Pangos All-East Frosh/Soph Camp: Top 30 NY/NJ Eye-Catchers

The 2025 Pangos All-East Frosh/Soph Camp was held in Wilmington, DE this year as prospects ranging the 2028, 2029, and 2030 classes from 16 states were in attendance. Included in the group were some names that will be nationally coveted in the coming 12-16 months and in the Top 30 Cream of the Crop game, a handful of prospects from New York and New Jersey made their mark.    One of the more gifted and explosive prospect in a pool that had plenty to high-end talent. Johnson got to his left hand attacking closeouts or in transition, gained a head of steam, and exploded off his right leg for over a handful of impressive dunks throughout Sunday. Since middle school, Johnson has been known for that explosive athletic ability and dominated at with consistency because of it. While he still flashes those spurts of dominance, Johnson gave plenty of examples of improved touch with his jumper. Defenders are quick to adjust to his first step by giving him space. As a result, Johnson knocked down a few shots from beyond the arc as well as a few mid-range pull-ups off the bounce with balance.     There's no other way to explain Proudfoot's scoring ability than cold-blooded. His skillset is based off fundamentals and give his strong frame and base that he taps into, the 6-foot-1 lead guard doesn't have issues getting to his spots without having to use a ton of flash. Going against longer, more athletic defenders at a camp like this allowed his fundamentals to shine even brighter with the use of jabs, shot fakes, and change-of-pace dribbles to draw contact and force the ref's whistle.     Mojica comes with an intriguing combination of size, skill, and creativeness on the ball that many others couldn't imitate. Mojica can use his burley frame to overpower the more finesse players that match up against him to get where he needs on drives or create angles that results in scores or passing windows. He's able to process the defense with precision off the live bounce and see teammates on the weakside for open shots, but is especially effective on those drives initiating the bump and scoring through the harm. That size and frame come into play with his versatility on the defensive end as well. He has the instincts to play angles correctly against shiftier wings and brings the physicality to bang with opposing bigs inside if he has to guard up a position or two.     What stood out to me most about Hamilton on Sunday was simply how hard he played. There were maybe 3-to-4 other players who matched his effort and intensity on both ends and each of those players stood out among the rest. Add the fact that Hamilton is a 6-foot-6 Swiss army knife and poses as a scoring threat from all three levels on the floor and it resulted in impact performances for his squad. His athleticism shined bright in the open floor where he finished above the rim with authority. He constantly switched defensively and did so with competence and that competitive edge that he brought spread throughout those he shared the court with. Hamilton is just scratching the surface of who can become.     A 6-foot-3 guard who brings a balanced overall skillset, Bird was awarded co-MOP honors in the top-60 contest to qualify for the final two openings in the top-30 game. Bird boasts plus length for his size that allows him to establish passing windows that most players his height can't create. He had a good feel of playing within the flow of the game and oftentimes was rewarded for his consistency in running the lanes wide to finish lay-ups in transition.
