The Invitational - First, Second, and Third All-Camp Teams
Robert Yanders has made his selections for The Basketball Movement Invitational 2020’s All-Camp Teams.
With another successful Invitational Camp in the books, Robert Yanders is releasing his selections for the weekend’s First, Second, and Third All-Camp Teams. The selections are weighted most heavily by game action, but effort given throughout the course of the entire weekend was taken into consideration.
Once again, the level of talent, competition, and effort were high all weekend long, making these picks difficult. Below are Yanders’ selections, starting with the First Team:
First Team All-Camp
Anton Brookshire - The camp’s MVP, Mizzou commit, Anton Brookshire lit it up when the lights were brightest. He came alive when the games started and was the driving force of the weekend’s winningest team. His scoring always impresses, but his playmaking ability has taken notable strides and he looks like a complete PG.
David Joplin - David Joplin has committed to the storied program at Texas and proved why he belongs on the high-profile team. Joplin is a bruiser that was getting everything he wanted down low during The Invitational, but he also showed the quickness and outside touch necessary to thrive at the next level.
Jordan Nesbitt - Every player on the First Team had an argument to garner MVP honors. For Nesbitt, it was his complete lack of fear and punishing offensive play that pushed him into the conversation. Nesbitt has committed to continue playing at Memphis. Yanders and The Basketball Movement are proud to have hosted such a tough, hard-nosed competitor.
Nicholas Kern - Another intense competitor, Nick Kern of Vashon has not committed to a university yet, but will be a big get for any major program as his stock rapidly climbs. Kern has great length and can keep the ball on a string until he spies his moment to attack the cup or pull up for a fader that spells pro potential.
Tyrese Hunter - Iowa State commit, Tyrese Hunter was easily one of the most impressive athletes at The Invitational this year. At 6’1”, he nearly stole the dunk contest crown. He dazzled all weekend long by showing off his speed and bounce, all while knocking down perimeter looks with the best of them.
Second Team All-Camp
Isaac Haney - In previous years, Missouri State commit, Isaac Haney would catch defenders off-guard at this camp and rack up points in a hurry. This year, everyone knew he was coming, but he still got buckets. One of the most underrated scoring guards in the Midwest, Haney puts his flawless jumper to use from NBA range all the way to the paint.
Keshon Gilbert - Keshon Gilbert is a UNLV commit from Las Vegas with an explosive approach to scoring the basketball. Quickness and excellent body control allow him the ability to finish in creative ways around the hoop to compliment his nice jumper.
Trevon Brazile - If you didn’t know, now you know. The cat is out of the bag - Mizzou-bound, Trevon Brazile is one of the most exciting prospects in this part of the country, recently growing to 6’8” while maintaining his touch, athleticism, and drive to improve. He won The Invitational’s Dunk Contest and continued playing above everyone else all weekend. Kid’s scary.
Jonathan Dunn - Western Illinois has locked up a player with huge upside in Jonathan Dunn. Taking big jumps recently, Dunn is beginning to really shine on the court with his great size and athleticism. He punished the rims at The Invitational but also showed that he had other ways to get it going - displaying a soft touch in the paint.
Kobe Johnson - Committed to play at USC next year, Kobe Johnson was one of the most complete guards at The Invitational this year. Johnson is already able to shoot, pass, handle, and defend at a level necessary for college ball. He has the potential to be special.
Third Team All-Camp
Cameron Liggins - Recently announcing that he would be reclassifying into the 2022 class, Cam Liggins was a raw prospect a couple of years ago. He has already begun to turn into a player that can take control of games on the offensive end and his defense is coming along too, as he continues to sharpen his skills and take advantage of his athletic frame.
Tre’Von Love - Tre’Von Love is another Vashon stand-out with a deep bag. He has a tough nature and is solid as can be with the rock in his hands. A quick first step and a gamer mentality helped him shine over the weekend in our dog-eat-dog atmosphere.
Zach Howell - The winner of The Invitational’s Three-Point Contest, Zach Howell was lights out from the get-go. He had one of the most consistent outside shots all weekend, but also kept defenders honest by flashing his ability to put the ball on the floor and drive. His arrow is pointed straight up.
Jeffery Brazziel - 2022 Jefferey Brazziel is another player that has added great size and displays all the tools needed to compete at the next level. He boasts offers from Auburn, Georgetown, Arizona State, and more. At The Invitational, he showed prowess at both ends of the floor and has no glaring weakness.
Danilo Jovanovich - 2022 Phenom University - Team Herro’s Danilo Jovanovich was one of the most pleasant surprises at The Invitational. He has a mature offensive game that reminds a bit of a young Dirk Nowitzki. His bag is deep in the paint, but he also displayed the ability to stretch the floor. He is another player that is definitely on the rise.
