In February, Tyler Ennis - an alumnus of Father Henry Carr Catholic Secondary School - led Napoli Basketball to the 2024 Italian Cup! Flirting with a “triple-double”, he tallied 21 points, 7 rebounds & 7 assists in defeating Milan 77-72.
In Grade 9, Tyler led Henry Carr Junior B (all Grade 9s) to the #2 ranking for all junior teams, behind Henry Carr A (all Grade 10s).
In Grade 10, he led Henry Carr Junior A to an undefeated season. That team is widely regarded as one of the very best Junior Boys teams of all time. While at St. Benedict's Preparatory School, he was named the “Gatorade New Jersey Player of the Year”.
In his only season at Syracuse University, Tyler was named to the All-ACC Second team, the All-ACC Freshmen Team, the All-ACC Defensive Team, and was a finalist for the Naismith College Player of the Year Award.
He has also played for our Canadian National Team: winning a bronze medal at the 2012 FIBA Americas Under-18 Championships, and in the 2013 FIBA Under-19 World Championships, where he led the tournament in scoring at 26 points per game!
In 2014, Tyler was selected as the 18th overall pick in the NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns, and also played for the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers, before joining Napoli.
