Between Vegas (May 7-8) and Bay Area (May 21-22), Elite Basketball Circuit in partnership with Grassroots 365 and Open Gym Premier led the charge on two of the most high-profile showcases during the month of May. With over 1,000 kids traveling from different parts of the country and high-level coaches in attendance, both events did not disappoint. Between skill development stations, king of the court, leadership development, and an all-star game these camps serve as a proving ground for up and coming players to take their game to the next level.
With each camp comes the opportunity to earn a multitude of awards highlighted by our event staff. From MVP to Outstanding Performer, Hustle, Defense, Playmaker Assist and even King of the Court.
Among the winners at EBC Vegas 2021 were…
Isaiah Cuellar– Class of 2024-MVP

Dylan See– Class of 2028- MVP

Among the winners at EBC Bay-Area 2021 were…
Theo-Sully McLaughlin– Class of 2024- MVP
“Playmaking guard who looks to attack the rim and looks to either finish or dish out to the open man off the double team. Tough, physical player who doesn’t get beat off the block.”
Ely Willis– Class of 2025- MVP
“Stellar rebounder who finishes at the rim with ease. Excellent shooter from mid-range and is automatic from inside the key.
Cole Loud– Class of 2025- Outstanding Performer
“A defensive minded forward who crashes the boards on every possession. By utilizing his size and moving quickly with his feet, there is a creation of separation even on 50/50 balls.”
Nattapat Chris Kanchananakhin– Class of 2025- Hustle
“Very quick player who made runs for his teammates to hit him, slashing towards the basket. Played with great pace and was able to finish at the rim when given the opportunity.”
Jacob Butler– Class of 2025- Defense
“Defensive, lengthy forward who has a knack for finding the ball off the rim. His hustle combined with his stellar on-ball defending makes him a nightmare for opponents.”
Cloud David Laurente– Class of 2025- Playmaker Assist
“Great passing guard who looks to pass and facilitate for others around the court. Excellent lateral movement off the ball and always knew where to be on the court.”
Rashod Cotton– Class of 2025- King of the Court
“Phenomenal shooter who could score from anywhere on the court, giving his team a bucket whenever asked. Also knew to dish the ball out when the double-team came.”
