Pangos Jr. All-American: Best Wings

<p>LONG BEACH — The 14th annual Pangos Junior All-American Camp continued its tradition as one of the premier middle school exposure events in the country. The 2026 edition featured more than 140 players from 14 states and Canada for the two-day event. We were in attendance Sunday for the Best of the Best and Future Stars games and below are the wing prospects who stood out.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Blaise Grays | 2030 | Houston (TX)</h4>   <p>Grays flashed an intriguing combination of size, length and vertical athleticism that led to him being a versatile two-way impact player. The 6-foot-3 wing was best as a slasher and finisher in transition or downhill driver in half-court situations where he used his physical and athletic tools, along with his savvy footwork and soft touch, to score around the rim. Grays only missed one shot from the field en route to 10 points in the Best of the Best game.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2780604' first='Braylin' last='Calhoun'] | 2031 | Munising (MI)</h4>   <p>The phrase "jack-of-all-trades" is the easiest and best way to describe Calhoun whose no-nonsense and no-fluff approach to the camp helped him stand out as one of the more promising prospects in the event. The long, wiry and mobile 6-foot-4 wing kept his game very simple offensively as he attacked the rim in straight lines, knocked down the open catch-and-shoot three and made plays for himself and teammates. Calhoun's physical and athletic tools allowed him to defend multiple positions and rebound in and out of his area. The seventh grade prospect earned the nod for Co-Overall Camp MVP and had 17 points and five rebounds in the Best of the Best game.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Jayden Jones | 2030 | Burbank (CA)</h4>   <p>Jones had one of the more impressive all-around stat-lines of the Best of the Best game where he finished with 15 points, nine rebounds and six assists. The 6-foot-4 wing is a fluid athlete with a tight handle on the ball, great feel as a transition playmaker and scorer and made the right play on the break more often than not. Jones was at his best when driving to his right hand where he used his length and touch to score at the rim or draw a foul and get to the free throw line where he connected on all six of his shots from the charity stripe.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Jordan Fang | 2030 | Irvine (CA)</h4>   <p>Fang was all energy and hustle in the 8th grade Future Stars game and that resulted in him benefitting on high percentage shots around the basket on a drop-off pass, transition rim-run or offensive rebound put-back. The 6-foot-1 wing didn't get a ton of touches or isolations in the half-court setting so he brought out his willingness to do the intangible things to impact the game.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Justn Cato, Jr. | 2030 | Southfield (MI)</h4>   <p>Cato possesses a blend of physical and athletic tools that you don't often see from a middle school prospect. The 6-foot-3 wing has a well-built frame that allowed him to overwhelm defenders with his physicality to the rim and he also showed explosiveness as a vertical athlete and above the rim finisher in transition and on drives in the half-court. Cato is more than just a physical and athletic prospect as he flashed a smooth jumper from mid-range and three-point levels of the floor. He finished with 13 points in the Best of the Best game.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Lesly Stclou | 2030 | Riverview (FL)</h4>   <p>Stclou is teetering between the combo guard and wing skill-set due to him being such an aggressive and effective driver and finisher in transition and half-court settings. At 6-feet-1 with a wiry-strong frame, Stclou used his first step burst and ability to stay on balance through perimeter bumps and at-rim contact to score on high percentage finishes. The Florida-native is a prospect to track with special attention to how his perimeter game grows. Stclou had nine points on 4-for-5 from the field and grabbed four rebounds in the Future Stars game.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Tresor Childress | 2030 | Phoenix (AZ)</h4>   <p>Childress has an ease about his athleticism that is out of the ordinary for an 8th grade prospect. He's both smooth and explosive and uses that to his advantage in transition where he can rise up and finish above the rim as a lob threat and off of his own dribble-drive opportunity. The 6-foot-5 wing has broad shoulders and a wiry frame to build on and showed plenty of perimeter skill with the ability to break a defender down in isolation and knock down an off-bounce jumper from distance or in the mid-range.</p>
