The Southeast Basketball Academy (SEBA) held their 2011 Atlanta College Showcase on March 26th at Oglethorpe University. The Annual Event, now in its 6th year, has established itself as one of the nation's largest exposure camps for unsigned seniors and post grads looking to receive college scholarships and playing opportunities at the next level. This year's camp featured a bevy of talented and available prospects from Georgia and nine other states. The opportunity for exposure was certainly there for the players, as the Oglethorpe facility was packed with NCAA Division II, III, NAIA, and Junior college coaches throughout the day.
All of the players in attendance participated in skill stations for the first part of the camp. They then progressed to to the scrimmage portion of the camp, where each team played three games throughout the day. The Camp concluded with a Top 30 All-Star Game, as chosen by the scouts and coaches in attendance.
Here is a breakdown of the top performers from the event:
Camp’s Elite Performers (Super 15)
(Note: Players Listed in random order)
Thomas Higginbotham (5’ 10, PG, Brookwood; 2011)
Impressive Point guard with good quickness, tight handle, and the ability to score himself or set the stage for others. Exhibited a very consistent pull up jumper off the dribble. Sees floor well and delivers passes right on the mark. On ball defense is above average. Seems to possess all the qualities which will allow him to competently step up and play the lead guard position at the college level. One of the top guards in talent rich Gwinnett County the past two seasons.
Trevor Berkeley (6’ 6, Wing, Tucker; 2011)
Good looking prospect with ability to score both inside and on the perimeter. Has good three point range and was consistent with jumper throughout the day. Showed ability to clean the boards, especially on offensive end. Legit double-double player on most nights. Strong leadership skills.
Rob Greer (5’ 10, Point Guard, Marietta; 2011)
Quick lead guard with great first step; that and strong build allows him to repeatedly get into the lane off penetration. Was a tough matchup for defenders throughout camp as three point shot was “on” throughout the day. Tough competitor who looks to enjoy being floor general and making big plays for his team when necessary.
Jordan Enadaghe (6’ 3, Shooting Guard, Jonesboro; 2011)
One of the more intriguing prospects in attendance; he has the ability to contribute as an excellent defender and offensive slasher at the next level. Drives baseline really well and gets to the rim quick. Not afraid to attack defensive with athletic drives to the rim. Converted the three pointers he attempted. Has the physical makings to be a lock down defender. Key player in Jonesboro High’s advancement to Georgia AAAA Final Four.
Stantavious Maxwell (6’ 3, Wing, Madison County; 2011)
Very athletic and physically strong wing player who creates his own offense well. Excellent rebounder from the wing position; has very good reactions and quick jump, relentless on offensive glass. Solid mid-range game. Can be terrific defender at college level. Averaged 19 ppg and 13 boards this past season at Madison County.
Arkaylus Thomas (6’ 0, PG, Pearl-Cohn, Tennessee; 2011)
One of the camp’s top overall prospects. Complete Guard with high scoring-playmaking ability. Has athleticism to get to the rack with the ability to also score often from the outside. Has excellent body control and smoothness to his game; plays under control. 1000 point career scorer at Nashville’s Pearl-Cohn High.
Larrentis Thomas (6’4, Wing, Henry County; 2011)
Well rounded and versatile player who had strong senior season (averaged 20 ppg and 10 rpg). Can score in a variety of ways; is most effective around the rim but has pretty good mid-range jumper. Needs to continue to improve range out to three-point area. Runs floor well. Has ability to attack defense and finish with authority. Very active inside and is excellent rebounder for his size.
Daniel Salomon (6’ 8, Forward, Admiral Farragut, Florida; 2011)
Developing Post player with good size and length. Looked comfortable on the low block and facing the basket. Has fairly good agility for his size and touch around the hoop. Blocked a few shots and altered several more while we were observing. Demonstrated good instincts. Will need to put on some weight/strength for next level. Could make for a worthy target for programs looking to sign a big man with upside this spring (especially for higher end academic schools as he has a 3.5 and good test scores).
Fineto "Andy" Lunguana (6’ 2, CG, West Forsyth; 2012)
High potential combo guard, one of the best 2012 players in attendance. Very active and explosive player who gets to rim and utilizes his athleticism and strength to finish consistently. Exhibited good looking shooting stroke from three point range. Can finish above the rim. Very coachable young player with great future.
Zac Hale (6’ 4, SG, Coosa; 2011)
Intriguing prospect at the two guard spot. Jumps very well as evidenced by several emphatic dunks throughout the day (including impressive two hander in traffic on opening play of Top 30 All-Star game). Has nice touch on jumper and knocked down three point shot throughout the day. Looks to be a player who will continue to develop and has much upside.
Larry “LJ” Erves (6’ 4, Wing, Fayette County; 2011)
Athletic and powerful wing that plays with a good motor. Attacks the basket very aggressively on penetration and finishes well. Has the strength to play thru contact and convert shot. Excellent defender with versatility to guard every position at the high school level. Is good at running the lane on the break as well pushing the ball up himself. Further development of jumper will make him into a difficult matchup for opposing defenses.
Dante Campbell (6’ 4, Forward, Stockbridge; 2011)
Wing player with inside-out capability that had a terrific senior season (averaged 23 ppg, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game) on way to numerous honors/awards, including First Team All-State in Georgia’s Class AAA. Campbell is a very effective scorer inside 15 feet and has significantly improved his range out to three point land. Hard nosed defender inside who uses excellent physical strength to control paint. Playing ability combined with Top notch academic credentials (3.8 GPA and 26 ACT score) should make him an attractive target prior to spring signing period.
Cyrus Lavant (6’ 1, CG, North Gwinnett; 2011)
Explosive combo guard with tremendous athleticism. Has scorer’s mentality and prefers to use quick step to drive in the paint and create. Excellent finisher who has the ability to finish way above the rim. Has good court vision. Solid midrange and three point shot. Has all the physical attributes to be a very good guard at the next level. Needs to continue to learn finer points of the lead guard position as well as improve movement without the ball. High upside potential.
Jordan Nelson (6’ 3, Wing, Union Grove; 2011)
Athletic wing prospect that has significantly improved his skillset and consistently added to his offensive repertoire over the past 18 months. Was previously reliant on natural athleticism to produce on the offensive end. However, has developed a good looking pull up jumper to compliment ever improving ball handling skills. Very effective attacking the rim and either converting shot or drawing foul. Will be able to defend a variety of positions and players at the next level. Excellent rebounder from guard spot. Very coachable; 3.4 GPA and 23 ACT score.
Corbyn Moye (6’ 2 Winchendon Prep, Massachusetts; 2011)
Guard prospect with college ready game and body; has used year of Prep School to fine tune his game and has improved significantly. Showed out as one of the top overall guards in attendance, he is a solid all-around guard with good handle, excellent passing skills, and ability to put points on the board. Very good mid-range shooter. Demonstrated quarterback mentality and floor leadership. Plays with intensity and enthusiasm for the game.
