Beating Bryce James and Carmelo Anthony’s Son Kiyan, Carlos Boozer’s Son Dominates Nike’s EYBL With Highest PPG

The Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) is back for its 14th season. As expected, it has presented some of the promising stars of the league. The Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James‘s second eldest Bryce James has delivered quite a loud and dominating presence on the court. Lakers legend Carmelo Anthony‘s son Kiyan Anthony also took part in the games. However, stealing the thunder is Carlos Boozer‘s son. 

Boozer’s son Cameron Boozer managed to surpass both the rising stars to make an impression. A special Instagram post by BR Hoops flaunted Kiyan’s excellence in the game. The last slide showcases the PPG of all the top players. The post was captioned, “2025 Kiyan Anthony is top-10 in scoring on the EYBL circuit averaging 20.6 PPG🔥 @kiyananthony (via @madehoops )” 

Kiyan Anthony averaged 20.6 PPG grabbing the ninth place. On the other hand, young Boozer amassed 24.3 points per game. The most intriguing moment came when the league introduced two rising stars in a game against each other. The game between Nightrydas Elite and Strive for Greatness (SFG) features elite players like Boozer and James.

Bryce James delivered 21 points and 5 rebounds but still couldn’t manage to lead his team to victory. Despite the best efforts, he lost against Cameron Boozer who also scored 21 points. However, the Nightrydas had Boozer’s twin Cayden Boozer too.
