Bought again dwelling to the Lone Star State and I wished to additional break down what I noticed on the 2025 Pangos All-American Camp.
This yr’s camp had a strong group of gamers, and it was an area the place just a few guys put themselves in one other tier nationally. On this article, I spotlight how the members from Texas performed in Las Vegas. Let’s dive proper in.
Texas Gamers At PangosÂ
Bryson Howard, 2026 6’5 SG/SF – Frisco Heritage/Nike ProskillsThe CO-MVP of the Prime 30 All-Star Sport, Howard, nationally, is one among, if not the largest riser in 2026. An athletic southpaw who makes performs from in every single place. On the glass, ending, plus workforce and particular person defender. He was a standout in video games the place he wasn’t getting the ball thrown to him a lot, and that spoke louder to me than the rest. He recovered rebounds and ignited breaks, was an enough off-ball cutter, and made athletic performs within the open court docket. Try extra Bryson Howard protection on the “Area Of 68 Subsequent Gen” Pod this week!
Trae Nunn, 2026 6’4 SG/SF – Waxahachie/3D Empire Puma Pro16Didn’t make any of the All-Star Video games, however I did suppose Nunn had a strong week. Nothing spectacular, however I believed he tried to play the fitting method. Made spot-up threes and completed performs as a shooter. One small element of his recreation that I like is his means to display screen. He created open appears to be like for himself as a popper on ball screens, and even when he cuts, he makes contact with the assistance defender, which will get different individuals open. Nunn is aware of learn how to play, and although he didn’t get the amount of photographs we usually see, I used to be impressed by how efficient he was as a ball-mover, shooter and screener.
Reese Alston, 2027 6’2 PG – Second Baptist/Cooz Elite Puma Pro16Alston was actually good this weekend. Behind Howard, for my part, he was the most effective Texas performer from Pangos. Reese was a no brainer for the Prime 30 Sport. Shifty with the deal with, he has a large quantity of craft to his recreation, however one factor to notice for him is how he initiates contact to create house on drives with euro steps. He was good at this in Kansas Metropolis on Memorial Day Weekend as nicely, when he visitor performed for Houston Hoops 17U. As soon as he creates an angle to assault, he is aware of when to activate a euro step to both evade the defender or bump him to generate house. It’s spectacular to see a rising junior (that’s nowhere near how sturdy he can be) to try this constantly vs older and larger gamers.
Cam Lomax, 6’1 PG – Frisco Heritage/Drive Nation EYBL:Cam was fairly good the primary two days of camp. Scored it with strong effectivity and dotted guys in transition and half-court. He took what the protection gave him and was making the fitting play for essentially the most half. Tuesday, he didn’t play nicely, however I believed Lomax this week was good within the quantity of minutes and touches he bought.
Christian Gibson, 2026 6’4 SG – Mayde Creek/Houston Hoops EYBLWe talked about Gibson among the many Sunday standouts, and he gave extra of the identical on Monday which led him to a Prime 60 Sport choice. Scores it, assured, and loves the pull-up jumper. Shot choice could not at all times be the most effective, however you’ll be able to inform he’s unfazed by heavy contests and has a brief reminiscence (hell, possibly no reminiscence) on misses.
Bryson Dixon, 2026 6’4 SF/SG – The Colony/Legynds EYCLPlays so arduous and with a imply streak. Dixon made the Cream of the Crop Prime 60 Sport. Rebounds like somebody who’s 6’8 as an alternative of 6’4. Dixon was a play-maker in transition, throwing lobs and advancing the ball to the open man. He doesn’t hand over on a play on both finish, and the mixture of all these traits is what makes him a D1 prospect. I really feel assured his offensive ability set will come alongside sooner or later in his enjoying profession, however when he performs inside his strengths, he helps himself so much.
Dawson Battie, 2027 6’8 PF – St. Marks/Southern Ties Puma Professional 16Dawson made the Prime 30 recreation, and there wasn’t any hesitation from the voting panel that he belonged on there. Made spot-up threes, completed above the rim on put-backs, and confirmed a reasonably fast second leap as nicely. Dawson continued to point out a reliable inside-out recreation and is somebody good sufficient to know when and the place to execute on dimension or athletic benefit.
