Cleanthony Early Drafted by NY Knicks

SEBA Alum Cleanthony Early was selected with the 34th pick by the New York Knicks in the 2014 NBA Draft.  The native of the Bronx will be living his dreams, as he returns home to play for the hometown team in Madison Square Garden. Cleanthony came down to Atlanta from New York in the Spring of his Senior year to compete in the 2009 SEBA Atlanta College Showcase Camp. He had a strong performance and was named one of the camp's top performers and made the All-Star team.

Cleanthony had a fantastic senior season at Wichita state, where he averaged 16.4 points and 6 rebounds while leading the Shockers to a perfect 34-0 regular season record. He played even better during the NCAA Tournament, averaging 27 points on 65.6 percent shooting from the field. He was named 2nd team All-American as a Senior and 1st Team All-MVC. As a Junior, he led Wichita State to the 2013 Final Four in Atlanta, where he scored 24 points and pulled down 10 rebounds in a narrow Semi-Final loss to eventual National Champ Louisville. Many NBA insiders consider Early to be one of the top "sleepers" in the Draft and a possible immediate  impact player for the Knicks next season. He will be suiting up for Knicks in the NBA Summer league which begins July 11th.

Congrats Cleanthony!!

Top 20 Highlight Video - 2013 SEBA Hoop Festival

Here is a Top 20 Countdown Video presenting the best highlights from the SEBA Atlanta Hoop Festival played on December 21, 2013 at Pope High School.    

SEBA Players Play Major Role in Oglethorpe's Strong Start

Oglethorpe University is off to a very impressive 11-1 start this 2013-14 season. Despite having a very young team, OU has compiled the best start in the school's long and accomplished basketball history. The Petrels, coached by Phil Ponder, are currently receiving consideration in the NCAA national rankings and are listed as the nation's #29 team in the D3Hoops National poll. 

Oglethorpe recently earned two big victories to win the Country Inn and Suites Holiday Classic played on Dec. 29th and 30th. One of these wins was against a strong Stevenson University team which entered the game at 9-1.

The Oglethorpe roster has a strong Southeast Basketball Academy (SEBA) connection, as seven (7) players on the roster are alumni of either SEBA Exposure Camps and/or training programs. This includes starting Junior Forward Jordan Kinney from Harrison High School (9.4 ppg, 5 rebounds); Freshman guard Connor Smith from St. Francis (8 ppg) and Alex Davis from Pace Academy (9 ppg and team leading 3.2 assists). Freshmen Will Perry (Centennial) and Forward Connor Sigrist (Greenbrier) have been contributing valuable minutes off the bench in their rookie season for the Petrels. Reserves Joe Marco (Mt. Pisgah) and Sean Overstreet (Jacksonville Episcopal) have added depth on the perimeter. 

We look forward to following all of the Petrel's success as they enter into the heart of the Southern Athletic Association (SAA) Conference schedule this weekend. The Petrels travel to Arkansas this Friday to play Hendrix College and then will travel to Memphis to take on a tough Rhodes College team on Sunday.
