The 2015 Pangos All-American Camp concluded on Sunday with the Cream of the Crop All-Star games and it wasn't just the MVP's who make an impact on the game. Mustapha Heron and Rawle Alkins joined a distinguished list of Pangos Campers to be named Most Outstanding Player. The shooting guards were named co-MOPs of this year's event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The theme at this year's Pangos All-American Camp<\/em> was parity. In terms of national talent, it was one of the deepest camps in the event's 13-year history. While there wasn't a top five 2016 national prospect that used the nation's top independent showcase camp to solidify his national ranking (as has been the case in recent years), there was a plethora of Top 35-80 types that helped their national profile over the three-day event.<\/p>\n

When the dust settled, the player that immediately put his imprint on every camp game he played, along with the one who arguably was the most consistent throughout, were named Pangos Camp co-MOPs.<\/p>\n

The impactful player was 6-foot-5 shooting guard Mustapha Heron<\/strong> of Sacred Heart (Waterbury, Conn.). With the physical nature to his offensive attack, defenders were at Heron's mercy all weekend, as he scored at will around the basket and overpowered bigger, secondary defenders. Heron, a senior-to-be, needs to improve his shooting consistency and flat trajectory, but there is no denying his impact on the game. The most skillful shooting guard was 6-foot-5 Rawle Alkins<\/strong> of Christ the King (Middle Village, N.Y.). The powerful New Yorker can score, and potentially dominate, inside, outside, in the half court or in transition.<\/p>\n

In the Pangos Camp Cream of the Crop Top 30 game for the event's best players, Heron scored a game-high 20 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the field. He also had five rebounds and made 9-of-10 free throws. Alkins, like Heron a member of the 2016 class, dominated the first half as his Gray team rolled to a 94-87 victory over the Blue team. Alkins finished with 15 points on 7-of-11 shooting in one half of play before he had to leave to catch his flight back home.<\/p>\n

\"The top players, we kind of all know each other; I haven't seen Rawle play like that, but he's the real deal,\" said Top 30 game team MVP Trae Young<\/strong> of Norman (Norman, Okla.).<\/p>\n
