Rock Hill, South Carolina – The Adidas brand is holding its championships this weekend, as the teams on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit are gathered with one goal in mind, taking home the crown. It is also an NCAA Live Evaluation period with college coaches able to sit courtside and watch.

On3 was among other pre-approved media and college coaches to watch the talent.

Let’s discuss the top performers that I saw on Friday at the Adidas 3SSB Championships.

Adidas 3SSB Championship Schedule

Five-star C Flory Bidunga 

Flory Bidunga carries a great frame, but it is his explosive athleticism and his motor that really stand out for him. The five-star is a lefty post-player who simply continues to come at you. He has good feet on the block and plays with excellent anticipation both in the passing lanes and on the boards. 

Bidunga had a nice matchup in the afternoon session with 6-foot-10 five-star center Jayden Quaintance. The pair went back and forth with one another, trading blows. Bidunga had a lot of ferocious positive plays.

Four-star SG Jackson Keith (2025)

Jackson Keith is a noted scorer. Someone who is able to get to his spots in the half-court and knock down shots at each level. He has a strong frame, a sturdy base with good length, and broad shoulders. 

Keith competes, and you like that in a player. While he does not have the most lateral quickness, he has good strength, and he rebounds his area well. However, the best part of his game is when he is making shots. He knocked down five threes in today’s game. He has mostly been known for his work in the mid-to-high-post area, and he did some work there, but the threes opened up a new piece to his game. The confidence was high and 

Five-star SG Darryn Peterson (2025)

Darryn Peterson has all the tools. At 6-foot-4, he is a scoring guard who is comfortable creating for himself or handling the lead guard role, creating for others. He had a full scoring display on today, getting to the rim and finishing through contact and knocking down pull-up jumpers from the mid-range and behind the arc. 

Peterson is the No. 3 player in the 2025 On3 150. He is coming off a gold medal-winning performance for USA Basketball in the FIBA Americas u16 Championships. He is playing with a lot of confidence and has been able to consistently be a top performer on the court. The game seems to be slowing down for him now, and he is able to use his unique skill to produce numbers.

Five-star SF Annor Boateng

Annor Boateng is one that simply continues to get better. At 6-foot-5, the No. 9 player in the 2024 On3 150 is confident on the ball and distributing for his teammates. He rose to the top ten in the recent rankings update based on his connecting abilities. Someone who does not need to score to make the team better, with his ability to guard multiple positions, rebound, and move the ball around to his teammates. 

This weekend, Boateng has proven to be a go-to type scorer. He has knocked down three or more threes in each of his games over the past two days. He is catching it with great balance and shooting it with a lot of confidence. Boateng uses his pace to get downhill, where he absorbs contact and gets to the free-throw line. He finished with 24 points, going 3-for-5 from three in tonight’s game.

Three-star PG Casmir Chavis

Casmir Chavis is the ultimate point-of-attack lead guard. At a lengthy 6-foot-2, Chavis is a tough on ball defender, able to move his feet in the open floor and use his anticipation in the passing lanes. He is also not afraid of picking up for the full length of the floor. 

Offensively, Chavis touches the paint at will. He is a quick-twitch guard who is playing with a good pace, enhancing his burst as he gets into the teeth of the defense. Chavis has made shots from range in this setting, and he has shown good patience and court vision. There are a lot of qualities to like about Chavis, as he also has brought some excitement to the Adidas 3SSB Championships floor.  

Other standouts

Five-star C Jayden Quaintance (Team Loaded VA) is a load on the block with his strength and explosion. He has great hands, and he really sets the tone around the basket. He stepped out and knocked down a three today and went toe-to-toe with 2024 five-star center Flory Bidunga.

View All

Four-star F Terrion Burgess (Arkansas Hawks) has a ton of upside. He has great length with fluid movements and a lot of burst. He has battled injuries over the past few months, so he is just now getting back into this playing groove, but the flashes were high-level and very intriguing. 

Four-star PG Zoom Diallo (Beauchamp Elite) was tucked away on the backcourt, but that did not downplay his production. Diallo was at his best when he was hunting his shot. He was confident at multiple levels, finishing in the mid-range and pulling up from deep three.

Four-star SF Isaiah Johnson-Arigu (D1 Minnesota) simply knows how to play basketball. He has a strong build, with broad shoulders and great length. Johnson-Arigu scored the ball well at multiple levels, facing the basket. He grabbed area rebounds, and he showed nice court vision.

PF Josh Hill (Garner Road) is hard not to notice on the court. He is legit 6-foot-10, if not 6-foot-11, with long arms that swing down toward his knees. He runs well and moves very fluidly. However, the intrigue comes with the jump shot. He has a smooth and consistent release with a soft touch and deep range. An upside play.

SG Braylon Mullins (Indiana Elite 16s) has possibly been the breakout player of the event. He is a smooth shooter who moves non-stop off the ball. He plays with toughness, rebounding his position. Mullins can attack the rim in straight lines and is a good passer on the move. After going for 20-plus in both of yesterday’s games, the 6-foot-4 shooting guard went for 18 in this one.

Four-star C Oswin Erhunmwunse (BABC) is extremely explosive, and that is the key to his game. The 6-foot-10 post player grabs his rebounds high above the rim and has excellent timing blocking shots. Left-handed, he knocked down free throws as well.

Four-star SG Akai Fleming (Atlanta Celtics 16s) plays an efficient game, and it started in warm-ups. The jump shot is beautiful, with great balance and release. In the game, he was confident as a secondary ball handler and got the ball to his spots in the half-court. 

SG Felix Kossaras (Brookwood Elite) has a great frame and intriguing ball skills. With his length and ability, and comfort on the ball, there is a lot of intrigue. He is a good shooter with range and is comfortable taking it off the bounce or the catch. There is intrigue there as a combo, secondary initiator.
