, and several prospects used the platform to increase their individual stock.

Check out Indianapolis' Breakout Performers below and check back for the remaining All-Indy Awards.

Reece Beekman - Phenom University (WI)

EYBL Indy Averages:
8.5 PPG, 50.0 FG% (13-26), 4-4 FT, 4-7 3PT
4.0 RPG
8.0 APG
.8 TOPG
1.5 SPG

Reece Beekman (247 4-star) narrowly missed out on Breakout Performer of the Session, and it might be because he was TOO unselfish. Phenom obliterated the competition in Indianapolis, winning all four of their games by an average of 28 points per game. Beekman racked up 32 assists while only turning the ball over three times, good for a nearly 11-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Phenom has some truly special team chemistry, and if Beekman keeps distributing as he did in Indianapolis, they are one of the toughest 'outs' in the country.

Andre Jackson was terrific in Indianapolis, and he very well could be playing the best basketball of his young career. Jackson was constantly attacking and slashing through the defense, and his shooting percentages (58.5%) prove that he was doing with it a high level of effectiveness. Jackson (247 4-star) also showed off his defensive chops, as the undersized City Rocks have turned to him to cover bigger and more athletic frontcourt options. Jackson had a great all-around showing during session two, and if can get his free throw stroke straightened out, the Albany Academy (NY) product should put up some major numbers moving forward.

Drive Nation picked up their first two wins of the season in Indianapolis, and they wouldn't have occurred without Jamal Shead. The undersized lead guard was in-sync with his teammates offensively, dishing out 8.5 assists per game while leading an efficient offense. Shead was also dynamite on the defensive side of things for head coach Jermaine O'Neal and company, tallying 15 steals over four games (3.8 SPG)

Mark Sears - Alabama Fusion

Mark Sears was solid during the season's opening session in Atlanta, but he took his game to another level in Indianapolis. Sears shot 57 percent from the floor while adding five rebounds and four assists per game. Sears does a terrific job of getting his teammates involved and he's a super-dependable ball-handler. Sears' presence in the Fusion starting lineup makes them a formidable opponent against anyone in the league, and if he continues to produce at this rate, the 6-2 Fusion will be legitimate Peach Jam contenders.

Collin Moore is in his second year on the circuit, and he looked more comfortable than ever in Indianapolis. Woodz Elite racked up a 4-0 record partly in thanks to Moore's contributions. The 6-foot-4 combo guard was a force on defense, averaging 2.3 steals per contest while consistently locking down the opposition's biggest scoring threats. Moore's emergence is huge for Woodz Elite, and they will hold a very high team ranking heading into Dallas.

Jakobe Coles - Texas Titans

Cade Cunningham and Greg Brown III combine to make one of the best duos on the circuit. With the way Jakobe Coles has been playing, we might be looking at a three-headed monster. Coles plays his role perfectly for the Titans, and his ability to efficiently score (56.5 FG%) in Indy was eye-opening. The 6-foot-7 big man was in double-figures all weekend, and his production only adds to the headache that the Titans are giving their opposition.

Devan Cambridge joined AOT in Indianapolis, and the Tennessee-native prepping at Hillcrest Prep (AZ) made an instant impact for the Rebels. Cambridge averaged 14.3 points over four contests while shooting a blistering 64.1 percent from the floor. He consistently displayed his versatility, blocking six shots on defense while running comfortably running the floor alongside his new teammates. Cambridge is a major weapon for AOT, and he doesn't need to have the ball in his hands in order to be effective.

Dylan Cardwell stepped up big time for AOT in Indianapolis. The 6-foot-10 Oak Hill Academy (VA) product is the only true big man on AOT's roster, and Cardwell responded positively to the increased workload. Cardwell narrowly missed out on Defensive Player of the Session honors after swatting 16 shots in Indy, and if he continues to produce at a high level, AOT becomes a real problem for the rest of the league.

Shakeel Moore probably should have made this team a session ago, and he continued his impressive individual play in Indy. The 6-foot-1 floor general saved his best for last during session two, putting up 25 points, four rebounds, and three assists in a narrow 1-point loss to Team Melo. CP3 has struggled throughout the 2019 EYBL campaign, but Moore has definitely been a bright spot.

Houston Hoops has been riddled with injuries all season, and Antwon Norman has been picking up the slack. The 6-foot lead guard was in double-figures in all four games and his defense was on point. Norman notched nine steals over four games, proving to be an effective on-ball defender in the Hoops' up-tempo system.

6-foot-8 Kendall Munson used the first session to get accustomed to the speed and athleticism of the EYBL, and he responded in a big way in Indianapolis. The junior averaged 13 points and eight boards for Rotary, forming quite the frontcourt duo with 2021 star Paolo Banchero.

Quest Harris found his individual groove in Indianapolis, racking up 26 assists over four games while scoring 15.5 points per contest. Harris had his best performance against Boston rival Expressions Elite, racking up 23 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and two steals in a loss.
