EYBL\u2019s Peach Jam, arguably the top high school basketball event of the summer, is fully underway. Nike sponsored teams from around the country gathered in North Augusta, SC to play hoops all day long. Here are your top performers out of the games I watched. <\/p>\n
Tyran Stokes<\/a><\/strong> is one of those dudes and he knows it. At 6-foot-7 and 225+ pounds, his athleticism is freaky. His strength and speed allows him to get to the rim with ease and he\u2019s an underrated passer. His three point shot is continuing to improve, knocking in several today. The passing ability is an impressive aspect of the Louisville native\u2019s game. Stokes is in the class of 2026, but has a very mature game.<\/p>\n Meleek Thomas<\/a><\/strong> is an elite scoring guard with excellent change of pace. A very confident player. Thomas, a Five-Star Plus+ prospect, is an absolute bucket-getter. He played in front of Dan Hurley, Nate Oats, Bill Self, John Calipari and others today.<\/p>\n AJ Dybantsa<\/a><\/strong> is arguably the top prospect in all of high school basketball. At 6-foot-8, the Oakland Soldiers wing can do a little bit everything, and he makes it look easy. He\u2019s shifty with the ball in his hands and can create his own shot. The upside is through the roof. Dybantsa has the entire country recruiting him, but he\u2019s visited Auburn, BYU, and USC (old staff.)<\/p>\n Cameron Boozer<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s middle name should be \u2018consistency\u2019. It\u2019s not super flashy, but he is a dude that just gets things done. His game continues to expand as he gets more and more comfortable with the ball in his hands on the perimeter and with his three point shot. You can expect 20 and 10 from him each and every time he steps on the floor. Duke, Miami, Florida, and others are recruiting him. <\/p>\n Jalen Haralson<\/a><\/strong> is a very versatile player at 6-foot-6. He can act as a point guard when needed and is a skilled passer. The Indiana native has a sturdy, college ready frame. He can heat up quickly and has established himself as one of the top scorers on the circuit. Haralson is being pursued by Indiana, Notre Dame, Auburn, Michigan State, and others. <\/p>\n Jasper Johnson<\/a><\/strong> caught fire from deep in the early going. He was taking his shots confidently and they were falling. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard is also a better passer than people give him credit for. Can also get to the cup. A lot of upside.\u00a0Kentucky, Alabama, North Carolina, and others are recruiting him. <\/p>\n Darius Acuff <\/a><\/strong>got off to a slow start, but made up for it as the game went on. The 6-foot-1 point guard from The Family was knocking down shots from deep and making some crisp passes. Acuff, a five-star recruit and Detroit native, had Arkansas\u2019 John Calipari, Kansas\u2019 Bill Self, and Michigan\u2019s Dusty May watching him this morning. He\u2019s nearing a decision and this appears to be shaping up to a battle between Kansas and Arkansas.\u00a0<\/p>\n Chris Nwuli<\/a><\/strong> is a junkyard dog type. He plays the game with an edge. A little underrated for a power forward at around the 6-6, 6-7 range, he makes up for it with his competitiveness and activity on the boards and putbacks. Also showed he can step out and knock down a shot from deep.<\/p>\n Dante Allen<\/a><\/strong> is one of those dudes you want on your team. He plays with a high motor, strong and tough, more athletic than you think and has a knack for scoring the basketball. A winning type of player. He\u2019s being pursued by Villanova, Notre Dame, and others. <\/p>\n Acaden Lewis<\/a><\/strong> is incredibly crafty with the ball in his hands. A true leader, the 6-foot-3 point guard from Team Durant has excellent feel for the game and can also get a bucket when needed. He played in front of\u00a0UConn\u2019s Danny Hurley, Auburn\u2019s Bruce Pearl, North Carolina\u2019s Hubert Davis, Tennessee\u2019s Rick Barnes, Syracuse\u2019s Red Autry, Virginia\u2019s Tony Bennett, Michigan\u2019s Dusty May and a Kentucky and Duke assistant.<\/p>\n Caleb Wilson<\/a><\/strong> has major long-term upside. The 6-foot-9 power forward continues to be productive and is playing with a toughness and a confidence about him. He\u2019s really versatile and has gotten stronger this spring and summer. Arkansas\u2019 John Calipari, Tennessee\u2019 Rick Barnes, and several others watched him today. <\/p>\n Tyshawn Duncan<\/strong> had a breakout game today for LivOn (LA). The 6-8, 16-year-old is incredibly active around the rim. He\u2019s an ultra competitor, can really protect the rim, and plays with a toughness. He\u2019s a bit limited now offensively, but don\u2019t be surprised to see him add several offers this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n Trey McKenney<\/a><\/strong> has a strong and college ready body. The 6-4 shooting guard can get to his spots and really score it. Really strong feel for the game. McKenney played in front of\u00a0Michigan State\u2019s Tom Izzo, Georgetown\u2019s Ed Cooley, Michigan\u2019s Dusty May, USC\u2019s Eric Musselman, Notre Dame\u2019s Micah Shrewsberry, Oregon\u2019s Dana Altman, Miami\u2019s Jim Larranaga, and Rutgers\u2019 Steve Pikiell.<\/p>\n Kendre Harrison<\/a><\/strong> is a man amongst boys. At 6-foot-6, and 250 pounds, the rising junior as difficult to stop around the rim. Very explosive. A top-recruit in football as well, Harrison would like to play both sports in college.\u00a0North Carolina, NC State, and others watched him today.<\/p>\n Cole Cloer <\/a><\/strong>is coming off an injury but played very well. Standing at around 6-7, he\u2019s a really good shooter. More athletic than you think. NC State\u2019s Kevin Keatts, North Carolina\u2019s Hubert Davis, and others watched him today.\u00a0<\/p>\n Amari Evans<\/a><\/strong> had a strong performance today. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard is a terrific defender, has toughness, and he\u2019s taking his shot more confidently. He\u2019s also aggressive getting downhill. Does a lot of winning things. A lot to like.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tajh Ariza<\/a><\/strong> had a strong performance today. He\u2019s still putting it all together, but its very apparent the upside is truly there. He can handle the ball when needed and showed he can score it in bunches. A high flyer. <\/p>\n The post EYBL Peach Jam: Saturday\u2019s Top Performers<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EYBL\u2019s Peach Jam, arguably the top high school basketball event of the summer, is fully…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60696"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60718,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60696\/revisions\/60718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}2.
