THE STARTING FIVE

Why is he a starter?: The camp leader in both points and rebounds, Shittu was the Alpha dog competitor in Charlottesville. He scored at the rim, in transition and was too much for anybody to stop in the paint.

Recruitment: Oregon, Syracuse, Texas, Connecticut, Vanderbilt, Michigan and many others are involved.

Why is he a starter?: From beginning to end, there wasn't a better point guard at the NBPA Top 100 Camp. He can score, is a gamer and sets himself and teammates up with a high level of skill.

Recruitment: Villanova and possibly Arizona could be putting themselves ahead of a pack that also includes Virginia, Kansas, UCLA, Stanford and Seton Hall.

Why is he a starter?: There wasn't a better or more exciting player from the class of 2019 at camp. Anthony is a big-time athlete who can hammer on opponents in the lane, he distributes and is also a fine defender.

Recruitment: Anthony doesn't really talk recruiting, but had over 20 programs get in touch last week.

Why is he a starter?: What makes Johnson such a valuable prospect is that he should be college-ready. He's a strong finisher who is also crafty in how he scores. Johnson really had a strong camp.

Recruitment: Texas and Maryland seem to be getting the most buzz right now.

Why is he a starter?: McCormack is due for a nice bump in the rankings and looks like a potential impact player as a freshman in college. He has a great blend of brute strength and skill.

Recruitment: Visited Duke and NC State after Top 100 Camp, recently saw Virginia and has others like Kansas, Virginia Tech, Kentucky, Louisville and UCLA involved.

BAZLEY AMONG THOSE HIGHLIGHTING THE REST OF THE TEAM

* Four-star forward Darius Bazley makes the team because he is the ideal hybrid/combo forward in today's game. He's long, he's athletic and he's versatile. Most of all he can play fast and rebounds well. The former Ohio State commit recently visited Louisville.

* The team is going to need shooters from the wing and A.J. Reeves and Joe Wieskamp each earn spots for their ability to shoot the ball. Reeves is also physical and athletic and it looks like Villanova and Providence are strong in his final four schools. Wieskamp has great size, good length and is knockdown shooter who can finish at the rim. Tremendous pickup for Iowa.

* With shooters and a versatile forward in place, the next thing the All NBPA Top 100 needs is some off-the-dribble scorers like 2019 combo guard Tyrese Maxey and 2018 point guard Ayo Dosunmu. Both are strong, tough drivers who can score in bunches and are pushing for five-star status.

* Next on the list, top 50 wing Jules Bernard, was solid in all phases of the game. The way he's playing, he should make himself a priority prospect for programs in the Pac-12 and beyond.

* Finally, we round out the team with one more big man and underclassmen in 2019 Armando Bacot. Great hands, above average skill and touch are Bacot's strengths and he's a true back to the basket scorer. Louisville, LSU, USC, Baylor and Tennessee are some of the newcomers to his recruitment with others like Virignia, Maryland, Kansas and many more involved.
