Prep Hoops will have all access for the event starting with the first afternoon session on Thursday. This session consisted of drill work and a team practice ahead of the night games. Here are our 5 Best: Nike Elite 100 Afternoon Session!
5 Best
Kiyan Anthony (LuHi, NY – 2025)
Anthony is the son of future NBA Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony. He looked every bit the part of a top 50 player with his work in the drills. Played with pace, crashed the offensive glass, and got after it on D including a nice swat on a pull up J.
Kaden Magwood (Oak Hill, VA – 2025)
The lead guard from the east coast shot the cover off the ball in drill work. He was particularly effective from the corners with his quick and consistent release point. Like the frame, length, and athleticism here.
Nigel James Jr (Cushing Academy, MA – 2025)
James is a compactly built scoring lead guard that was assertive attacking the creases in the defense for scores in the paint. His strength allowed him to finish through contact with consistency. Also flashed some passing flair in the half court.
Davion Hannah (Nicolet, WI – 2025)
Hannah is a long and lean combo forward with explosive athleticism. That showed through with his slashing and thunderous dunks. Played with a good activity level and crashed the glass for second chance points.
Jayden Johnson (Trinity, KY – 2026)
Johnson is from Brad Beal Elite and the Kentucky native has a lot to work with in terms of his frame and skill combination. Couple nice turn around jumpers and blocked a shot in the mid-post area.
Competitive Group
I have done this camp since 2009 and sometime the first day can be really good or really bad on the effort part. Camp director Corey Alexander got a great effort out of the group in the drill work as they went hard and were enthusiastic.
