Shaw's sights and sounds from Day 2 of Nike's Peach Jam

North Augusta, South Carolina – The stars came out in South Carolina. Day 2 of Nike’s Peach Jam saw the likes of Lebron James, Blake Griffin, Carmelo Anthony, and Russell Westbrook in the stands. However, they were all there to see the next generation of stars.

On3’s National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw was also in the stands watching. Here are his top performers from Day 2 of Nike’s Peach Jam.

The best performance I saw today

Cooper Flagg. It was as smooth a 29-point, 12-rebound, 8-block performance as one could have. While the blocks were very loud and in your face, the rest of the game was simply within the flow.

Flagg is a lengthy 6-foot-8 forward. His defensive instincts are as good as any player in high school basketball. His offensive fluidity always seems to make the right play, whether it be taking a ball coast to coast or pitching ahead and trailing the play.

We recently called Flagg the top prospect in high school basketball, and he looked like that, and then some, on Day 2 of Peach Jam.

but the most dominant performance came from

Yves Missi. It was a very impressive 20-point and 17-rebound performance (he had a handful of blocked shots as well, but they didn’t keep that stat in this game). Missi was a terror around the basket. He scored over his left shoulder, ran the floor, and seemingly grabbed every available rebound.

This performance is the type we have come to expect from 2024’s No. 6 ranked player. At 6-foot-10, Missi moves in a way most bigs do not. He has excellent length with a burst of explosion. He rotates and moves well laterally with fluidity on the defensive end.

The motor is non-stop, and the dominating performances are becoming hard not to expect.

The most eye-opening performance was from

Dylan Harper. The 6-foot-5 lefty is starting to trend as one of the top guards in the 2024 class. There is something about this game that keeps growing on you. Maybe it’s all the wins, or maybe it’s his ability to make the right play seemingly every play for 32 minutes straight.

The NY Rens 16u guard finished with 14-points, 9-rebounds, and 5-assists. He had the ball in his hands for most of the game, especially down the stretch.

My long-term play of the day

Zayden High. Coming into the game, I decided to watch High through a different lens. Seeing what he is now, but looking more toward his trajectory of development in what he could become down the road. What we know about High is that he is an extremely fluid, 6-foot-10 forward who can shoot, run, and jump. He is also a player who has grown a good bit in recent years and is figuring things out.

On day 2 of Peach Jam High showed, things are coming together nicely. He finished with 13-points and 8-rebounds in 20-minutes before fouling out. He finished at the rim, through contact, and showed a genuine toughness competing around the basket. That is the next step for him, figuring out how to best toggle between the basket and perimeter.

While today there may be some inconsistencies in his performances, monitor one, two, three years down the line to see what High is then.

Today’s Production Monster

Amani Hansberry. Hansberry can be called gritty. Productive is another word that will get used. However it is you describe it, he puts up numbers. Hansberry has long arms, a wide body, and soft hands. He goes and gets the ball and seeks out contact on both ends of the floor.

Hansberry finished Day 2 of Peach Jam with a 23-point and 15-rebound performance that included the game-winning offensive rebound and put back as time expired. It’s no wonder numerous high major schools are after the top-150 post.
