It's always exciting to head to the NBPA Top 100 Camp and get a quality, in-depth look at a plethora of the higher end players in the country. I camped out in Orlando for about a week and I got to evaluate a multitude of games in the deepest individual camp in the country. I give a breakdown of the players that made the camp's All-Star Team and evaluate the Camp MVP.<\/strong><\/p>\n NBPA Top 100 MVP<\/em><\/p>\n Cooper Flagg, Montverde Academy (Fla.) 2025 6\u20198 Wing<\/strong> NBPA Top 100 All Star Team<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n A.J.

\nWas the camp MVP as his team won the championship game. Arguably the best player in 2025, Flagg orchestrated a strong week of play, averaging 22 points, nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks a game. He played hard every possession, was a big-time help-side shot blocker and attempted to get any shot that came off the rim. His shooting numbers weren\u2019t the prettiest as we are accustomed to, but he still was able to be productive and ultimately win it all. Cooper is a special talent.<\/p>\n
\nBig-time wing prospect that brings a lot to the table. Long arms and explosive but also has great hang-time. He can score it with length on three levels. Led the camp in scoring, averaging 28 ppg. Physicality gave him some problems at times and that\u2019s normal playing a few grades up, but still very advanced for a player his grade and age. It's hard to imagine him staying in high school for three more years.<\/p>\n
\nCoop or Cam, Cam or Coop. That\u2019s generally the argument of who's No. 1 in the 2025 class, but to me I say just enjoy both for free or paying a grassroots entry fee while we can. Boozer is a strong and skilled front-court player that brings versatility. He was efficient from the field (66 percent), scored inside-out and showed ability to defend out on the perimeter on switches. Averaged 24 ppg, 12 rpg and 3 apg.<\/p>\n
\nAthletic, tough and has improved as a scorer and shooter. Gets downhill to finish with the best of them. Defends with physicality and shows lateral explosion. One of my favorite players to watch in the 2024 class, although he didn't play a majority of the camp games here. Versatile and impacts games in multiple ways.<\/p>\n
\nEnjoyed the progression Quaintance has made in the past year and he really stepped up here. He\u2019s young for his class, so it\u2019ll take time to fulfill his huge ceiling but he has a freakish length which allows him to secure rebounds and block shots. He's also finishing better around the rim. Flashed a promising mid-range jumper that one day will be consistent from three. Was the best big man performer at the camp and was in contention for camp MVP.<\/p>\n
\nThis kid popped out onto the national scene this spring after a strong high school campaign. A confident hybrid guard that can score it in bunches (24.8 ppg). Changes speeds and direction well with the ball in his hands. Even when defenders play the drive, he\u2019ll knock down enough threes to keep the opponent honest. Strong finisher at the rim and perhaps his best asset is he\u2019s a competitor.<\/p>\n
\nA load in the paint. Skilled big man with good passing feel even if it doesn\u2019t show in the assist column all the time. Uses his large frame and terrific footwork to create space with his back to the basket or facing up. Queen finished up the camp averaging an impressive 18 ppg and 10 rpg while shooting 65 percent from the field.<\/p>\n
\nLead guard with good positional size. Balances scoring and passing well. Peterson got to the rim, showcased a nice mid-range pull-up, as he\u2019s a precise passer off the live dribble. Defended on ball well and intercepted the passing lanes (led camp in steals with 2.2 spg). Strong overall stat-line with 15 ppg, 5 rpg, 3 apg, 2.2 spg and a high end motor.<\/p>\n
\nGuard with good positional size as a two-man. Polished offensive game and can make tough shots versus length. Good balance and control when operating off the bounce. Just was smooth in the way he orchestrated his scoring performance as he finished the camp averaging 19 ppg.<\/p>\n
\nHolds a lot of translatable physical tools. Length, size and power stands out as a true 4-man in the mold of former Maryland and NBA standout Buck Williams. Had a very strong output at the camp, averaging 15 ppg, 7.8 rpg on 48 percent shooting.<\/p>\n
\nDisplayed an array of ways to score with his size. Grabbing rebounds and initiating offense as a primary ball handler, he operated comfortably on the wing looking to score. Has an athletic, sturdy frame. It was the best I\u2019ve seen him play in a while and with the size and skill-set, if he can put it all together, he\u2019ll be a big-time mismatch guy at the next level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
