Cole Anthony


Team: PSA Cardinals (NY)
Record: 2-2 (8-8 overall)

EYBL Hampton stats: 31.0 PPG, 48.8 FG%, 85.7 FT%, 50.0 3PT%, 8.8 RPG, 3.3 APG, 1.8 SPG
Full season stats

Game 1: 31 PTS (10-16 FG, 10-10 FT), 14 REB, 4 AST, 0 STL
Game 2: 33 PTS (10-22 FG, 7-14 3PT), 6 REB, 2 AST, 0 STL
Game 3: 38 PTS (11-19 FG, 11-12 FT, 5-9 3PT), 9 REB, 2 AST, 3 STL
Game 4: 22 PTS (7-22 FG), 6 REB, 5 AST, 4 STL

Just when we think Cole Anthony can't get any better, he proves us wrong. The 6-foot-3 point guard went off in Hampton, averaging 31.0 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. Anthony single-handedly willed PSA to the Peach Jam, guiding them to two Hampton wins and an 8-8 record for the season. Anthony's shot-making ability has done wonders for his overall effectiveness, and his 50% average from behind-the-arc was tops in session four. Anthony is worth the price of admission, and is arguably the most productive player in the 2019 class.

Sharife Cooper


Team: AOT Running Rebels (GA)
Record: 3-1 (13-3 overall)

EYBL Hampton stats: 26.3 PPG, 47.5 FG%, 16-17 FT, 39.3 3PT%, 7.5 APG, 5.0 RPG, 1.5 SPG
Full season stats

Game 1: 30 PTS (12-25 FG), 7 AST, 5 REB, STL 2 3PTM
Game 2: 27 PTS (8-18 FG), 6 AST, 5 REB, 0 STL, 4 3PTM
Game 3: 30 PTS (13-23 FG), 7 AST, 6 REB, 4 STL, 3 3PTM
Game 4: 18 PTS (6-16 FG), 10 AST, 4 REB, STL, 2 3PTM

Sharife Cooper took home Offensive Player of the Session in Hampton, recording averages of 26.3 points, 7.5 assists and 5.0 rebounds. Cooper shot 47.5 percent from the floor, and hit 16 of his 17 free throw attempts. Watching Cooper run the break is a thing of beauty, and he's only getting better in halfcourt situations. There isn't a more productive guard in the 2020 class, and we expect Cooper to skyrocket up the individual player rankings when they're updated. Cooper put up the best numbers of any underclassmen on the circuit, and most importantly, it translated into the most important statistical category; wins.

Wendell Moore


Team: Team CP3 (NC)
Record: 4-0 (13-3 overall)

EYBL Hampton stats: 18.5 PPG, 52.2 FG%, 24-26 FT, 7.0 RPG, 4.5 APG, 1.5 BPG, 1.5 SPG
Full season stats

Game 1: 16 PTS (4-12 FG), 4 REB, 4 AST, STL, BLK
Game 2: 21 PTS (7-14 FG), 8 REB, 6 AST, 3 STL, 3 BLK
Game 3: 23 PTS (7-12 FG), 11 REB, 3 AST, 2 BLK
Game 4: 14 PTS (6-8 FG), 5 REB, 5 AST, 2 STL

Wendell Moore finished off his incredibly consistent 2018 campaign with an undefeated showing, and racked up some impressive numbers in the process. Moore is as steady as stars come, and holds a strong ability to impact the game without scoring. Team CP3 would be lost without their junior star, and he'll lead them in their defense of E16 Peach Jam title they won last July. Moore is basically a lock to get you 15-20 points and 6-10 rebounds in any given game, and has proven to be a certified winner during his grassroots basketball career with CP3.

CJ Walker


Team: E1T1 United (FL)
Record: 2-2 (8-8 overall)

EYBL Hampton stats: 19.2 PPG, 52.5 FG%, 12.3 RPG, 3.3 BPG
Full season stats

Game 1: 20 PTS (8-18 FG), 16 REB, AST, 5 BLK
Game 2: 17 PTS (8-13 FG), 12 REB, 2 AST, 5 BLK
Game 3: 14 PTS (6-10 FG), 8 REB
Game 4: 26 PTS (10-20 FG), 13 REB, 4 REB, 2 STL, 3 BLK

CJ Walker played out of his mind in Hampton, recording averages of 19.2 points and 12.3 rebounds while helping E1T1 to two wins - and a Peach Jam bid. The 6-foot-8 Walker is a tremendous athlete, using his length and leaping ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. Walker blocked 10 shots in the first two games, and averaged 3.3 blocks per game for the session. Walker's play helped E1T1 secure a bid to Peach Jam, and cemented his status as one of the top forwards in 2019. He's not a back-to-back-to-back State Championship Game MVP for no reason, and the basketball world saw him at his best in Hampton.

Kofi Cockburn


Team: Renaissance (NY)
Record: 3-1 (8-8 overall)

EYBL Hampton stats: 18.0 PPG, 53.3 FG%, 13.3 RPG
Full season stats

Game 1: 11 PTS (4-8 FG), 10 REB, AST
Game 2: 22 PTS (11-15 FG), 14 REB
Game 3: 17 PTS (6-14 FG), 15 REB, STL
Game 4: 22 PTS (11-17 FG), 14 REB, AST

The Renaissance (NY) won three games in Hampton and qualified for Peach Jam, and that wouldn't have happened without their star big man Kofi Cockburn. The 6-foot-11 center had two 22-point, 14-rebound games, en route to averaging 18.0 points and 13.3 rebounds. Cockburn is highly valuable on the defensive end as well, and did a terrific job of staying out of foul trouble during session four. The Renaissance are an extremely talented bunch, and if Cockburn is producing like this, they'll be a dangerous lower seed in July.
