2016 Season 

BMM has a roster loaded with talent and size. With their top players each standing 6’7 as true 8th graders they will look to create problems from teams in the bracket with smaller front lines. In March,  Coach Nwelue’s sqaud won the prestigious Texas Youth Basketball League which hosts many of the top teams in the state. They played up in the Great American Shoot Out and placed runner-up in the championship bracket. They have fought against tough teams such as the Texas Titans, West Coast All Starts and D1 Premier.

Caleb Lohner is a very key component to BMM. At 6’7 he has a high motor and can play inside and out. He stood out at the John Lucas all-star weekend invite tournament and was invited to the International Middle School Combine. After only his 2nd yr of competitive travel basketball, he led his middle school team to back to back district titles. Quevian Adger is another 6’7 14yr old combo forward that has a high motor. He has the ability to rebound and lead the fastbreak because with his quickness and handle. He’s unselfish but can also can knock down open shots. He’s gone from unknown in Dallas to playing in the International Middle School Combine all in less than 18 months. Quevian has a very high ceiling. He led his middle school team in EVERY statistical category. Brandon Lawrence is a 6’1 combo guard. He is one of the top perimeter defenders in the state of Texas and he can score from all 3 levels a variety of ways. In just his first season of highly competitive basketball he’s made a name for himself as one of the top 2020 guards in Dallas. He led his middle school team to back to back undefeated seasons.

Coaches

Head Coach/Program Director: Brian Nwelue has been running Basketball Means More for 3 years. Played 4 years of college basketball and 2 years of semi-pro basketball throughout the country.
