Cole Anthony Shows Out at Pangos East!<\/a><\/p>\nSometimes a player takes control and dominates not so much by his individual talent level and\/or statistics, but by the sheer force of his will and dominant personality. Such was the case for 6-foot-2 sophomore (2019) guard Cole Anthony<\/strong> of Archbishop Malloy (Queens, N.Y.) at the Pangos All-East Frosh\/Soph Camp<\/em> held at the RiverWinds Center (West Deptford, N.J.). Make no mistake about it; the son of former NBA guard Greg Anthony<\/strong> is a high-major talent with plenty of skill and savvy, but he dominates just as much with his physicality, his mental makeup and magnetic personality.<\/p>\nIt's hard to miss Anthony on the court and at times this past weekend, his production and execution matched his already impressive talent-level for an incoming tenth-grader. Even when he wasn't dominant, he still made an impact with his presence and personality. He was the pied piper of an impressive group of talent and should help Malloy be a major factor in the New York's ultra-competitive Catholic League. Anthony was named camp Most Outstanding Player.<\/p>\n
Other sophomores who stood out alongside Anthony were 6-foot-9 power forward Aidan Igiehon<\/strong> of Lawrence Woodmere Academy (N.Y.), 6-foot-10 center Qudus Wahab<\/strong> of Virginia Academy (Ashbury, Va.), 6-foot-9 Abdou Ndiaye<\/strong> of Masters School (Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.), 6-foot-2 Isaiah Wong<\/strong> of Notre Dame (Lawrenceville, N.J.), 6-foot-5 Bryce Willis<\/strong> of Iona Prep (New Rochelle, N.Y.) and last but certainly not least, 6-foot-7 manchild Eric Dixon<\/strong> of Abington (Pa.).<\/p>\nAmong the top freshmen in attendance were 6-foot-6 Jabri Abdur-Rahim<\/strong> of Seton Hall Prep (West Orange, N.J.), 6-foot-3 Quran McPherson<\/strong> of The Patrick School (Elizabeth, N.J.), 6-foot-6 Che Evans<\/strong> of Dulaney (Baltimore, Md.), 6-foot-8 Mikeal Jones <\/strong>of Girard College (Philadelphia) and 6-foot-8 Lance Ware <\/strong>of Life Center (Burlington, N.J.).<\/p>\nThere was also a special eighth-grader in attendance: 6-foot-8 Trey Patterson<\/strong> of Rutgers Prep (Somerset, N.J.). He scored a respectable six points in the Cream of the Crop Top 30 all-star game (reserved for the camp's best players), but the mark he left on the scouts in attendance was indelible.<\/p>\nCream of the Crop Standouts<\/strong><\/p>\nIn an all-star game that was played relatively well considering the environment, the Black Team came away with a 106-99 victory over the White team. Igiehon dominated with power moves inside (10 points, six rebounds) and was named team co-MVP alongside Willis (team-high 15 points). Co-MVPS for the white team were Jones, who scored a game-high 16 points, including two 3-pointers, and 6-foot-7 sophomore (2019) Ismael Massoud<\/strong> of McDuffie (Granby, Mass.). Massoud netted 10 points and used the Cream of the Crop setting to springboard his weekend in the eyes of talent evaluators with his slashing play.<\/p>\nTwo others, both freshmen, who played well in the Cream of the Crop Game and should be considered among the best 2020 prospects in attendance were 6-foot-7 Justin Lewis<\/strong> of Calvert Hall (Baltimore, Md.) and 6-foot-3 Cartier Bowman<\/strong> of Notre Dame (Lawrenceville, N.J.). The duo really impressed veteran evaluator Frank Burlison<\/strong> of BurlisonOnBasketball.com. Both freshmen played for the wining Black club with Lewis scoring nine points and Bowman eight points, respectively.<\/p>\nWe'd also be remiss if we didn't mention 6-foot-2 2020 prospect Lynn Greer III<\/strong> of Roman Catholic (Philadelphia, Pa.). Considered one of the better incoming ninth-graders in the country, he didn't get selected for the Cream of the Crop Games and unfortunately we didn't get a chance to evaluate much of Greer, but based on our past viewings we know he's a major talent.<\/p>\nRonnie Flores is the national Grassroots editor of Ballislife.com.
