Crazy stunner to kick off #AfroBasket2025. Guinea beats favorites South Sudan 88-80. Alpha Diallo set pace with 28PTS & Mamadi Diakite with a perfect 6/6 (16PTS) from the field.

6’3 Bello Suleiman from Highland College @highlandccmbb turned the tempo all the way up. Playmaking, pressure, and pure flair — he owned his minutes. 🎬🔥 #EducationalBasketball #Nike #EBSummerClassic25 #GuardPlay

One of the best JUCO prospects on the continent. Outstanding shooter and tremendous feel for action!! @preciousfarad

6’6 KAO Elite guard Precious Faraday dropped 41 points🤯vs Rowe Park on less than 20 shots against BAL/PRO players had the whole arena buzzing in game 1. Elite shot making, ball handling & creativity in the open court. Maybe the best talent in Nigeria. #EBSummerClassic

The EB Nike Summer Classic Final was the best game played in Nigeria on any level this year by FAR!!! DOUBLE OVERTIME & TWO BUZZER BEATERS 🇳🇬 @EducationalBbal @DJ_TUNEZ @meziemetufdn

LAST SUNDAY WAS A MOVIE!!Educational Basketball Nike Summer Classic ‘25 Final was ONE OF THE BEST GAMES PLAYED IN AFRICA THIS YEAR!! Tunez Squad overcame a 20 point comeback from Team Mezie. DOUBLE OT MADNESS with TWO BUZZER BEATERS! Here’s a quick look back 🏆🔥💯

Teafale Lenard Jr. is the goods!! Highly instinctive with a natural feel for creating & ball handling manipulation. Scored the most points (39) in BAL history vs Nairobi City Thunder. Spent two years at Middle Tennessee. Looking like one of the most slept on players in the world!

@briangoodall Impressive.

As long as a player really works on their game, they will always have a chance.

Moroccan-Italian PG Omar Karem is always a good watch. Tough, crafty & deliberate floor general with a shooter’s touch. Was solid during these #ANGT finals. Had a clutch performance vs Barcelona in a 85-80 win. Taken his game to a new level since 2023 FIBA Africa U16s.

#ANGT action. Real Madrid’s Sidi Gueye (Arizona commit) was fantastic. Incredibly active on both ends. Showcased nice face up action & scores from post entries & PnR action. Avg 17.3PPG on 68% with 8.7REB & 1.7BPG. The Senegalese native will get after it in Tucson this fall.

Alpha Diallo’s tremendous performance today has pushed AS Monaco into the Euroleague Final. Finished with 22PTS (10/15FG), 3 Dimes & 5REBS in 30 MINS. Great reads, patience & timely buckets. Allowing the game to come to him while staying level headed with aggressiveness.

Love the improvement from 6’1 Moroccan guard Hatim Sakni. Was called up for U18 Afrobasket last year but couldn’t make the trip due to passport issues. Currently averaging 17.3PPG & shooting 32% from 3PT in the BAA Dubai league. Tough minded with tremendous work ethic.

@Scoutspects @relja996 LOL!!!

Otega Oweh, Mackenzie Mbako and John Tonje were all productive in different ways during scrimmages at the NBA Draft Combine last week. Find our recap of the African players at the event below ⬇️

Barcelona’s Mohamed Dabone kicked off the 2025 Adidas Next Generation Tournament with a statement in only 17 minutes of action. 16PTS, 6REBS, 2/2 from 3PT & 2 Blocks. The 6’11 Class of 2029 phenom certainly has taken his skill set to a new level while playing 4 years up.

Big ups to Egypt/Layton Christian Academy 6’8 F Omar Mowafak for picking up his first D1 offer from Ohio University. Another example of where diligent work and great decision can take African youth players. Initially saw him average at U16 FIBA championships..Got better!

@Scoutspects Yikes

Lewis Uvwo(6’10 🇳🇬 NBA Academy/Kriol Star/Raptors Academy) has transformed his career over the last year. A true example of a raw prospect following through with purposeful work ethic & decision making. Performing at a high level against grown men!!! Extremely bright path ahead.
