The post JOHN LUCAS ALL-STAR WEEKEND appeared first on All Metro Hoops.

2024 Bryson McGlothin 6’7 WF (John Paul II) Plano, TX

He surprised me how well he could handle the ball and make plays for his teammates. He made good decisions and didn’t force many shots. He was very good at filling the lane on the breaks and finishing at the rim. I was impressed all camp by his versatility.

2026 Johnathan Moss 5’10 PG (Owensboro High) Owensboro, KY

A very high IQ point guard that can knock down the three ball consistently and knows how to get in the lane and make things happen. For his age he plays with a lot of poise. He can tend to get in trouble when thinks to much….simple plays are his friends.

2025 Jayden Jackson 5’10 PG (West Monroe High) West Monroe, LA

He’s a tough, quick point guard that can hit the open three. He had no problem handling physicality for his age. He’s getting better every time I have watched him play and love his progression, showing consistency is now his goal. Being a point guard means always being a leader and controlling the team.

2025 Shelton Henderson 6’6 F (Bellaire High) Houston, TX

The skies are the limit with Henderson….if he can extend those high level spurts into a quarter, half and games. He was one of the most talented players in the camp but those spurts weren’t prolonged or happened enough. There is nothing he can’t do from the wing position.

2025 Montana Wheeler 5’7 PG (Houston Christian) Houston, TX 

He was by far one of the most talented and gifted point guards in the camp. He has a sweet stroke and can get almost any shot he wants on the court. He tends to look more for his shot than getting his teammates involved. He has to do a better job of balancing both.

2026 Jarvis Pope 6’ G (Brandon Academy) Tampa, FL

The talented young man showed he belonged all weekend with the older players. He picked and chooses when to be aggressive and when to play his role. He concentrated mostly on defending. When called on offensively, he knocked down the open shots and got to the basket and finished.

2025 Tylan Lewis 6’1 G (Independence) Spring Hill, TN

He’s not a young player that will wow you from the door but the more you watch him play you understand he’s just a baller. He stays active on both ends and is very good at attacking the basket and making things happen. He’s an aggressive lead guard that needs to work on his pace. He made shots from deep but didn’t live in that space, showing he understands his game. His most dominant skill is his on ball defense. He was a pest all camp. He has great work ethic and look forward to seeing the growth in his game in the near future.

2025 Brandon Stores 6’4 G/F (St. Raymond’s) Bronx, NY

He’s just a baller. He rebounds, defends and was always playing with the ultimate effort on both ends. He may have not have done one thing great but he does a lot of things well. He scores the ball consistently and at a high percentage. He doesn’t take many bad shots and does most of his damage in the paint and around the basket.

2026 Landon Veal 6’6 WF (Cypress Park High) Cypress, TX

I was impressed with the young player and his potential. He’s bouncy and active and was great getting up and down the court, making things happen. He showed good touch on his jump shot. He’ll have to get stronger and more physical but that should come with work and age. There’s no denying his potential.

2023 Dyan Purnell 6’6 WF (TBA) Raleigh, NC

He attacks and likes getting to the rim and finishing. His shot didn’t look bad but was inconsistent when I watched him play. His effort is what mainly stood out to me. He just seemed to make winning plays. He doesn’t shy away from contact and it seemed at times he welcomed it. He’s just one of those players that help you win games.

2026 Peyton Kemp 5’11 G (Brother Rice) Clinton Township

A real strong and active guard. You can tell he’s used to playing with older kids and more then held his own. He has no problem getting to the basket and showed some good touch from mid-range but should work on extending his range. You can tell he was pressing some during camp. I like see him relax and just play his game.

2025 Cortez Graham 6’4 G (Hillsborough High) Nashville, TN

He was one of the young players I heard about but prior to the camp. I was impressed with his intensity and focus in drill work. That same intensity also carried over into games. He scored at all levels. He was physical when he had to be. He played very hard but under control. He seemed to be in camp with a purpose and it showed.

2024 Isaac Williams IV 6’2 G (Faith Family Academy) Dallas, TX 

He is a strong lead point guard that made good plays for his teammates and himself all weekend. I like his decision making. He had no problem finishing through contact while knocking down consistently knocking down his jumper I was really impressed with his court vision….Flat out baller.

2025 Johnny Keenan 5’11 G (Iona Prep) Rye, NY 

He’s a real gritty NY point guard that can shoot the rock. He made good decisions and played under control. I like the way he saw the court. He was fun to watch, as he displayed his court vision and leadership throughout.

The post BE Elite Invitational – II appeared first on All Metro Hoops.

Part One

2025 Mikel Brown 6’ PG (Sunrise Academy) Orlando, FL

This young fella is one of the smoothest point guards that I’ve seen in a while. He looks very unassuming but don’t let that fool you. He’s a pit bull. He has outstanding handles and the ball looks like an extention of his body. You can’t speed him up and he always look under control. He plays with great vision and awareness. The icing on the cake is his in the gym range. He can shoot from anywhere on the court and looks effortless.

2024 VJ Edgecomb 6’5 SG (Long Island Lutheran) Miami, FL

Coming into the camp, I had heard good things about Edgecomb and he more than delivered. He had incredible energy and played with great enthusiasm. He was good at getting to the basket and finishing above the rim with either hand. He had a nice looking jumper from mid-range and knocked down the occasional trey ball. His change of direction in traffic is what separated him from a lot of players in camp. The nice thing was, he matched that same energy on the defensive end.

2025 Akai Fleming 6’4 SG (Osborne High) Marietta, GA

I saw Fleming early this summer and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t warranting more media attention. Had to scratch my head. He showed he can easily play the 1,2 and 3 this weekend without a drop in production. He makes it all look easy. He navigates easily through traffic and finishes at the rim in a variety of ways. He knows how to use the glass, dropping many teardrops along the way. He has a sweet mid-range stroke and had no problem knocking down the deep ball. For a big guard, his passing and court visions are his major assets. He definitely made his teammates better and has a tremendous upside.

2025 Mazi Mosley 6’4 SG (St. Francis) Sherman Oaks, CA

This was one of the biggest surprises in camp. Mosley is very talented and put his stamp on the camp getting into the lane with his silky smooth finishes, not allowing his slight build to deter him. He had a sweet stroke and scored on all three levels. He just made positive play after positive play. He’s definitely going to be a problem in the future.

2025 Sebastian Williams-Adams 6’8 G/F (St. Johns) Houston, TX

Williams-Adams is built like a grown man and plays like. He’s big, strong and athletic. With all that being said, he’s also highly skilled. He literally can play all 5 positions and did it. Although he has the size to play bully ball, it was his skill set that I left impressed with. He handled the ball like a PG and showed he can go around or through you. I watched him drop dime after dime with relative ease. He had a four possession sequence where he gave his opponent buckets in a variety of ways, as is said, all three levels.

2024 K.Annor Boateng 6’5 G/F (Little Rock Central) Little Rock, AR

Boateng is a physical player that enjoys playing with contact. He was aggressive all weekend, utilizing his size and strength, while showing patience getting to his spots. Most of his damage was done playing downhill but he seemed real comfortable pulling up from deep. He needs to tighten up his handles and that should come with work. One thing you can’t teach a kid is to play with the toughness he plays with…a BATTLE CAT. That being said, defense is his calling card, consistently putting the offensive player on their heels throughout the weekend. 

2025 Juan Guerro-Hernandez 6’3 G (Garfton High) Madison, WI

This young player was problem all weekend. He’s quick and bouncy, playing with a motor and attitude from start to finish. Not being brash, he stated he was coming to make a statement and he did. He has a great first step and is a blur to the basket. 

2024 Jordan Vick 5’11 PG (Southern Nadh) Bailey, NC

He’s by far one of the quickest point guards in the class. His speed is a major asset and he brings some nice bounce to the table. If you turn your head he’s by you, getting to any spot he wanted to all weekend. Now when his jumper is on and it was most of the weekend, he becomes a major problem for anyone trying to guard him. On the defensive end he can be a headache when he wants to and with his defensive instincts can be a major disrupter on that end. like to see him become more consistent on that end.

2025 Jaxon Prunty 6’6 G/F (Francis Bradley) Charlotte, NC

He was one of the kids I really wanted to get a good look at. I had some mixed reviews on him prior to the camp but that was eliminated after this weekend, the kid can play. I loved his energy from the start of camp and he played like he was on a mission. He has solid ball handling skills and a real good feel for the game. He seemed to make the right play over and over again and can score in a variety of ways.

2024 Dink Pate 6’8 G/F (Pinkston High) Meaquite, TX

There’s no question how talented this young man is. With his length, size and athleticism he’s a problem. The only problem is, he’s only a problem when he wants to be a problem. He can play multiple positions. It seemed like when he wanted to dominate he did and showed the whole package. He navigated through traffic and finished above the rim. He knocked down back to back three’s with ease. He showed his passing ability and dropped a few dimes. If he can stayed tuned in throughout a game, he’s a major problem but that’s his speed bump right now, he must stay connected.

2025 Nigel Walls 6’9 F (St. Francis Episcopal) Houston, TX

You can tell Walls stays in the lab because his footwork is outstanding. He showed every move you want from a 6’10 player. This young man’s growth over the years has been incredible. He seems to be getting stronger, finishing at the basket it’s with authority and power. He’s stepping out and knocking down jumpers as well. On the defensive end he’s making himself more of a presence. When it’s all said and done he has the potential to be one of the most productive players in his class.

2027 Tyrone Jamison 6’ G (Calvary Baptist Academy) Shreveport, LA

I haven’t seen a lot of the 2027 class but if their are players more talented then this young fella, I would love to see them. I like his length, energy and definitely his enthusiasm. He’s very poised for his age. He didn’t get caught up trying to prove he belonged in the camp. He has handles and really sees the court. He showed good shooting range and touch as he knocked down floaters. This young fella has special all over him.

2026 Chidi Nwigwe 6’6 G/F (Bergen Catholic) Monroe, NY

I’ve seen a lot of players in the 2026 class and if you tell me he isn’t one of the top players in the class somethings wrong. He’s long, athletic and skilled. He plays beyond his years, being very patient with the ball while picking his spots to be aggressive. He played with same motor on both ends and showed he can guard multiple positions. Most of his damage on the offensive end was done in the paint but showed he could knock down the trey and looked good doing it.

2023 Parrish Johnson Jr. 6’5 G (Kell High) Marietta GA

Johnson has finally come all the way out his shell and understands he’s a baller. He’s aggressive on both ends, attacking the basket and finishing with authority. On the defense end he was aggressive and imposing his will on players. He can score at all three levels and shot the three on a much higher level. He’s definitely a sleeper in this 2023 class.

2024. Jamie Vinson 6’10 F (Oak Hill Academy) Auston, TX

He shows a lot of potential but needs to become more consistent. He showed at times why colleges are very intrigued with him. He’s long, very mobile and has some nice skills. He showed a good touch from mid-range. He had decent handles for his size but got in trouble a number of times doing too much with his dribble. If he stays in the lab and stays focused I can see his game making major strides.

2026 Elijah Garrett  6’ G (West Brook High) Beaumont, TX

Garrett has all the tools to be a special player. He’s lightning quick and has very good handles. He plays with a lot of energy on both ends and is a disrupter on defense. He showed he can knock down the three while not settling and getting to the rim. As with most young players he has to work on doing it consistently. He made a number plays during camp that left me in awe but in the next breadth doing too much and getting himself into trouble spots. The young fella oozes talent and when he becomes more patient his game will take off.

2024 Jackson Washington 6’4 SG (Chaminade Julienne) Springboro, OH

If there was a more impressive shooter in the camp, I missed him. His stroke from deep was incredible, even his misses looked good. What probably was most impressive was when the defense realized what I saw and got to his shot more aggressively he attacked the close-out and finished at the rim. He definitely stretches the floor.

2026 DeAaron Watkins 6’7 F (Madisonville North Hopkins) Madisonville, KY

This young fella seems to get better and better every time he plays. I think he’s starting to see his potential. He’s physical and knows how to make space in the paint. He finishes aggressively in the paint, utilizing both hands to finish or with the dunk. His handles are starting to tighten up and his jumper is steadily improving. He’s good on the glass but has the body and the ability to be more dominant as he moves forward in his career.

2024 Hudson Ward 6’7 (Western Canada Prep) Edmonton, Alberta

The surprise of the camp. This young fella was by far the most aggressive player in attendance. It seemed like every time he was in the lane, there was an attempted dunk, most to completion. He played with physicality and it showed in his finishes, giving his opponent two bumps and the basket. That being said, he had no problem knocking down the trey. He was tough on defense and contested most the shots that came his way.

Below is a list of some of standouts from the high school session:

2025 Jeremy Nixon 6’5 G (Kathleen High) Lakeland, FL
He was one of the more polished, focused and physical kids in the camp. He can play bully ball are blow by you. He can knock down the contested 3 are post you and put you in the basket. He by far was one of the hardest to guard all weekend. On defense he was able to guard bigger players and disrupt their game with his physical play. 

2025 Caleb Sanders 6’7 WF (Bell Creek Academy) Riverview, FL 
He has good size and a great body. He was aggressive and on attack all camp. He got to the basket and finished above the rim. He surprised me with good touch from deep. He played like he was on a mission from the start of camp.

2025 Matthew Able 6’5 CG (Berkeley Prep) Tampa, FL
He was one of the first players to catch my eye. He was consistent from the start of the camp. He was one of the most efficient players all day. He scored in a variety of ways and when he wasn’t scoring he was making plays for his teammates. He played under control and never seemed to get rattled. He just seem to keep making wining plays all camp.

2026 Evan Roberts 6’1 PG (Palmetto High) Bradenton, FL
He was one of the quickest guards in the camp. He made it look easy getting to his spots. He plays with good pace and under control. He consistently knocked down the 3 ball. He showed good court vision and continued to get his teammates involved.

2026 Bentley Shelton 6’4 (Evansville Harrison High) Evansville, IN
He plays with a high IQ. He plays within himself and under control. He played at his own pace and didn’t let the defender speed him up. I like that he can score at all 3 levels and was very consistent from 3. He’s a very solid on ball defender. He was also effective getting in the passing lanes and disrupting the offense.

2026 Trace Westercamp 6’9 F/C (Ponte Verde High) Jacksonville, FL
He’s another one of those young stretch bigs playing high school today. He really likes shooting it from behind the 3 point line. He showed some flashes of playing in the post and making plays. He was good on the glass but I would still like to see him be more aggressive around the basket on both ends.

2027 Madden Geiger 6’9 (Calvary Christian) Odessa, FL
This player comes from great genes. His father is Georgia Tech great and NBA player Matt Geiger. He’s one of the best long range shooters i’ve seen in his class. He can shoot off the dribble and was very good coming off screens. He has to get stronger and play more aggressive on defense. 

2027 Martay Barnes 6’2 PG (Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy) Melbourne, FL
I’ve seen quite of few of the 2027 guards in the country and Barnes is definitely one of the best. He’s electric on both ends of the court. He scores at all three levels. He very good at attacking the basket and finishing with either hand. He consistently knocks down the 3 ball and midrange with ease. On the defensive end he plays good on ball defense but can get caught gambling sometimes. He has a tremendous ceiling.

2028 Camden Cooper 6’4 G (St Johns Country Day) Jacksonville, FL
Being the youngest kid in camp you could tell the physicality at times was getting to him. With that being said you can see his talent and his skill set. He made a few plays, that made you see why people are raving about him. He has good length and a good understanding how to play. It going to be fun watching him get stronger and seeing his game mature.

The post Future Elite All-American Camp appeared first on All Metro Hoops.

2026 Elijah Williams 6’4 F (Scottsdale Christian Academy) Scottsdale, AZ He was very skilled. Had a nice smooth game. Had good size and moved well with and without the ball. His shot looked very good. I did feel he could be more aggressive on both ends.

2026 Jalen Montonati 6’4 F (Owasso 8th Grade Center) Owasso, OkThis young kid was a standout at a past JLE event and his game continues to grow. His long can put it on the floor and can score at all 3 levels. He’s sneaky athletic. He scored in bunches.

2026 Diego Scholze 6’3 F (Polytechnic School) Pasadena, CAHe was quick and energetic. He can stroke it and was deadly from mid-range. As long as he continues to work his game will grow and grow fast.

2026 Patrice Mpouli 6’1 G (Olympic MS) Auburn, WA This young player was strong and physical and used it to his advantage. He was hard to stop getting in the lane and when he got there he more then not finished. He plays was beyond his age. He played with a good pace and rhythm.

2026 Dawson Gilbert 5’11 G (Adair County MS) Columbia, KY This kids was just a lights out shooter, he also put it on the floor and created. He had unlimited range and didn’t see a shot he didn’t like. I like to see him refine his game, because the commodities a PG that can shoot, not an undersized SG.

2026 DJ Biggins 6′ G (St Gabriel’s) Windsor, CT He was an aggressive lefty that loved to attack and could knock down the 3. He had a good IQ for the game and I really like his instincts on both ends.

2026 Dylan Vallien 6’2 G/F (Nolan Ryan Jr High) Houston, TX He’s very active on both ends and always seems to be around the ball. He has to become more consistent on the offense end but his energy more then compensate for any offensive deficiencies

2026 Johnny Rios 5’8 G (Arizona Charter Academy) El Mirage, AZ This little dynamo was a shooter and wasn’t scared to let it fly. He launched from deep. I like to see him upgrade his playmaking skills.2026 Athan Oliver IV

5’10 G (Cathedral Carmel) Lafayette, LA This young guard had good feel and a real good IQ. He had very good court vision and made the right play the majority of the time. He scored when he needed too.

2026 Evan Egans 5’10 G (Crosby MS) Crosby, TX He was a crafty shooting guard that had a nice stroke and a real quick release. All he needed was a little space and he let it fly.

2026 Paxton Scalf 6’6 C (Home School) Rockwall, TX He has very good size and decent footwork. He needs to work on his speed and agility. Was very good around the basket but got in trouble when he was out in space.

2026 Jaylen Simmons 5’11 G (Alamo Jr High) Odessa, TX He was one of my camp favorites because he loved to defend. He picked up 94 feet all weekend. On the offensive end he used the same aggressiveness to attack the basket.

2026 Dylan Mingo 6’1 G (Howitt MS) Farmingdale, NY He has the chance to be special if he keeps working on his game. He’s a long guard that can get anywhere he wants on the court. He has a nice touch on his shot and o plays with some flair. I like to see him go a little more to the right though.

2026 Jack Gambrell 5’9 PG (Lexington Catholic) Lexington, KY He’s a heady Pg, that just knows how to play. He doesn’t force nothing and makes the easy play. He just knows how to run a team.

2026 Joshua Coleman 5’4 G (Westlake MS)This little tough PG is definitely not deterred by his height. He’s lightening quick and can get off his shot. He’s a pest on defensive, every time you put it on the floor your in jeopardy of giving it up.

2026 Richard Claude 5’11 G (Hopewell MS) Round Rock, TXHe showed at times when he’s aggressive, he be problem on the offensive end. He can stroke it and put it on the floor. He looked very good at times and then had the tendency to disappear.

2026 Jordan Skyers 6’3 G/F (Cardinal Hayes) Middletown, NY He’s an aggressive kid that can only go one speed and that’s 100 miles per hour. You hate to tell someone to tone it down, but he needs too. He would get to the rack but more finished, but still missed some easy bunnies. When he learns to play with pace, he’ll be alright.

2026 Gavin Lightning 6’4 F/C (Legacy Christian Academy) Bowling Green, KY The big fella had good length and a nice body. He showed flashes of good footwork and a good touch around the basket. He just needs to become way more aggressive. He has a very nice ceiling.

2026 Ayden Sadler 6’3 F (Gladeville MS) Mt. Juliet, TN The young fella has good length and real good athleticism. He has decent feet and moves very well. He needs to work on being more consistent and more aggressive. 

2026 Ramsey Guessagba-Sato 6′ G (Oak Hills Jr High) Montgomery, TX This kid was a flat out shooter. He knew how to read the defense coming off the screen and pulling up. He also could put it on the floor and knock it down from deep. He need to work more on putting on the floor and attacking.

2026 Aidan Conlan 5’4 G (Our Lady of Mount Carmel School) Santa Barbara, CA This young man was flashing from deep all weekend. He would pull up from anywhere with confidence. He tended to take some bad shots, but he hit a few of them.

2026 Bryce Dixon 6’3 F (Kennemer MS) Cedar Hill, TX He was by far one of the most aggressive kids in the camp. He played aggressive on both ends. When he learns to understand the game more and not take as many bad shots, his game will flourish. He was focus all camp was outstanding.

2026 Chaz Wallace 5’7 PG (Crandall MS) Dallas, TX He’s a jet quick guard that can get in the lane and make things happen. He has a good IQ. I like to see him stay more aggressive at times and keep the pressure on the defense.

2026 Gavin Blanton 6’1 G/F (St George Catholic School) Baton Rouge, LA He’s a real skilled wing. He can shoot it at all levels. I like to see him mix it up and get a little more physical. 

2027 Gervin Caleb 5′ G (Sacred Heart) Bermuda Dunes, CA Little man was an intense competitor all weekend. He stood out in station work and it carried over to the games. He’s tough as nails and didn’t back down from anyone. He had a high IQ and plays within himself.

2027 Tyrone Jamison 6′ G (Youree Drive) Shreveport, LA This young fella had much potential. He has good handles and can get to the basket at will. The problem is, he fell in love with his jumper. He has a decent shot but is way better when he attacks.
