Orlando, Florida – The National Basketball Players Association invited over 100 of the country’s top high school prospects to Orlando for the 2023 NBPA Top 100 Camp. The court was surrounded by high-powered college coaches and NBA Scouts alike. On3 was also in the stands taking in the action. Here are the top performers from Day 2 of the NBPA Top 100 Camp.

2023 NBPA Top 100 Camp Roster

On3 MVP: SF AJ Dybantsa (2026)

AJ Dybantsa worked like a clinician today as a mid-to-high post scorer. Like clock-work, the play-making wing got to his spots and was able to make shots at a very high clip.

The confidence he plays with is unparalleled. Dybantsa catches he ball in his spots and plays within two or three dribbles. He plays with patience with the ball in his hands and his size and high release enables him to get his shot off with relative ease.

The 6-foot-8 class of 2026 wing recently announced his transfer to Napa (CA) Prolific Prep. He finished with a session high 31 points. He was 12-for-18 from the field.

2. Four-star SG Kon Knueppel

Kon Knueppel simply knows how to play. His feel for the game, gets him into positive spots on the floor, where his skill creates opportunities.

Knueppel was a threat today at all levels of the floor. He used his smooth jump shot to open up lanes for him to drive to the rim. He is a tough rebounder and a very good passer in the open floor. While Knueppel is not the most explosive player, he might be the most efficient. He plays with great balance, which gives him leverage in traffic and he can make plays with either his left or his right hand, at multiple leles of the floor.

Knueppel is the No. 16 player not he 2024 On3 150. He finished Session 4 with 20 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists. He was 13-for-26 from the field and 6-for-12 from three on the day.

3. Five-star SG Bryson Tucker

To say Bryson Tucker’s path has been unique would be an understatement. He left Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy in December, and he does not play travel basketball. Tucker says he came into this camp with a purpose, to put his name back out there.

The 6-foot-6 shooting guard has done just that with his high-flying play at the NBPA Top 100 Camp. He plays with a good pace, is comfortable on the ball, making plays in the half-court. He also really shined in transition, creating opportunities and finishing plays well above the rim. Tucker defended well in the passing lanes and knocked down jump shots in this setting. While the skill set has always been there, the explosion was a big takeaway from today.

The five-star finished with 21 points on 9-for-14 from the field.

4. Five-star C Jayden Quaintance (2025)

Jayden Quaintance is a tough matchup for most players in this camp. The 6-foot-10 center, despite being one of the youngest players in attendance, has a combination of strength, size, and athleticism that makes him unique among his peers.

Quaintance’s game is simple, really. He does not do anything that he is not capable of doing. He has great hands with a lot of explosive burst, both vertically and laterally. Quaintance is an excellent rebounder; he has great hands, is able to corral the ball in traffic, and tracks the ball well. He finishes with authority around the rim, attempting the take the rim down each with him each time he rises up for a finish.

Even as a 2025 prospect, Quaintnce is one of the youngest guys in his class, tracking to be only 17 years old when he graduates. He continues to improve with each viewing, ad his confidence is at an all-time high.

5. Four-star SG VJ Edgecombe

The game is just simple for VJ Edgecombe. While yesterday he was creating space and knocking down jump shots from various levels, today he spent his time in the paint.

The 6-foot-4 shooting guard plays with a great pace. He does not get rushed in anything he does on the ball. Edgecombe is also an explosive athlete, which makes the pace with which he plays even more useful. While yesterday he showed his ability to play off the ball, today, he showed comfort in creating offense on the ball.

Edgecombe is the No. 13 player in the 2024 On3 150. He finished with 19 points, going 6-for-6 from the free throw line.

6. Five-star SF Cooper Flagg (2025)

Cooper Flagg simply affects the game. In every aspect, on both ends of the floor, Flagg makes things happen. Already carrying the reputation as one of the best defensive players in high school basketball, his ability to slide his feet, play in the passing lanes, and act as a weak-side shot blocker make him a constant threat on that end.

Offensively, Flagg has shown a full skill set here. Yesterday, the 6-foot-8 wing finished plays. He was excellent in the mid-range, playing within two and three dribbles and getting to his spots in the half-court. Today, he played primarily on the ball, initiating sets, and allowed the offense to come to him. He moved the ball well, and made purposeful cuts off the ball.

Flagg is currently the No. 2 player in the 2025 On3 75. He finished with 26 points and 10 rebounds for the third session.

7. Four-star PF Tyler McKinley (Cincinnati)

Tyler McKinley did the things you want big men to do. The Cincinnati commitment was excellent as a screener, finishing in traffic as the roll man, and he rebounded at a high rate.

Two aspects of his game stood out, his ability to run the floor, and his ability to pass. McKinley transitioned ends, from defense to offense quickly. When he played as his team’s five-man, he finished multiple buckets simply by beating his man down the floor. His passing was intriguing as well, both facing the basket and playing on the block.

McKinley is the No. 62 player in the 2024 On3 150. He finished his Session three game with 16 points and 15 rebounds.

8. Four-star SG Darryn Peterson (2025)

Darryn Peterson’s thing is his scoring. He has an excellent feel for the game, able to get to his spots and finish at multiple angles, from multiple levels on the court.

In this setting, Peterson showed capable of playing on the ball and creating opportunities. He touched the paint in the half-court here and moved the ball well. Along with his scoring, the on ball pressure he provided was effective. Peterson finished with a game high four steals, moving his feet at the point-of-attack in the open floor.

Peterson is the No. 7 ranked player in the 2025 On3 Industry Ranking. He finished with 15 points and three assists during Session 3 and 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists on 11-for-17 from the field during Session 4.

Other notables

Four-star SF Rakease Passmore (Combine Academy/NC) is a high-flying wing prospect, capable of playing way above the rim both in the half and the full court. He was at his best in transition, sprinting the lanes, but he also did well slashing in the half-court.

You first notice the size of four-star C JT Rock (Sioux Falls Lincoln/SD). The Iowa State commitment is listed at 7-foot-1 and 250 pounds. You see that he has good hands and nice touch; he has knocked down an array of off-balance middies.

Five-star C Aiden Sherrell (Prolific Prep/CA) has a great frame with good length and athletic fluidity. He has a nice offensive skill base that allows him to finish routinely over his left shoulder but also step out to knock down pick-and-pop threes.

It is hard not to nice G Darius Acuff (Cass Prep/MI) when he is on the floor. The ball is in his hands often and he is playing his best in the pick and roll. The shots were plentiful and he went through spurts where he made them. His feel for scoring in the pick-and-roll is intriguing. He finished with 30 points, going 14-for-28 from the field.

View All

Four-star PF Bryson Tiller (Overtime Elite/GA) is such a physical presence. He is at his best fifteen feet from the basket, and he is productive finishing around the rim in traffic and rebounding.

The intrigue with four-star SF Marcus Allen (Norland High/FL) comes from his ability to defend. Even in this setting, his long arms and athletic twitch make him a tough matchup, as he has the athleticism to move his feet with lead guards, and he has the strength and length to bang with forwards.

Four-star PF Tyler McKinley (Link Academy/MO) runs the floor extremely well. That is where he made his biggest impression here. He finished well in traffic , showed great hands, and was a good screener. The little things as a big are very valuable.

Four-star SF Drake Powell (Northwood High/NC) makes his name as a connective piece. In this one, he was able to get to his elbow jumper and knock them down. Powell rebounds well and he is a tough defender, able to guard up and down a lineup.

Five-star C Flory Bidunga (Kokomo High/IN) is an explosive athlete. The lefty moves in a way that other 6-foot-10 don’t. He caught the best dunk of the event, going cehst-to-chest with an opposing 7-footer. He rebounds it well, he defends well, and he finishes – with authority – above the rim.

Four-star PF Derik Queen (Montverde/FL) is so talented on the block. He has excellent footwork with great touch over both shoulders. Queen is very strong and he knows how to use his body, he is also an excellent passer with great floor vision.

Four-star PG Jeremiah Fears (East Joliet/IL) plays with so much confidence. While he is a primary ball handler for his team, he is creating space, scoring the ball at at each level.

Four-star C James Brown (Link Academy/MO) played with a great motor. You walk away appreciating the stuff he was able to do around the rim, on both ends of the floor. He also stepped out to knock down a three, and looked comfortable doing so.

Four-star SG Isaiah Evans (North Mecklenburg/NC) is a shot-maker. With being a shot-maker comes some games where the shots simply are not falling. The Duke commitment did not let a 2-for-7, 4-point first game get him down, knocking down 28 points in his second game of the day. Shooters shoot.

Four-star PG Curtis Givens (Montverde Academy/FL) plays steady. He is a tough-minded lead guard who uses great pace to get into the paint and he makes shots at each level of the floor. He is someone you trust with the ball in his hands.

Five-star SG Meleek Thomas (Lincoln Park/PA) has an electric aspect to his game as a capable ball handler and a confident shot maker. He defended the point of attack well and made shots. Typical Meleek Thomas performance.

Five-star PF Cameron Boozer (Columbus High/FL) plays with one emotion, very even keeled throughout the course of a game. He did a lot of things on the ball here, initiating offense and getting his team into sets. He is a strong rebounder and an adept scorer. Substance over sizzle. He finished the second game with 26 points and 16 rebounds.

It seems that everytime I looked up, 2026 F Tyran Stokes (Prolific Prep/CA) was getting out in transition and attacking the rim. He is aggressive in the passing lanes and explosive around the rim.

Three-star SG Robert Hinton (Harvard-Westlake/CA) provided a steady presence on both ends of the floor. He scored the ball efficiently, at each level, and the Harvard commitment was a good team defender.

Four-star PF Morez Johnson (Thornton High/IL) has done a great job of carving out his spot this camp. He picks his spots and does not attempt to do things he cannot do. He is a strong presence around the rim, rebounded in traffic, and the Illinois commitment confidently shot a couple threes.

Four-star PG Tahaad Pettiford (Hudson Catholic/NJ) is capable of getting his shot off in any setting. He has a quick and crafty handle, and the Auburn commitment plays with the utmost confidence on the ball.

Five-star SF Jalen Haralson (Fishers High/IN) is capable of padding a statsheet, and that might be his most attractive quality. Whether his team needed a made shot, a rebound, or a defensive stop, Haralson was capable of making the play.

Four-star CG Jaeden Mustaf (Combine Academy/NC) is an aggressive point-of-attack player. He touched the paint often, absorbing contact, and he guarded multiple positions. You like the swiss-army-knife nature to his game.
