Elite Floor Generals, Top Bigs Boast Nike EYBL All-Session IV Team Honors
The top prospects from Nike EYBL Session IV at Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, CA.
Nobody said it would be easy. The Nike EYBL is a serious grind. Although this past weekend's Session IV was the end of the 16-game regular season, there were plenty of prospects who showed no signs of fatigue or letup. Needless to say, it was harder to cut the list than add.
The showcase at Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, CA, was just further proof of the strength of the next generation of hoopers.
Darius Garland -- Bradley Beal Elite (MO) -- 2018 Flo40 No. 9
Session IV Statistics: 16.0 ppg., 3.5 rpg., 4.5 apg.
Team Record: 4-0
The stats might not show too much, but the games and victories certainly do the talking. Garland's impact is truly hard to measure in full, yet it is why his squad finished atop a crazy division with six teams reaching the 10-win mark. The 6-foot-1 floor general is a competitor, a winner, and continuously makes the players around him better. He's also a strong shooter and can finish around the rim. There's no doubt Garland is one of the best players in the league, and Session IV only added on to his already impressive resume.
Marcus Zegarowski -- Expressions Elite (MA)
Session IV Statistics: 17.8 ppg., 4.8 rpg., 4.8 apg.
Team Record: 4-0
How can anyone leave off a player from the EYBL's hottest team here? Expressions Elite's run over the last two sessions has been crazy, and it gives the team plenty of fire heading into the postseason. A good spark to all of that has been the play of Zegarowski. The 6-foot-1 floor general is straight fearless, and watching him fill it up in Session IV was incredibly fun.
Coby White -- Team CP3 (NC)
Session IV Statistics: 22.8 ppg., 5.3 rpg., 3.8 apg.
Team Record: 3-1
White has never been in the Flo40 rankings. That will obviously change soon. The way he has balanced his duties of being both the primary scorer and playmaker for Team CP3 has been too good to ignore. The North Carolina commit keeps getting better, too, and that's scary considering the level he has balled at all spring long.
Marvin Bagley III -- Nike Phamily (AZ) -- 2018 Flo40 No. 1
Session IV Statistics: 27.8 ppg., 15.3 rpg., 3.3 bpg.
Team Record: 2-2
Whoa. What more can you say? The nation's best player had one of those sessions to remember, and the numbers prove his dominance. Simply put, the 6-foot-10 Bagley was sensational. Whether it was dunking it over double teams or showcasing his smooth stroke from the outside, he did it loudly. Most importantly, it got Nike Phamily its first two wins of the season.
Bol Bol - California Supreme (CA) -- 2018 Flo40 No. 17
Session IV Statistics: 20.5 ppg., 10.3 rpg., 5.5 bpg.
Team Record: 4-0
When will players learn not to challenge this 7-foot-1 center around the rim? Bol Bol dominated the paint better than any player in Session IV and still had time to showcase his skills from behind the arc. There's no doubt Bol is for real, and his stock continues to rise while headlining arguably the best team in the league.
