Pangos All-American Camp: Eye Catchers

The 2026 Pangos All-American Camp delivered plenty of noise, but these seven prospects stood out to me with not just their skill, but also their efficiency and unselfishness.    Terry "Trey" McKinney III finished within the top five of the entire camp in assists for the event (5.3 APG) and his team made it to the championship game with him as the leading point-forward. In a camp full of isolations, he stood out to me by the decisiveness of all the reads he made in pick & roll as the ball handler. Defensively, he was everywhere guarding all positions and ranked sixth in the camp at 2 steals per game. The Millennium SF showcased his insane athletic ability and his improved outside shot-making as well.     Aaron proves time and time again that he is one of the most efficient scorers in the country. He finished in the top four in scoring with 17.7 PPG at a 56% clip (54.2% from 3); something that is becoming the norm for the sharpshooter. Nonetheless, he still finished with 3 assists per game, showcasing his IQ to find his teammates when defenses begin to key in on him. Defensively, he averaged 1.7 steals per game and showed improvement in taking bumps and staying in front of quicker guards; a testament to his work in the weight room.     Tyler's athleticism was on full display all event, from blowing by defenders in the blink of an eye, to throwing down dunks in transition that looked effortless. Although, what caught my eye was how stagnant his team's offense was when he was out the game. Tyler's quick decision making and pace kept everything in flow and when he was off the ball, he was kept the floor spaced and timed his cuts perfectly to get easy lay ups. His jump shot off the dribble showed improvement and his defense was strongly aggressive, even against bigger guards.     Noah was as aggressive as anybody else in this highly talented camp and made sure he put all parts of his game on display. He started with playing off the ball, showcasing his ability to keep the floor spaced and was always shot ready, knocking down shots in both the deep and short corner. He also got several captivating dunks in transition. When he was on-ball, he displayed his ball handling and passing abilities, making some great drop off dimes to his bigs; timing their cuts during his drives perfectly every time.     Josh was one of the very few players I watched, that never changed his pace unless it was on his own accord. He was always patient and got everything within flow of the game. Everything he did was highly efficient from the timing of his cuts, to his drives off the rip through, or even just understanding when a catch & shoot shot is the best shot to get. The 6'6 2027 prospect shot a whopping 68% from the field, including 67% from 3 and got everything he wanted in less than three dribbles. Every part of Josh's game translates to the next level and his athleticism is elite to add a cherry-on-top with everything he brings to the table.     Kur Lual is as efficient as they come. In the first game on the first day, he scored an event high 29 points on 9 for 15 shooting. He was the leading scorer for the entire event, averaging 22 per game shooting just above 50% from the field. the 6'8" guard is a natural basketball player with a game that translates beyond his years. He put his IQ on both ends in full display throughout the event, being a willing passer without sitting on the ball too long on offense. Defensively, he proved to be as aggressive of an on-ball defender as anybody without committing "silly" fouls and used his wingspan and stride to make it tough on opposing ball handlers to dribble and pass. I really enjoyed watching Kur throughout this Pangos camp.     After missing this entire past season due to pneumonia and losing 22 pounds from it, Cam was excellent in this Pangos camp and made it into the top 60 game. He was efficient with his shot attempts and playmaking, keeping everything balanced while taking great care of the ball. He was tremendous on the glass, even securing the game winning rebound in the final game of the weekend. There is a lot to like about Cam's game and it's great to see him back on the floor putting his versatility on full display.
