| Wendell Moore-2019's #1 Ranked Player |
The NYBL staff has worked very hard to
compile the most complete and accurate
National Basketball Class of 2019 Top
100 Ranking. The NYBL staff has had the
pleasure of watching and evaluating these players during the competitive
inaugural NYBL season, the 6
th Grade AAU Nationals in Hampton, VA,
at the Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase where the NYBL All Star Top 20 and Top 40
games took place and at various other tournaments and camps around the country
this past AAU season. These rankings represent
post season rankings that will be updated after this upcoming year’s AAU season
at which time we will also release National Rankings for the Class of
2020. When looking at our rankings we
take into account the performance, production and potential of the
prospect. Also the player’s IQ and Skill
Set come into the equation when we evaluate players.
Although many things
can change between a player’s 6th grade year and his senior year of
high school, we believe that this is a good starting point in the evaluation
process for those talented players who are trying to earn college scholarships. We understand that there will be debate that
some players should be placed higher or lower in the rankings, and that players
will move in and out of the class due to the reclassification phenomenon from
year-to-year and certain players will get better and others will not, some will
stop growing and others will sprout up, but it’s our goal to provide the best
and most accurate list through our evaluation process. So let’s dig in and analyze the Class of 2019
Top 100 National Basketball Rankings.

The Perimeter
Rules 2019
Right now the breakdown of the Top 100 is heavily weighted
to the perimeter. The class doesn’t seem
to have the overall size that the 2018 class does, but that could change as there
is a lot of good height on the Watch List and the class is still very young so
there is always a potential that the perimeter strength of the class could shift
to the post down the road. There are 22 Point Guards, 22 Shooting Guards, 22
Wing Forwards, 18 Power Forwards, and 16 Centers that comprise the Top 100. 58 of
the Top 100 played in the NYBL. We
have also included a 35-player Watch List of players that we are monitoring and
who could crack the Top 100 rankings when they are updated next fall.

| Scottie Lewis-WF New Jersey |
Wing Forwards are
the Cream of the Crop
10 of the top 30
players are wing forwards led by Shariff Kenny who plays for DC Assault and
plays up with the 2018 team that won the AAU National Championship two seasons
ago as 6th Graders. Kenny is
followed by Chandler Lawson, Scottie
Lewis, Jordan Mitchell and Thomas
Bruner as the Top 5 Wing Forwards in the class.

| Kobe Langley-Carolina Prep's Floor General |
Carolina Preps
have Major Talent
Wendell Moore checks
in as the overall #1 prospect and top power forward in the class. He was the horse that helped lead the
Carolina Preps to the National Championship at AAU Nationals and a second place
finish in the NYBL. The Preps have 5
other players that teamed up with Moore to bring home the crown in Hampton
debuting in the Top 100. Kobe Langley,
Keyshaun Langley, Mike Green, Chaz Gwyn, Max Farthing all are ranked 63 or
higher.

| Tyler Brelsford-DMV's Top PG |
The DMV is Strong
with Ballers
5 of the Top 25 teams
in the 2013 6
th Grade DI Final AAU Power Rankings hail from the DMV
which is DC, Maryland and Northern VA.
#8 ETU Select, #11 Baltimore’s Finest, #15 DC Assault, #17 Team
Takeover, #22 MADE Elite shows the elite level talent that is in the DMV for
the Class of 2019. Metro Sixers also won
the Classic Bracket which would make them the 26
th best team in the
country. These top elite nationally
ranked team explains why 19 of the Top 100 players reside in Maryland (12),
Washington, DC (2), and Virginia (5
). Shariff Kenny, Justin Moore, Levar Allen,
Gerard Mungo, Tyler Brelsford are the Top 5 ranked players in the DMV and
are all ranked in the Top 27 in the class. The NYBL will take the next 5 weeks to analyze the five Position
Rankings starting with the Point Guards next week. After that we will begin to release our
Pre-Season Team Rankings. Let the debate begin!
