Stats Last Season:
This past season for Cape Fear Academy, Bonsu was one of the primary leaders on the court, averaging 14.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game.
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“Bonsu is such a strong and gifted guard with the ball in his hands. His ability to put the ball on the floor and attack, finishing through contact is where he thrives. As a strong-bodied guard, it is what makes him tough to stop is that he can be a threat in multiple areas; body up smaller defenders with his strength, attack the paint, or make opponents pay with his pull-up jumper. He gets great lift on his jumper that makes it tough for opponents to stop.” – Patrick O’Brien from Hoops & Dreams in 2019
“Moving onto a player that possesses an incredible motor and array of translatable skills, Emmanuel Bonsu. He’s a big, strong, athletic point guard prospect with incredible tools and the ability to physically overwhelm any opponent in his path. Bonsu is an absolute monster in transition and capable of punching it on any victim around the basket. He shows no fear of any opponent and happily welcomes any challenge from the opposition. Bonsu is an excellent defender with particularly impressive on-ball and rebounding instincts, which allow him to secure rebounds and force turnovers at a pretty phenomenal rate. He’s an adequate shooter that can hit shots along the perimeter, but typically prefers to get downhill and attack the basket with strength.” – NC Top 80 evaluation
“Bonsu can legitimately go toe-to-toe with any of the point guards in North Carolina’s Class of 2020. His IQ, pace, and frame are excellent and pretty easily noticeable, but his polished skillset often gets overlooked. Bonsu is a powerful physical specimen with sharp vision, a tight handle, and the ability to score in a variety of different ways. On top of all that, he’s basically unstoppable in the open floor.” – Jeff Bendel in 2020
