The talent in Session 2 of 16U at EYBL this past weekend was incredible. Many players showed out in Indiana on multiple different teams. Let's dive in and check out some of the 16U standouts from Session 2 in Indiana.
Tyler McKinley (All Ohio Red): 24.3 PPG (56.9% FG), 8.3 RPG, 2.8 APG, 1.5 SPG
The 4-star PF had a breakout weekend in Indiana. At 6'8" McKinley can handle the ball and muscles his way through defenders where he showcases his elite finishing skills at the hoop. He has high awareness, nice court vision, and is able to convert broken plays to baskets. The 16U scoring leader gained lots of attention from colleges such as Ohio State, Xavier, Purdue, Cincinnati Dayton, and West Virginia have visited him at practice since the conclusion of Session 2.
Sammie Yeanay (Nightrydas): 21 PPG (77.1% FG), 8.5 RPG
Yeanay had one of the best FG percentages on the weekend. The 6'9" F is a powerful rebounder who flies for putbacks dunks frequently. He plays smart on each end of the court and can also shoot the three-ball as well. Yeanay picked up an offer from Alabama over the weekend and should pick up many more.
Pharaoh Compton (Team Strive For Greatness): 15 PPG (78.4% FG), 9 RPG, 3 BPG
Compton put together a very strong weekend. The 6'7" PF uses his big frame to challenge defenders at the hoop, where it usually results in him postering them. He is a very good shot blocker and is a big threat around the rim. Compton is one of the more underrated players in his class and he recently picked up his first offer from Texas A&M.
Terrence Hill (Rose City Rebels): 24.3 PPG (48.5% FG & 46% from three), 3 RPG, 4.8 APG, 2 SPG
Hill plays very under control and can really shoot the ball. He is a great catch-and-shooter and has great court vision allowing him to make quick passes to teammates. The up-and-coming point guard thinks ahead when he's on the floor. Hill is very underrated as he currently only holds 3 offers but is a name to watch out for.
Dylan Harper (NY Rens): 19.3 PPG (48.4% FG), 6 RPG, 5.3 APG
Harper did a bit of everything this past weekend. The 4-star plays hard and plays smart on the court. The son of Ron Harper led his team to a 3-1 record. He also attacks and isn't afraid to finish through contact and makes unselfish plays as well. Harper received an offer from Indiana over the weekend.
Karter Knox (Florida Rebels): 24.3 PPG (52.7% FG), 4.3 RPG, 1.7 SPG
The 5-star put together a very productive weekend leading the Florida Rebels. The brother of Kevin Knox has a great shot off the dribble and glides to the hoop. Knox can also shoot the ball very well and uses his frame to his advantage to score. He secured an offer from Illinois over the weekend.
Daniel Freitag (Howard Pulley): 18.3 PPG (52.8% FG), 5.7 RPG, 3 APG, 1.7 SPG
Freitag is a very quick and explosive player. He has impressive speed allowing him to blow by defenders and run great in transition. The 6'3" G is a very active player good on both ends of the court and is very fun to watch. He does a bit of everything and can even hit threes as well. Freitag is a bit underrated and should only receive more recognition as time goes on.
Jason Asemota (Team Syndicate): 22.3 PPG (54.8% FG), 6 RPG
The 5-star showed his dominance and ability to score in Indiana. Asemota is a great catch-and-shooter and has the ability to light it up beyond the arc. At 6'8" he uses his size to his advantage to shoot over defenders and bring high-energy plays with his strong dunks. Asemota had a game-high of 36 points as he shot 14-19 (6-9 from three) against TSF.
Yves Missi (PSA Cardinals): 11.3 PPG (65.2% FG), 8.3 RPG, 4.5 BPG

Malachi Palmer (Team Syndicate): 17.8 PPG (49.1% FG), 5 RPG, 5 APG

At 6'7" he runs the floor very well and accelerates past defenders to get to the hoop. He has nice footwork and has the ability to knock down shots right over defenders because of his size.
Durral "Phat Phat" Brooks (The Family): 17.7 PPG (46.5% FG), 5.3 RPG, 3 APG, 1.7 SPG
