The lights were bright in Bryan, TX as college coaches poured in to take in 3SSB Session III action during the first live period of 2024. Top teams continued their dominance, while other squads made their case. Plenty of players made headlines and saw their stock skyrocket. College coaches were buzzing and plenty of new offers were earned. As the regular season comes to a close, we witnessed the most exciting weekend yet this year. The best of the best will be headed off to Eurocamp next week to compete against top talent from around the world. While the usual stars – as mentioned after Session I and Session II – continued to shine, we want to dedicate some time to highlight some more of the incredible talent that’s been on display through the first three sessions. If we’ve learned one thing threes sessions into 3SSB play, it’s that there is an abundance of talent on display, and here are some of the biggest guys making a name for themselves that we haven’t highlighted yet:
Aiden Argabright | 2025 | 6-0 Guard | New World 17U
Argabright has steadily been one of the most prolific scorers three sessions in and is, pound for pound, one of the best sources of offense in 17U. His ability to warrant the defense’s attention just as much with or without the ball in his hands may be unmatched. He is an uber versatile shooter, using his quick trigger and ability to square his body off any movement to almost always be a threat to get a shot up. He also moves great without the ball, which opens him up for looks. When he’s on the ball, he is quick, bursty, and creative with his handle to set himself up. He has a real knack for decelerating into pull-up jumpers, but is also aggressive attacking the rim and is a capable passer, so he really keeps the defense honest.
Yohance Connor | 2026 | 6-3 Guard | Team Loaded VA 16U
Few guards boast the combination of skill, explosiveness and toughness that Connor brings to the table. He is lethal while attacking the basket, especially when he gets a head of steam. He has some burst to get downhill, is incredibly aggressive attacking contact, and has an electrically athletic and acrobatic finishing package at the rim. Due to this, as well as his wiggle with the ball in his hands, he is an especially great threat in transition and as a slasher. Beyond that, he’s also been super efficient as a shooter, particularly off the catch. His ability to provide value on and off the ball is key to the success of this Team Loaded group. Beyond all that, he is a ferocious defender, who takes his assignments personally.
Junior County | 2026 | 6-5 Guard | Utah Prospects 16U
County does an excellent job of striking a balance between being an advanced playmaker, a steady decision-maker and a two-way presence. He has good size for a guard and is quite a dynamic mover, which he leverages especially well to get downhill and operate as an adept slasher. He is hard to contain when he has a head of steam, but also operates with real patience, reading the defense well while on the move. His passing is also a real standout trait, whether he’s throwing creative dimes out of his drives, or making decisive reads as a connective passer. As big of a contributor as he is on the offensive end, he is also a disciplined defender who can halt his assignment in their tracks.
Kirby Duran | 2027 | 6-1 Guard | Team Loaded VA 15U
Duran is a young lead guard that can both pick a defense apart with his playmaking and also punish them with his sharpshooting and excellent touch. It is rare to see someone so young capable of doing both with the levels of consistency and poise he possesses. He leverages his handle, footwork, and pacing in the pick-and-roll to get to his spots time and time and is an absolute inferno with his jumper, particularly off the dribble. His vision makes a big difference, too, as he can make a wide variety of reads and processes the floor well. That being said, what takes his playmaking to that near-elite status is his seeming ambidexterity, combined with his proficiency as a live-dribble passer.
Alexander Egbuonu | 2026 | 6-6 Wing | BABC 16U
When talking about some of the top young shooters this spring, we would be remiss not to mention Egbuonu, who has had plenty of strong shot-making performances through the first three sessions. He’s a unique shooter, given his strong build and long arms, which makes him all the more valuable. He’s got a quick, effortless stroke with minimal dip and is confident shooting a wide variety of shots, whether they are off the dribble or off the catch. His floor-spacing opens up a lot for BABC, and for his own ability to attack the basket. He’s used his strength and counters attacking the basket to be super efficient there. On top of all this, he also plays with a hot motor at all times, even when other elements of his game aren’t clicking.
Jason Gardner, Jr. | 2027 | 6-1 Guard | Indiana Elite 15U
There are few abilities more valuable on the basketball court than the ability to consistently create advantages and capitalize when doing so, but Gardner already does so seemingly at will. He has the handle, footwork, and screen manipulation to get a step on his defender and the lightning-quick burst to leave them in the dust once he gets that slight edge. He is fearless attacking the rim, advanced both in his ability to initiate contact and protect the ball using his body. He finishes well and gets to the line constantly, but he’s also excellent at leveraging his gravity as a driver to find open shooters and cutters.
Manny Green | 2026 | 6-6 Forward | Atlanta Celtics 16U
If you’re looking for players with all the physical tools to succeed, Green seems to check box after box. He has a chiseled 6-6 frame with wide shoulders and long arms, while also being a fluid mover and explosive vertical athlete. He combines power, length and agility and applies these physical traits well on both ends of the court. Defensively, he is an elite event generator, racking up both steals and blocks. Whether he is operating as a weakside rim protector, covering a variety of positions, or hustling back for big transition defense plays, Green is a force to be reckoned with on this end of the court. He also has shown off an intriguing pull-up jumper, some fun passing reads and a dominant resilience on the glass.
Taylen Kinney | 2026 | 6-1 Guard | Wildcat Select 16U
Despite operating in a deep guard rotation for Wildcat Select, Kinney seems to always find a way to make a difference; he is a real threat regardless of his usage and can leave his imprint on the game whether he’s used as a primary handler or operating off the ball. He is a creative, manipulative ballhandler who uses his tight handle and change of speeds to get to his spots over and over again. He also has a lot of confidence in his shot and often capitalizes if the defense gives him any space to get one up. He supplements his scoring prowess with real ingenuity as a passer, particularly out of his drives.
Cam Miles | 2025 | 6-2 Guard | Austin Rivers SE Elite 17U
Miles is part of a select group of guards that set themselves apart in their ability to play with or without the ball, as well as their high caliber of play on both ends of the floor. He is often tasked with defending the best perimeter player on the opposing team, and he seems to take pride in giving them as much trouble as possible. He plays with a real edge on that end and is a strong defender, both on and off the ball. On the offensive end, he brings a lot of versatility. He is a smart decision maker and a creative passer, who sees reads others might not. He has a versatile jumpshot, gets downhill well, and keeps the defense honest with a promising floater game. As good as he is playing on the ball, he is also great at making an impact without it, too.
Josiah Parker | 2025 | 6-7 Forward | Game Elite 17U
There may not be a more outside-the-box – yet consistently and incredibly impactful – player than Parker. He plays such a key role and checks so many boxes for Game Elite, supporting and elevating their group as a whole. His value prop revolves around his leadership, feel, and versatile skillset. He is a great communicator, acting almost as a coach on the floor. Offensively, his passing pops out above all else. He is innovative and decisive, picking apart the defense with reads that many might not even recognize. He also can operate as a driver, out of the mid-post and as a spot-up threat. In general, he also just looks to make a difference however he can, be it as a rebounder, defender, creator, or connector.
Cody Peck | 2026 | 6-10 Forward | Garner Road 16U
We can’t say there are too many players out there as intriguing long-term as Cody Peck. Beginning with his tools alone, he has a long frame, intriguing fluidity, and surprising explosiveness as a vertical leaper. He’s shown he can get up and throw it down with authority, but also has flashed some tremendous ambidextrous touch, both around the rim and beyond floater range. Defensively, his tools give him a pretty tantalizing upside. He is able to stick in space with smaller players and use his length to blow up passing lanes and protect the rim. On top of all that, he plays hard and is a gifted rebounder.
Jaylen Petty | 2025 | 6-0 Guard | Dream Vision 17U
Few players differentiated themselves this weekend quite like Petty. He was tied as the second-leading scorer with 27.0 PPG on a ridiculous clip (66.7 FG%; 52% 3P%). The quick, bursty guard gets downhill and finishes surprisingly well at the rim, but he also has an excellent counter with his pull-up jumper; he is a tremendous vertical athlete and leverages that to rise far above the defense for his release point. He is incredibly creative at leveraging his vertical pop as a passer, weaponizing jump passes to manipulate the defense with regularity. He also very evidently takes pride on the defensive end, harassing opposing ballhandlers and even bringing surprising prowess as a shot blocker.
Jonathan Sanderson | 2026 | 6-3 Guard | Wildcat Select 16U
Sanderson is a real handful for the defense to deal with, playing well off of and elevating a very talented Wildcat Select roster this weekend. He is an undeniable tone-setter with his shooting, stretching the defense and attracting their attention with or without the ball in his hands. He has a smooth, repeatable stroke with extremely deep range and is just as good pulling up off the dribble as he is off the catch. Beyond the threat of his pull-up jumper, he also has some stop-start ability, shift, and screen manipulation to set himself up. He’s shown touch with both hands from all three levels, making him a dangerous self creator. Further, he’s shown the foundation of an intriguing knack for improvisation as a passer.
Tyus Thomas | 2026 | 5-11 Guard | Dream Vision 16U
Thomas may be one of the most dynamic creators on the circuit, regardless of level. The sturdy southpaw generates looks for himself and others in a variety of ways, while also being a notably reliable decision maker. He boasts elite vision and creativity as a passer, which he has shown he can tap into in a variety of scenarios. He also has a tight handle and real suddenness with the ball in his hands, as well as some standout physicality for a guard. He has deep range, both off the bounce and off the catch, and is great at punishing defenders for respecting his shot. He’s displayed some real talent with his floater game, can get to the basket, and is great at baiting the defense into fouls.
Jordan Tillery | 2025 | 6-6 Wing | Team Loaded NC 17U
Three sessions in, Tillery has been a force of a two-way player, consistently showing the ability to give this Team Loaded squad a spark on either end in key moments. Everything starts for him on the defensive end, where he’s proven he can really sit down and defend any position along the perimeter. Beyond that, he’s a threat in the passing lanes and has the feel on this end to patch holes with his rotations off the ball. Offensively, his ability to attack the basket is a real game-changer. He gets downhill seemingly at will and is extremely aggressive initiating contact, both to athletically finish through it, and to draw fouls at an exorbitant rate. On top of that, he’s shown off some intriguing shot-making from the mid-range and beyond the arc.
