ATLANTA – BrandonClayScouting.com is designed to give both college coaches and fans alike an in-depth look at some of the nation’s top prospects. Nike EYBL play is a perfect stage to gauge the talent level of elite preps. The Session IV stop was no different. Here are some of the notable players from the event:

By: @BrandonClayPSB


Troy Brown | 6’5” | Las Vegas Prospects | Class of 2017

Brown will push the ball in transition. He has gotten strong enough to take the bump and still make a play around the rim. He’s averaging 15.9 points a game though shooting under 30% from beyond the arc. I see him as a scoring guard long term with the ability to handle when need be. He’s an elite rebounder at the guard position grabbing 8.8 per game.

Charles O’Bannon | 6’5” | Las Vegas Prospects | Class of 2017

O’Bannon scores it in every way possible averaging 20.6 points per contest. He hits the 3-pointer at a 40% clip and will attack the rim. That said, he only scores at a 41% clip from the field, 73 percent from the free throw line. Those are areas he can improve on. He rebounds well for his position grabbing 5 per.

Marcus Santos-Silva | 6’7” | BABC | Class of 2017

Santos-Silva is a skilled option at the post position. He can be a combo post averaging 12.5 points, 9.2 rebounds in EYBL play. His ability to score the ball even though he’s a below the rim guy is impressive.

Cole Swider | 6’7” | BABC | Class of 2018

Swider is a shooter with good size on the perimeter. He’s averaging right at 10 points a game while shooting 40% from 3-point range. He’s got a moxy to take the open shot anytime he has a clean look.
