No. 24 pick Nique Clifford gave Kings fans plenty to be excited about with his play in NBA Summer League. 15.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 2.0 steals per game on 46% from deep, helping Sacramento to a 5-1 record in Vegas.
Brooklyn Nets No. 8 pick Egor Dëmin shot the leather off the ball at NBA Summer League, knocking down 10 of 23 three-pointers across three games in Vegas.
Mason Collins of Team CP3 made a strong impression at Peach Jam. Smooth operator with impressive pace, poise, processing, and patience for a young 6’6” guard who doesn’t turn 16 until August. Also uses his length and awareness well on the defensive end.
Kyshawn George made a lot of plays in just two games of NBA Summer League. Promising asset budding in Washington. Fits the mold of the connective two-way wing all 30 NBA teams covet. Long, skilled, cerebral, defends, and shoots it. Has improved athletically since college.
Got my first extended look at rising southpaw wing Bryson Howard this past week in Augusta. Easy to see why blue-chip programs have started calling. Tough, competitive, and a prolific shooter who shot 45% from deep this summer in the EYBL on high volume.
Enjoyed watching Marcus Spears Jr. compete this week at Peach Jam. The 16-year-old forward brings unwavering energy on both ends. That, along with his size and instincts, gives him significant potential to grow into long-term.
15-year-old AJ Williams displayed a promising foundation of ball skills, shotmaking, passing, and defense this week in Augusta. The 6-6 wing has now led GA Stars to back to-back Peach Jam titles. Long journey ahead, but tracking early as one of the top prospects in c/o 2028.
Heart, grit, toughness. Whatever it is, Jordan Smith Jr has it. The 5-star, 17-year-old guard just willed Team Takeover to a resilient win over Pro Skills with dozens of high-major coaches and NBA personnel courtside. Insatiable motor.
Brandon McCoy Jr. has been dominant through two games of Peach Jam group play. Looks hungry after U19s. Exploded for 38 points yesterday and was everywhere today. Shooting the leather off the ball. Step backs and spot-ups. Elusive finishes. Disrupting defensively and putting…
Excited to get an updated look at Obinna Ekezie Jr. this morning in North Augusta at Nike Peach Jam. The versatile 7-footer is one of the most talented big men prospects in high school basketball.
Great to get an updated look at Compton Magic’s Bruce Branch III in Rock Hill. The 16-year-old wing is tracking as the premier long-term prospect in HS basketball. So smooth, long, and skilled. Crisp movements. Sharp trajectory. 7-foot-1 wingspan.
Day 2 in Rock Hill, SC for the Adidas 3SSB Palmetto Road Championships.

This is a ridiculous live-dribble, full-court, left-handed pass by Mikel Brown Jr. He's done a terrific job pushing the tempo for Team USA throughout group play.
Louisville’s Mikel Brown Jr. has been the catalyst for Team USA so far at the U19 World Cup. He’s playing with tremendous pace, creating for others, burning the nets from deep (14/26), and bringing real intensity on the defensive end.
