The Overtime Elite league consists of teams with rosters full of nationally-ranked prospects. Overtime Elite games can feature multiple prospects in the top 50 in their respective classes. The teams are deep, and bench/rotation players are also high level and need to be thoroughly evaluated.
C3 Scouting looks at the top 10 scorers on a points per game basis thus far in the early part of the season.
1. Cayden Daughtry (2027) Fear of God, 6’0” PG
38.3 PPG | 4 Games | 34.4 MPG
5.5 RPG | 6.3 APG | 1.3 SPG | 0.0 BPG
FG% 50.5 (49/97) | 3P% 36.4 (12/33) | FT% 69.8 (37/53) | 1 dunk (0.3 DPG)
Daughtry opened up the season with a massive 46-point outburst against RWE. He scored 32, 39, and 36 points the next three games to be sitting at 38.3 per game and leading the league in scoring by a 14.3 points per game margin—compared to the number two leading scorer at 24.0 points per game.
2. CJ Rosser (2027) RWE, 6’10” W/F
24.0 PPG | 4 Games | 33.0 MPG
8.8 RPG | 1.8 APG | 3.3 SPG | 2.8 BPG
FG% 39.5 (32/81) | 3P% 27.5 (11/40) | FT% 74.1 (20/27) | 10 dunks (2.5 DPG)
C3 Scouting recently came out with a national 2027 rankings and placed Rosser at No. 2 overall. He could easily be bumped up to the No. 1 overall prospect, especially considering his play as of late. He holds the most upside and highest NBA ceiling in the 2027 class. He’s been aggressive offensively and is especially firing it up from the three-point line, averaging 10 attempts from three per game. His highest scoring game was a 30-point, 10-rebound double-double vs FaZe. He put up 25 total shots in the game and made 11. Rosser is getting the ball on the catch and shooting the ball in rhythm without hesitation. You have to love the offensive aggression and also the newfound realization that he’s been attacking the rim with authority, averaging 2.5 dunks per game; and they are not of the friendly variety either, as he’s handed out a few highlight posters. Rosser has been getting to the free-throw line frequently on a game-to-game basis, with games of 8, 5, 8, and 6 attempts for an average of 6.8 attempts per game.
3. Tai Bell (2028) Cold Hearts, 6’3” PG
22.8 PPG | 4 Games | 31.6 MPG
5.5 RPG | 6.3 APG | 2.3 SPG | 0.0 BPG
FG% 41.9 (31/74) | 3P% 18.2 (2/11) | FT% 74.3 (26/35)
Son of former NBA player Raja Bell, Tai Bell is a top 10 2028 prospect and my No. 2 point guard prospect in the class behind Josiah Rose. Bell’s confidence, killer mentality, and downhill offensive aggression are key factors as to why he’s so productive. He doesn’t backdown from anyone and will take it at the top guards in the country.
