The comprehensive programming included film sessions, positional work and live scrimmages. The presence of numerous college coaches and NBA scouts underscored the event’s significance as a true showcase for emerging basketball talent from across the country. The culmination of the camp featured a ‘championship’ game, which highlighted the depth of talent within the circuit — a group poised to make their mark at the collegiate and professional levels.
Overall, 2024 adidas All-American Camp not only provided a platform for participants to put their skills on display, but also offered invaluable exposure and guidance from some of the world’s premier basketball minds. With a focus on skill development, strategic gameplay, and high-stakes competition — all taking place in front of blue blood head coaches and NBA front office executives alike — the event affirmed its role as a significant stepping stone along the journeys of these aspiring athletes toward future success in the sport.
ADIDAS ALL-AMERICAN CAMP AWARDS
In a field loaded with many of the top prospects on the 3SSB circuit, the two standout performers and Co-MVP’s of the weekend were Phenom United guard Darryn Peterson and Team Loaded VA wing Nate Ament. While each only participated for a portion of the weekend, both dominated their time on the court, showcasing their respective skill-sets as defenders, scorers, creators, finishers, and competitors. Each posted game-highs in points, as Ament posted a tournament single-game high of 29 points while Peterson notched 27 points in his contest. Two of the most coveted prospects in the 2025 class, Peterson and Ament appear ready to finish out their high school careers with a bang before taking their talents to the NCAA ranks and beyond.
Earning the Underclassman MVP award was Utah Prospects guard Ikenna Alozie, who put on a show for evaluators throughout the entirety of the camp. The relentlessness, tough finishing, creating, facilitating, slashing, explosiveness, killer mentality, and defensive grit were all on display as Alozie was sure to make his presence felt any time he stepped on the court with an average of 18 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 1 block per game in Atlanta. Few players, regardless of class or shoe circuit, have had as productive a summer as Alozie as he’s now firmly established himself as one of the top 2026 prospects in the country.
BIGS ROAM THE LAND
The guards weren’t the only ones to make their mark as bigs Ben Ahmed (BABC), John Clark (TJ Ford Elite), Davion Adkins (Southern Assault), Latrell Allmond (Team Loaded VA), Gan-Erdene Solongo (Wildcat Select), and Malachi Moreno (Indiana Elite) put others on notice by patrolling the paint. Nigerian-born big Ben Ahmed in particular was an absolute load to handle in the post and eased his way to multiple 20+ point games using his footwork, strength and soft touch inside. John Clark also came on late as his teammate Malachi Moreno went down with a minor injury, and showcased his production as a pick-and-roll big working in tandem with Ikenna Alozie, flashing soft hands and athletic finishing at the rim. Both Allmond and Adkins intrigued as productive rebounders, graceful athletes and forces around the basket as well. Overall it was a diverse and skilled frontcourt group on display.
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT
While the upperclassmen owned the spotlight, it was beneficial to see the next crop of 3SSB hoopers strive to learn and make the most of their opportunities. The potential of the 2027 class was apparent as each one of Bruce Branch III (Compton Magic), Joshua Leonard (Upward Stars), Jordan Page (Garner Road), Martay Barnes (SE Elite), Ryan Hampton (Southern Assault), and Obinna Ekezie (Team Lillard) showed their intriguing blend of tools, athleticism, and budding skill-sets and each had their “who’s that?” moment in front of coaches and scouts. Time will tell on who separates themselves from the group next season, but in the meantime it’s safe to say each deserves to be on every evaluator’s radar moving forward.
BIG GUARDS CAME TO PLAY
Everyone wants to be a “big guard” these days, but few can actually claim the title and prospects Kayden Allen (Team Loaded NC) and Josiah Parker (Game Elite) both epitomized the term with their play in Atlanta. Boasting thick frames and standing at least 6’6” tall, Allen and Parker both displayed shades of OKC guard (and former Upward Stars standout!) Dillon Jones as they stuffed the stat sheet through savvy decision making, crafty creating, impressive court vision, and multi-level scoring. Put simply, each contributed to winning at a high level by leveraging their natural tools and feel for the game and it’s tough not to see that translating to every level of competition.
NOTABLE PERFORMERS
Matthew Able (SE Elite)
Able continued his recent ascension with another impressive weekend at All-American Camp. His combination of positional size, fluidity, range shooting, self-creation, above-the-rim finishing, and unselfishness allows him to fit on just about every roster in the country and makes him one of the more intriguing long term prospects in the class. Expect him to continue shooting up the national rankings.
Brandon Bass, Jr. (SE Elite)
Even though every game wasn’t flawless, Bass still managed to average an impressive 19 PPG thanks to his consistent effort and shot-making ability. The son of a former NBA world champ, Bass continues to carve out a name for himself as a floor-stretching lefty guard who bends the defense and has some intriguing skills as a creator and playmaker. Look for him to continue trending up and garner more college attention throughout next season.
Darius Bivins (Washington Warriors)
Perhaps the most polished point guard in attendance, Bivins did what he does and carved up defenses using his deep bag, advanced understanding of angles, soft touch as a finisher, and exceptional timing as a facilitator. What Bivins may lack in physical size he makes up for in basketball IQ and consistency. Teams in need of a floor general should keep him firm on their radar.
Zachary Foster (Atlanta Celtics)
Representing the local Atlanta Celtics, Foster made a positive impression as a long, athletic guard who can create space and get buckets. Foster had multiple double-digit scoring outings on the weekend, showcasing his ability to finish above the rim, hit midrange jumpers and stretch the defense. Simply put, his blend of tools and talent make him a prospect to know.
Manny Green (Atlanta Celtics)
With an impressive frame, all-around athleticism and a high motor, Green highlighted his versatility and endeared himself to NBA coaches as a two-way option that helps win games. Green also flashed his developing offensive skillset, knocking down fadeaway jumpers and taking defenders off the bounce, showing there’s more to his game than what one might think. Expect Green to continue his upward momentum throughout his junior season.
Caleb Holt (Game Elite)
Entering the event as a widely-known national prospect, Holt could’ve taken it easy and coasted through the weekend and no one would’ve blamed him. However, as per usual, he gave it his all, and had some strong on-court sequences in front of a slew of basketball decision makers. While he’s still honing his skills, the overall impact, versatility and competitiveness at his size are undoubtedly impressive and are what allowed him to fill up the stat sheet with an average of 19 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals per game at AAC. Holt is a true two-way player who brings a ton to the table as a creator, slasher, finisher, rebounder, and high motor defender and projects to be a day-one impact player at the next level.
Bo Ogden (ASAK Elite)
A smart, strong and fierce competitor, Ogden makes his living as a willing defender, facilitator, shot-maker, and slasher. He’s a prospect who does the dirty work and complements others by covering up miscues on both sides of the ball, making him a coveted player for a number of college programs.
Dean Rueckert (Utah Prospects)
It took a bit for Rueckert to adjust, get going and make his presence felt, but once he did, he certainly turned some heads. The size, skill, athleticism, and instincts all popped as he moved well off the ball, converted some tough finishes, operated off the catch, and protected the rim with some acrobatic chasedown blocks. He’s just scratching the surface as a prospect and is one of the higher upside wings in the 2026 class.
Trent Sisley (Indiana Elite)
The ability to knock-down shots from anywhere on the floor was in full effect for Sisley as he put up an efficient 16 PPG in Atlanta, all without his number being called. A nimble forward, Sisley also stayed active off the ball, making well-timed cuts for easy baskets. The positional size, versatility, smarts, and shot-making help him project as a plug-and-play guy at the next level.
