KPA MVP D'Angelo Russell (Ohio State/Los Angeles Lakers)- Russell averaged 40 in two games and lead his KPA #1 team to the championship.
Aaron Cosby (Western Kentucky 2016) - Cosby averaged 27 in the KPA. He is a big time combo guard who can flat shoot the ball, and can play at solid level in Europe.
AJ Slaughter (Western Kentucky/Turkey) - Slaughter is a regular each summer at the KPA. He averaged 22 a game this summer and led his team to beg wins over Team Southern Indiana in the summer league.

Lyonell Gaines (Morehead State 2016) 6-6 3/4 position player - Gaines is a beast around the basket and is versatile enough to handle the ball and create missmatches. He also can shoot the 3 much better than his college stats. He had 27 in the semi finals today. He is an excellent pick up for an overseas team who needs a warrior, that can play 3 or 4.
Remy Abell (Xavier 2016) 6-4 - Abell had a great KPA. He is a big time athlete who can slash to the rim and shoot the 3 with range. He also can flat defend. He guarded some big time player in the event and did a great job. He is a great pick up for someone overseas at good level.
Joe Lawson (Indianapolis/Germany) 6-8 Forward - Lawson had a great KPA. The big man went to war in the semi finals. Lawson had 32 to help Indy get to the finals. He is a big man who can post and shoot the 3. He has a wide body and is agile for his size.
Deonta Vaught (Cincinatti/France) 5-11 PG - Vaughn has played in the KPA before and came to play this year. He shot the ball really well from 3. He hit 5 3's in the semis and hit some clutch ones. He is a big time guard who it was good to have back at the KPA.
Greg Foster (Saginaw Valley/Ft. Wayne CBA) - Foster is a warrior. He is a big time penetrator and can finish in traffic. He played real well for Indy. He had 20 in the semis and in the finals. He is a solid PG for an overseas team.

He is a wide body who can handle like a guard when needs to. He can shoot the ball from 3 or score on some crafty moves around the hole. He would dominate some of the smaller pro leagues if given the chance.
Tyrell Means (IU Southeast/ABA) 6-2 Combo - Means is a BIG TIME athlete who can flat get up in the air. However he can also play the game. He is a solid combo who can drive it or shoot it. He gets up on his jump shot to the point it is almost impossible to challenge. He is also a big time defender! He is a solid pick up for pro club.
2016 Current College Player of the Year- Charles Foster (Trinity/Kentucky Wesleyan) 6-1 PG - Foster is an excellent PG. He, AJ Slaugher, and Aaron Cosby played great together. Foster can shoot the ball, and can run a team. I look for big things out of him next year at KWC.
