North Augusta, South Carolina – Many of the nation’s top high school basketball players came together in South Carolina to compete for Nike’s Peach Jam title. On3 was courtside with other pre-approved media and NBA Scouts to watch the talent.

Let’s discuss the top performers that I saw from day two of Peach Jam.

Peach Jam Schedule

On3 MVP: Five-star SG Tre Johnson

With one day in between playing in the third-place game of the FIBA u19 World Cup in Hungary, Tre Johnson showed up in South Carolina for a 31-point outburst.

Johnson has a projectable frame with excellent length. Where he excels is his footwork in the half-court. He gets to his spots off two and three dribbles and has an array of counters if he gets cut off. He has good touch and plays with great balance, no matter which level. Even as scoring was his first option, he showed solid passing ability with court vision.

Johnson is the No. 2 player in the 2024 On3 150. He finished with 31 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

2. SF Tyran Stokes (2026)

It was a pretty complete game that Tyran Stokes was able to put together. The 6-foot-7 class of 2026 small forward is a combustible and explosive player who really stretches his legs when he gets in transition.

While the dunks and the high-flying finishes are eye-opening, it might be his defensive instincts that really shined today. He finished the game with five steals and a handful more deflections. He played great angles and broke well on the ball. Offensively, Stokes made shots. He knocked down multiple catch-and-shoot jumpers along with a couple of two-dribble pull-ups.

Stokes had a wall filled with NBA scouts watching. On3 has not ranked the 2026 class yet; however, Stokes is trending toward the top of that class. He had a game-high 14 points while going 6-for-8 from the field.

3. Four-star C Jaden Toombs (2025)

Jaden Toombs knows his game, and there is a lot of value in that. The 6-foot-9 post player has a strong frame, and he plays with a great motor; that is where his value lies.

Toombs is a double-double machine. He does his work early on the boards and gobbles rebounds in his area. He has strong hands; once he corrals the ball, he rarely loses the handle. Offensively, he has great hands and good touch; he is able to absorb contact and finish around the rim. He is also comfortable knocking down pick-and-pop threes. You know what you will get from Toombs, and the production is consistent.

4. Four-star SG Darius Adams (2025)

Darius Adams is a noted shooter, and that is his reputation. Traditionally, when he has been making shots, it has opened up his game and made some things happen. Today was no different.

For starters, the jump shot was working. He has great balance, with good footwork coming off movement or the catch. He was also able to make plays against closeouts, get to the basket, or deliver timely passes. The shooting is the thing here, but his ability to process and make plays was very encouraging.

Adams is the No. 36 player in the recently updated 2025 On3 150. He finished with 20 points, going 7-for-11 from the field.

5. Four-star SF Isaiah Evans (Duke)

Isaiah Evans is a shot-maker, and that is his superpower. When he is making shots, she he is on; he is an uncanny ability to really pour it in from any angle, out to 28 feet.

Evans is playing good basketball right now, finding his groove and getting into his flow. The Duke commit is at his best working around in the half-court, playing within two dribbles and rising up to knock down shots. At 6-foot-7, Evans has great length with a very high release. His ability to stop on a dime and rise up to get square makes his shot very hard to block. It also enables him to get fouled a good bit.

Evans finished the game with 20 points, going 6-for-12 from the field. He is the No. 31 player in the 2024 On3 150.

6. Four-star C Patrick Ngongba

Down the stretch of a close game, Patrick Ngonba was at his best. Team Takeover was able to go to the 6-foot-10 center on the block and know that something would happen.

Ngonba has a strong frame with great length and very soft touch and hands. In the second half of the game, Ngongba showed comfort going over his left and right shoulder. When his go-to move would get cut off, he showed he was comfortable with his counters to get the look.

Ngongba finished with a team-high 12 points. While that number may not be super-impressive, the timing of his makes were. The No. 36 player in the 2024 On3 150 finished 6-for-8 from the field and also added 8 rebounds.

7. SG Kayden Allen (2026)

Kayden Allen has an excellent feel, and it was his instincts that really impressed today. Sure, the point total is impressive, but it was the efficient way he scored that really told the story.

Allen is a 6-foot-4 guard with long arms and a projectable frame. He moved very well off the ball, getting to open spots on the floor where he could receive the ball and make a play. He was aggressive when attacking the basket, and he knocked down the jump shot when it was open. This was my first live viewing of Allen, but I like the upside here.

Allen finished with 28 points, going 10-15 from the field and 3-4 from three.

8. Four-star SG Austin Swartz

At his core, Austin Swartz is a scorer. He is capable of creating space and rising up from anywhere within 30 feet of the basket. Early tonight, the shots were not falling. However, late in the game, when it became crunch time, Swartz not only made the shots, but he made plays.

View All

Swartz is a 6-foot-5 guard. he has long arms and more pop than you expect. His ability to shoot the ball is what the headlines will read, but his feel for creating space and getting clean looks is what makes him very interesting as a long-term prospect. Swartz also passed the ball very well today. When he saw the shot was not falling early, he threaded numerous passes off a live dribble, with either hand, to multiple levels with accuracy. It was an impressive offensive display but something that the EYBL Circuit has become accustomed to seeing from Swartz, who averaged 21.0 points and shot 37.2 percent from three during the regular season.

Swartz finished this one with 23 points and 6 assists in the come-from-behind win. He is ranked No. 28 in the 2024 On3 150.

Other notables

Four-star PF Morez Johnson (Meanstreets) does all the tough guy stuff you want your big man to do. The Illinois commit is an excellent rebounder, and he cleans up the dirty work around the basket. The blue-collar forward finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds in today’s win.

Four-star SF Drake Powell (CP3) did a good job playing within himself and letting the flow come to him. The UNC commit has been money with his two-dribble pull-up, going either way, getting himself into his comfortable mid-range game. Powell finished with 16 points on 6-for-11 from the field.

Four-star SG Hudson Greer (Pro Skills 16s) is explosive; that is the first thing you notice about him. He is well above the rim. But as the game wears on, you see the motor he plays with and his propensity for being in the right place.

Four-star SG Nojus Indrusaitis (Meanstreets) plays with a toughness that you can’t help but love. The Iowa State signee is a confident shot-taker with the ability to attack closeouts in straight lines. He had 11 points today in the win.

Three-star SF AJ Swinton (Boo Williams) dunked the ball with authority, and that was his thing in this one. He attacked the rim with a purpose and stayed active off the ball. He finished with 15 points on 7-for-10 from the field.

Four-star PG Darius Acuff (The Family) gave another intriguing performance where he showed the talent and showed the flashes, but he also was wildly inconsistent. He showed capable passing reads early as he got off to a great start, but he finished with 15 points on 24 shots and 5 turnovers.

Four-star SF Isaiah Abraham (Team Takeover) played well above the rim today. The high-flying wing attacked the basket in straight lines, with aggression. He had numerous dunks in the half-court, moving really well off the ball.

2026 CG Dhani Miller (Georgia Stars 15s) processes the game so well. He is never rushed and makes fantastic reads with the ball in his hands. The Montverde (FL) Academy guard has a strong frame, rebounds well, and knocked down shots. His 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists were very poised for a player so young.

Four-star PG Trent Perry (Vegas Elite) is such a calming presence, someone who always seems to make the right play. Nothing is really flashy about his game, but he puts the ball in the right situations, makes his shots, and does not turn the ball over. You trust him with the game on the line. He finished with 14 points and 5 rebounds.

2026 PG Brandon McCoy (AZ Unity 16s) has a smooth game that does not get sped up. Playing up in age, he was able to get into the paint with a crafty handle and had a great feel for rising up and making shots.

2026 PF Cameron Williams (Vegas Elite 15s) is all arms and legs right now, but you can see the upside as a player who developed as a guard and grew five to six inches in a short amount of time. The ball skill flashes and touch are still there as he continues to grow into his newfound body.

Three-star Kayden Mingo (PSA Cardinals 16s) makes tough guy plays. The 6-foot-1 guard got buckets at the rim, and he finished with double-figure rebounds. He finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists.
