Moses Byekwaso (’97) Finishes Number 1 at Deng Camp Top 50 2015!

By Sam Neter on October 2, 2015

Take a look at what went down at the 2015 Deng Camp Top 50, featuring some of the top 50 junior players in the country, where Moses Byekwaso ended up as the number 1 ranked player!

The 1997 born Moses proved to be the underdog story of the year as he went from being a reserve on the initial list to coming out on top. The 6’2″ athletic guard averaged 19.7 points per game off of 49% shooting including 44% from 3-point range to go along with 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in 26 minutes per game over the 3 days.

We spoke with Camp Director Steve Vear, Blair Academy coach Joe Mantegna (Luol’s High School coach), Luol’s trainer Jacob Ross from EFT Sports Performance in Chicago, as well as the top 3 ranked players; Moses, Ola Ayodele and RJ Eytle-Rock.

The final top 20 rankings out of the camp were;

1) Moses Byekwaso
2) Ola Ayodele
3) RJ Eytle-Rock
4) Alex Roberts
5) Melkisedek Moreaux
6) Shaquille Walters
7) Luke Mitchell
8) Dan Akin
9) Kyle Carey
10) Kemar Hawes
11) Charles Yassi-Pepin
12) Andre Arissol

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
