The 2025 Pangos All American Camp was held at Bishop Gorman High School, in Henderson, Nevada, just outside Las Vegas, from June 1-3. In front of NBA scouts and national media. A number of the top high school players in the country (mainly from the classes of 2026 and 2027) participated in 3-on-3 drills and scrimmages, which culminated in a top 60 game followed by a top 30 game.
Top Prospects
Reese Alston – 6’2″ PG, Second Baptist, Class of 2027
Reese is a lightning-quick point guard who can easily get downhill. He has wizard-like ball handling skills, even showcasing some of the patented between-the-legs dribbles his dad displayed both in And1 Mixtapes and on NBA floors. He kept his eyes up at all times while handling the ball low and rapidly between his legs, scanning the court to find the open cutter while making his defender feel very uneasy. While he showed some flashes reminiscent of “Skip 2 My Lou,” he also showcased more disciplined and mature lead guard play, feeding his teammates with open looks. In addition, his shot is more advanced than his dad’s was at his age. At the event, he showed an excellent mid-range stroke, often taking one dribble, forcing his defender to take a large step back, and creating space for his shot. On defense, he competed and used his quickness and length to get deflections and steals. He has quick hips and moves well laterally on the defensive end.
Kaiden Bailey – 6’2″ PG, 180 lbs, Calvary Chapel Christian, Class of 2026
Bailey is a well-known player out west who plays in the EYBL circuit for Team Why Not and quite frankly might be underrated by the national media. He has a solid frame and long arms and bullied the 2027 and 2028 guards at this event. He has always been a good outside shooter with a nice high arc and is both proficient from three and nearly automatic from the free throw line. Because of his shooting ability, he has oftentimes played off the ball, but he has the vision and handles to be the lead guard on a winning team. Though shorter in stature, his added strength and broad shoulders have allowed him to create space off the dribble for his mid-range jumper and display good footwork to create scoring opportunities from the mid-range and after jump stops in the key. An attack-first guard, he’s best on the move leading the fast break. On defense, his length and strength aid him. He possesses just average athleticism for the top level; his shooting prowess will have to lead the way for him as a pro. He was a very deserving MVP of the 2025 Pangos All American Camp.
Tarris Bouie – 6’6″ Wing, Spire Academy, Class of 2026
Bouie had one of the highlight dunks of the camp, finishing with a two-handed flush over a defender who tried to block his shot too late. Tarris has a long and thin frame which at first glance may suggest he will shy away from contact, but that is absolutely not the case. He is a high-energy player who is willing to guard players taller than him in the post and use his length and speed to be disruptive and create deflections. Offensively, it wasn’t one of his more consistent outside shooting performances, but he still found ways to score—finishing plays on the fast break with dunks and slithering past defenders in half-court sets to find easy scoring opportunities around the rim while making the occasional jump shot.
Trevon Carter-Givens – 6’9″ PF, So Cal Academy, Class of 2026
Trevon Carter-Givens plays for Team Why Not this season on the EYBL circuit. With good length, he will likely play power forward at the college and pro level. A good athlete with quickness and vertical ability, he displayed rim protection and defensive rebounding skills at Pangos. He moves fluidly, which aids him defensively when switched onto guards. He still has room to add strength to his frame so he is better equipped to guard centers. He showed good ability to catch lobs on pick-and-rolls and finish strong off offensive rebounds. When facing the basket on the perimeter, he has a quick first step but should focus on limiting himself to one or two dribbles maximum. Outside shooting is still very much a work in progress but seemed most comfortable from the corner three, where he made a few. He’s a very good rim runner on the fast break.
Christian Collins – 6’8″ Forward, St. John Bosco, Class of 2026
The highest-rated player at this camp, Christian Collins made a name for himself last year at this same event. At 6’8″, he flashed his ability to face up by taking opponents off the dribble and finishing strong at the rim. He is just proficient enough from the outside to make his handles effective but will need to become more proficient from the perimeter to hear his name called early at the top level. While last year he played to establish his name on the national scene at Pangos, this year it looked like he was working on particular moves and dribbles in half-court sets, which led to some loose dribbles and turnovers. He still features elite quickness and athleticism, a solid shooting stroke, and handles for a player his size. Christian had some of the best highlight-level plays at the 2025 Pangos All American Camp. However, he will need to shoot the ball more consistently if he ends up being a wing at the top level or get stronger if he’s playing the four. In general, strength and valuing each possession are still things that need improvement in the next 24 months.
Quinn Costello – 6’10” PF, The Newman School, Class of 2026
No one had a better camp than Quinn Costello. At 6’10”, he has good size and a fluid shooting stroke, consistently making shots from the perimeter. Not afraid to attack the rim, there were several occasions where he tried to punch the ball over an opponent and through the hoop, only to get fouled. That combination of size, shooting ability, and athleticism is rare, which made him the talk of the camp among scouts and media, earning him co-MVP for the event and six Power 4 offers within five days of the camp being over after previously receiving primarily mid-major offers. If a defender closes out hard on him, he will pump fake and take a one-dribble mid-range jumper or, with an angle, get to the rim. He still has some limitations in terms of creating off the dribble but showed promise there as well.
DeMarcus Henry – 6’7″ Forward, Mater Dei, Class of 2027
DeMarcus, the son of former NFL player Chris Henry, has an ideal frame with broad shoulders and good length. A good athlete, scouts were really intrigued with his ability to create and absorb contact both on offense and defense. He flashed some ability to put the ball on the floor and showed court vision, finding cutters from his post position on drives and cuts. A strong finisher around the rim with dunks, he also has soft touch to finish off plays after contact. He flashed a solid southpaw stroke.
Jacob Lanier – 6’5″ SG, Parkview Magnet, Class of 2026
Lanier was one of the MVPs in 2024 and came back to earn MVP status again in 2025. A three-level scorer, at Pangos he really focused on leading with his defense and sharing the ball with his teammates. Getting deflections and steals on defense led to some fast-break opportunities and strong finishes for himself and teammates. Offensively, he made quick decisions with the ball, making it move quickly. He is very proficient as a mid-range shooter and has some ability to put it on the floor to create for himself and others. He has a quick jab step and rip-through to get to his spots.
Gabe Nesmith – 6’5″ CG, Prolific Prep, Class of 2027
Nesmith is extremely quick for a player his size. He buzzes down the court with the ball in his hands and is hard to stop when he gets downhill. He has a very linear trajectory to get downhill, but all it takes is his crossover and natural speed to get by his defender. He has a quick release and a scorer’s mentality. A very good athlete, he is a threat on offensive rebound putbacks if he is not boxed out. The ball can stick a little in his hands from time to time, and there is some audacity in his shot selection occasionally, but his combination of quickness and proficient shot is quite rare, making him a very intriguing prospect.
Preston Wade – 6’9″, Providence Christian Academy, Class of 2026
Wade had an immediate impact at Pangos as a rim protector, getting five blocks in his first game. He’s long and quick off the ground, which helps him defend the basket and grab rebounds both on offense and defense. He scored many points with two-handed dunks off offensive rebounds at this event. He’s comfortable handling the ball in fast-break situations, but the ball can get loose in traffic. He’s comfortable shooting from catch-and-shoot situations and from the triple threat will use a jab step. Extremely competitive, he talked constantly with his teammates. He noticeably and consistently spent most of his free time between games and stations shooting on the side court.
Tai Bell – 6’3″ CG, Mater Lake, Class of 2028
Son of former NBA player Raja Bell, Tai Bell was one of the youngest players at the camp. Just headed to his sophomore season in high school, he already has a solid frame and athleticism to work with. He showed solid handles and was disruptive on the defensive end of the floor for his team. With older players getting the majority of the shots in half-court sets, he was able to fill the box score in other ways with his strong rebounding as a guard and scoring off his hustle plays and steals. Showcasing strong ball-handling skills with both hands, he was able to get downhill and create space with his already strong frame. He demonstrated good mechanics with his jump shot.
Cayden Daughtry – 5’11” PG, Calvary Christian Academy, Class of 2027
Cayden Daughtry is one of the leading scorers in EYBL U17s and showed his playmaking ability at Pangos. He has a quick release with extended range on his shot and is a very good passer. Small in stature but not in heart, on Sunday, the first day of camp, he stole the ball and, as he was alone on the breakaway, finished the play with a one-handed dunk. Cayden has the ball on a string, creating for himself and teammates. Around the rim, he’s still figuring out how to score around shot blockers given his small size. One issue that was accentuated here was his tough time on the defensive end against the older, stronger guards. He had no answers in stopping Kaiden Bailey, as Kaiden used his strength and height to get to his spots.
Oneal Delancey – 6’3″ CG, Gibbs, Class of 2027
Delancey showcased a sweet shooting stroke at Pangos, shooting it from various spots on the floor in catch-and-shoot situations. He demonstrated the ability to shoot off pump fakes, step-backs, and jab steps from long range. He flashed some athletic moves, finishing plays with two-handed dunks off the fast break and getting downhill on occasion to score layups using a Euro step. He lacks ideal positional height for a shooting guard, thus will need to hone his lead guard skills as he moves up in levels, but overall was one of the premier shooters at Pangos.
Theo Edema – 7’0″, Cushing Academy, Class of 2027
Edema looks every bit the part of an SEC center. Measured with a 7’5″ wingspan and a 9’2.5″ standing reach while weighing nearly 250 lbs at BWB Global last February, he has the measurables NBA teams are looking for. At a setting like Pangos, it’s hard for non-shooting bigs to distinguish themselves, but he was able to showcase his ability to run the floor, be a rim protector, and rebound. His shooting and handles are still very much a work in progress, but his power is unquestioned, and with momentum he has the power to flush not only the ball but any defender through the rim.
Tyran Frazier – 6’10” Forward, Class of 2027
One of the players with the most upside at Pangos, he has good length, athleticism, and a solid shooting stroke. He has the skills to be a 6’10” small forward at any level, but his play was very uneven at Pangos. A younger player, he lacked aggressiveness at the beginning of the camp and the ball tended to stick in his hands. It appeared that he would dribble the ball just for the sake of dribbling with no plan, which led to some turnovers and some unhappy teammates early on. As the camp progressed, he became more aggressive and was scoring in the post off rebounds, making quick cuts to the basket from the corner for strong finishes, and scoring from the mid-range. With his height and length, his jump shot is very difficult to block at any level. As he gets stronger, he should have an easier time creating separation and getting downhill. Although still raw, at his height his handles and shot are very intriguing. At this stage of his young basketball career, he’s a high ceiling, low floor type of player in the eyes of scouts.
SJ Madison – 6’5″ SG, Redondo Union, Class of 2026
SJ Madison was very good the first two days of the camp. He showcased a good mid-range game, scoring buckets off catch-and-shoot and off one-dribble side steps. He fought on the offensive glass, scoring off offensive rebounds in the key. Blessed with broad shoulders and solid athleticism, he can bully opponents around the rim and is extremely difficult for a defender to recover on if he has a first step on them. Defensively, he competed and moved well laterally.
Elias Obenyah – 6’5″ SG, Salesian, Class of 2026
Obenyah is everything but flashy, which is something that can be hard to notice at a setting such as Pangos. He has very good footwork—jab steps, jump stops, and step-throughs are all a major part of his game. A solid shooter from the mid-range, he was the safety net for his team when they needed a bucket. He possesses good strength and is a quick decision maker and good passer from the wing. A good all-around player who lacks one great skill that stands out, he had proficient scoring games at Pangos that media and scouts alike talked about and noticed.
Shane Pendergrass – 6’7″ Forward, Hargrave Military Academy
Pendergrass was MVP of the top 60 game, shooting from three with extreme conviction. A combo forward, his ability to score was showcased at Pangos. Very proficient in catch-and-shoot situations, he also flashed some back-to-the-basket fadeaway and a fade pump fake with an up-and-under counter. He has good length that helps him finish plays with two-handed flushes. If he ends up being a small forward, with his length and height he will have good positional size, but his ball-handling skills are still a question mark. Although he is long, he lacks the athleticism necessary to be a power forward at a shorter height. But do not discount his length and shooting ability.
Joe Philon – 6’8″ Forward, Montverde Academy, Class of 2026
Joe Philon is a good athlete with length and a quick vertical jump. He showcased himself with athletic plays around the rim, finishing plays with two-handed dunks. With momentum going down the lane, he is extremely difficult to stop. On defense, his long arms caused deflections and steal opportunities, and he moves well laterally. He has some strength but needs to put on weight to not be a defensive liability in the post. In addition, his jump shot needs some work as it goes across his face and has a low arc angle.
Isaiah Rogers – 6’3″ CG, Centennial, Class of 2026
Rogers was one of the leading scorers at Pangos. His ability to shoot and self-create has always been one of his strengths as a player. Defensively, he showed some fight here, staying in front of guards and being disruptive. The major question for him is, given his height, can he be a true lead guard without taking away from his aggressiveness as a scorer.
