Many of the country’s best players from the classes of 2020, 2021, 2022 and even 2023 converged on Cerritos College for the three day event.
Here are the top shooting guards and wings from the event:
Cade Cunningham, 2020, Montverde Academy (FL) – What I liked most about Cunningham is how he approached the game. The 6-foot-7 guard prefers to make the smart play instead of the flashy one, he can score in a variety of ways, whether it’s a deep jump shot or a strong drive to the basket, and he certainly looks to get his teammates involved with the pass. Cunningham can be described simply as a high IQ stat sheet stuffer.
Cade Cunningham proved to be one of the most productive players in all statistical categories at the Pangos All-American Camp.Arthur Kaluma, 2021, Universal Academy (TX) – I thought Kaluma should have been in the Top 30 game based on his performance throughout, but I wasn’t invited into the All-Star voting thing tank. Oh well. The 6-foot-7 wing has good size and length, but isn’t your prototypical freakish athlete. Instead, Kaluma relies on his strong shoulders and upper body to create space on the perimeter or finish through contact in the paint.
Jahmai Mashack, 2021, Etiwanda (CA) – Mashack was a late invitee and he didn’t disappoint Camp Director Dinos Trigonis with the effort he put forth. The 6-foot-3 wing, simply put, is a guy you want on your team. He asks to guard the best player on the opposing team, he’s a willing passer, communicates on defense, and knocks down the open catch-and-shoot triple or two-dribble pull-up jumper.
Ian Martinez, 2020, JSerra (CA) – Local scouts and media types are plenty aware of how good Martinez is and he made sure to drive that point home in front of a national audience. The 6-foot-3 wing is so athletic it’s like he’s gliding when he runs or rises up for a transition finish. Martinez gets great lift on his jump shot and is becoming more consistent with it both from a standstill and off of the bounce.
MarJon Beauchamp, 2020, Garfield (WA) – Beauchamp has ideal “measureables” for the wing position at 6-feet-7 with length and fluid athleticism. The senior-to-be started slowly but picked up his game when it mattered most, dropping 19 points in a variety of ways in the Top 60 game. When Beauchamp is comfortable and asserting himself, he’s a handful to deal with.
Jaylen Clark, 2020, Etiwanda (CA) – It looked like Clark made it a point to show his scoring chops and he accomplished that goal. The setting was perfect for the 6-foot-5, 200-plus pound wing as he got downhill in transition early and often and powered through retreating defenders for paint buckets.
