Pangos All-American Camp: Overall top performers

Las Vegas, Nevada – The Pangos All-American Camp brought together some of the nation’s top high school talent to compete under one roof. NBA scouts were in attendance as well as select media, to watch the fireworks.

On3 was on hand to take in the action. Here are the top performers from the week.

On3 MVP: Five-star C Flory Bidunga

From start to finish, Kokomo (IN) High center Flory Bidunga was a force to be reckoned with. Not only is it the explosion and the power that he plays with, but it is his non-stop motor, even in a camp all-star-style setting, that sets him apart.

Listed at 6-foot-10, the No. 4 player in the 2024 On3 150 was the highest-ranking prospect in attendance. Everyone in the camp knew his name, and every matchup gave him their best. Bidunga averaged 13.0 points and 8.2 rebounds throughout the camp. He also shot 81.2 percent from the field (a lot of traffic dunks) with 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals. He also showed some development on the blocks, looking comfortable over his right shoulder and passing away from the double team.

In camp settings like this, it can be tough for bigs to get into their groove with guards and transition play dominating the games. It was hard to keep Bidunga out of the action on either end of the floor.

2. Four-star PG Rob Wright (Baylor)

In a camp that was dominated by guards, Baylor commitment Rob Wright was the one who put constant pressure on the defense. Wright lived in the paint throughout camp, forcing the defense to adjust and rotate.

When in the paint, Wright put on a nice scoring display, finishing with an array of floaters and multi-angled layups. A smaller guard, the Montverde (FL) Academy PG was able to use a crafty change of pace along with a tricky handle to keep his man off balance. His footwork and balance were both consistent on the ball, and he used the threat of his three-point range to have defenders press up on him, leaving them vulnerable to the blow-by.

Wright led the camp in scoring at 27.8 per game. He also added 4.6 assists showing his ability to make plays in the teeth of the defense.

3. Four-star SG Cam Scott

Cam Scott, along with the aforementioned Flory Bidunga, were awarded Pangos All-American Cam Co-MVP awards. The lengthy 6-foot-5 wing from Lexington (SC) High showcased an impressive set of shotmaking skills that had him playing high-percentage basketball.

Scott, who is the No. 19 ranked player in the updated 2024 On3 150, shot the three ball consistently, knocking down 56 percent of his attempts on the week. He also finished with explosion around the basket. This is the same type of scoring onslaught we have become accustomed to seeing from the two-time South Carolina 5A All-State and the South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year recipient.

The four-star shooting guard averaged 23.0 points on 65.7 percent shooting from the field and 56 percent shooting from three on 4.8 makes per game.

4. Four-star SF Rakease Passmore

Rakease Passmore really took off – literally and figuratively – this high school pre-season. The Lincolnton (NC) Combine Academy wing, who is listed at 6-foot-5, was seemingly adding multiple offers every day. His play and development landed him at No. 58 in the most recent 2024 On3 150 ranking.

Passmore came to the Pangos All-American Camp with a chip on his shoulder. He shot the ball at a very high clip, something that, after shooting 17.1 percent from three this summer, he needed to show consistency with. The high-flying Passmore shot a promising 54 percent from three here on 3.3 makes per game. The shots were coming off movement, with his feet set, and off the bounce. The form and balance both looked good, along with the confidence.

5. Four-star PG Tahaad Pettiford (Auburn)

There is an electricity to Tahaad Pettiford’s game. The lefty from Jersey City (NJ) Hudson Catholic has a burst and plays with a quick-twitch handle that gets him to his spots. When he is attacking downhill and looking to get into the teeth of the defense, Pettiford’s play can be very exciting.

Pettiford is also able to create space off the bounce, able to get into his jump shot from an array of footwork maneuvers. While finishing in traffic and creating opportunities for his teammates remain question areas for Pettiford, in this setting, the Auburn commitment was able to play to every one of his strengths. He averaged 20.2 points on 51 percent shooting from three with 4.8 makes per game.

6. Four-star CG Labaron Philon

The efficiency Labaron Philon plays with is hard to ignore. Even in a setting like this, where few set plays are being run, and there are a lot of ill-advised shots being taken, the poise Philon plays with is steady.

Listed at 6-foot-4, the lengthy Philon was comfortable as a scorer or a table-setter. He was efficient in both roles, playing within himself, and especially impressive in the pick-and-roll here. While Philon may not have as much burst as others at his position, his natural feel for the game stands out. In his last EYBL Session, Memphis, Philon dished out 21 assists to only two turnovers. Here he averaged 17.4 points and 4.8 rebounds on 47 percent shooting from three. For what he may lack in sizzle, there is a lot of substance.

7. Three-star SF Larry Johnson

There is a dynamic piece to Larry Johnson’s game that really shines in settings like this. Listed at 6-foot-4, he is a lengthy and highly-explosive wing that excels in transition. Johnson put on a vertical display throughout camp, finishing high above the rim. There was a burst in traffic and an ability to shoot the gaps in the passing lanes to make plays.

Like many of the others in this camp, Johnson shot the ball well, knocking down 44 percent of his threes on 3.0 makes per game. This is an improvement over the 18.8 percent he is shooting on Nike’s EYBL Circuit. This was a dynamic showing for Johnson, one to watch closely if he is able to build upon.

8. Four-star PF Ryan Jones Jr.

With all the shooting that was going on in camp, Ryan Jones might have been the best of them all. Listed at 6-foot-8, the power forward has a big and strong frame which caused other team’s bigs to guard him. They simply could not close out in time, creating a mismatch when his feet were set off the catch.

Jones has questions on the defensive end as he lacks vertical pop, but he does well rebounding his area and can really stretch the floor, knocking down 4.5 threes per game on the weekend. Jones also averaged 6.5 rebounds, which is where his long arms and strong hands came into play. He has an intriguing game with some very real positives that he was able to showcase this week.

9. Four-star SG Mercy Miller (Houston)

Mercy Miller stood out across the board this week. The 6-foot-4 guard from Sherman Oaks (CA) Notre Dame Prep has always played on teams where he has not been the featured player. His freshman year was at Minnehaha Prep with Jalen Suggs, his sophomore season at Oak Hill, and now his junior season at Notre Dame Prep with Caleb Foster and Dusty Stromer. Miller has been able to perfect his role as a connective player, capable of handling, shooting, and passing for success.

Miller, the son of Master P, is an efficient player. As a guard, he is an excellent rebounder and a very instinctive defender. Along with his 23.3 points, the Houston commitment shot 56 percent from three on 3.8 makes and dished out 3.0 assists to 1.0 turnovers per game. He looked comfortable being an alpha at the Pangos All-American Camp.

10. Four-star SG Hudson Greer

One look on the court for a Hudson Greer game, and it was easy to see him playing high above the rim. The 6-foot-5 guard was able to showcase his explosive early and often throughout camp, making above-the-rim plays in transition and in the half-court. His ability at the rim was part of the reason why he shot 62 percent from the field in the camp. The other part of that was that he also shot over 40 percent from three.

Greer, the No. 47 player in the 2025 On3 75, is coming off of a good Dallas EYBL Session with the Pro Skills program that saw him average 14.5 points on 78 percent shooting from the field. Greer will need to continue getting stronger and improve his floor vision, but he comes from a basketball family with multiple D1 hoopers, which projects well moving forward.

Other Standouts

*It was the floor vision that stood out for four-star PG Jase Richardson (Bishop Gorman/NV). He was never rushed, even in a kamikaze-type setting, and seemed to consistently deliver passes on target and on time.

*Four-star SG Kon Knueppel (Wisconsin Lutheran/WI) is a high-level scorer. He showed at Pangos he was able to get to his spots without structure, using feel and footwork. He scored in the mid-range and moved well off the ball.

*You see the frame on four-star SF Tounde Yessoufou (St. Joseph’s/CA) immediately. He has long arms and a strong build, but he also has court awareness. He is a good team defender and can attack the rim, in straight lines, from multiple spots in the half-court.

*Four-star SG Vyctorius Miller (AZ Compass/AZ) has a nice connective game. At 6-foot-4, he is able to handle, shoot, and pass in the half-court. This enables him to make sound decisions on the ball. He is at his best when surrounded with talent; his 22.0 points and 4.6 assists showed comfort in being the alpha.

*Four-star SF Derrion Reid (Grovetown High/GA) has had a breakout EYBL season. The 6-foot-7 wing has averaged almost 18.0 points while shooting 38.7 percent from three. While his numbers did not live up to those standards, within his 12.5 points on 46 percent three-point shooting, he did show some ridiculous explosion with intriguing defensive upside.

*Four-star SG Jackson Keith (Southern Durham/NC) is a scorer. A wing who is comfortable at multiple levels on the floor to work himself to his spots and make some shots. It took a game or two for Keith to get comfortable in this setting, but his long arms, footwork, and touch were able to be showcased in the latter part of the camp.

*This was my first live viewing of 2025 C Moustapha Thiam (DME Academy/FL), and it was impressive. It is obvious Thiam is still raw; however, the flashes were ones I walked away talking about. He is a legit footer with great length, but it is his ability to move that catches your eye. He has touch, he has vision, and he showed some feel. Monitor moving forward as he continues to play more game reps and build confidence.

*It was the shooting that shoot out for four-star SG Darius Adams (Manasquan/NJ). He has good positional size and excellent balance off the catch.

*Four-star SF Drake Powell (Northwood High/NC) is one of the better connector pieces in the 2024 class. The UNC commitment is a lengthy 6-foot-6 wing, and where he makes his mark is on defense. He competes and uses his excellent length and anticipation guarding on or off the ball. His handle is solid, able to get you into offense, and the three is streaky, but his mid-range shot from the elbows can be money.

*Four-star C Pape Ndiaye (Trinity International/NV) is raw, and there is no denying that. However, his ability to affect plays in his comfort zone is hard to be ignored. What I mean by that is that Ndiaye did a good job protecting the rim and rebounding his area.

*Four-star PF Pharaoh Compton (AZ Compass/AZ) is a relentless rebounder, especially on the offensive glass. He plays with length, strength, and explosion around the paint, and while his offensive game does not expand further than ten feet, what he does with the hustle plays lends to some winning basketball.

*This was the most aggressive I’ve seen four-star C James Brown (Link Academy/MO) play in a while. The UNC commitment attacked the basket in the half-court, having him catch multiple bodies at the rim. All in all, he finished with an efficient 14.6 points and 5.4 rebounds for the event. There is also upside as his body fills out with the fluidity he moves with.

*Four-star SG Jalil Bethea (Archbishop Wood/PA) was an opportunistic player in camp. He did not force anything but seemed to make the right play or take the right shot throughout. He is also good in the passing lanes and showed sneaky court vision and passing touch.

*Five-star PG Boogie Fland (Archbishop Stepinac/NY) was getting everyone’s best, and he still came out on top of most matchups. The 6-foot-3 guard shot the ball well, scored in the mid-range, and dished out assists, setting up teammates. 18.0 points on 35 percent from three with 5.5 assists to 1.8 turnovers on the week.

*Four-star SG Ahmad Nowell (Imhotep Charter/PA) does a lot of the little things on the floor. At 6-foot-0, he is comfortable with the ball in his hands, he can knock down a mid-range jumper, and he can guard the point of attack. Nothing is overly flashy, but there is a workmanlike effort to his game that is hard to ignore.

*Three-star SG Nate Guerengomba (South Kent/CT) is a strong-framed wing who has a penchant for continuing to come right at his opponents. Not one part of his games sticks out, but the totality of his production will consistently catch your eye.
