He came over from the help side, blocked the shot, then screamed with joy and fired an outlet pass. Say hello to Lewis Uvwo—6'11", 230 lbs, with a 7'7" wingspan and a 9'3" standing reach. This is what multiple-effort defense and energy looks like. SportsCenter NEXT Top 100 Camp

Duke fans, Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje is playing next here at the Adidas Eurocamp. His size-to-skill ratio is his superpower, and it’s natural. The lefty big man is working with coach Bill Banyo, who is teaching him to release his right (guide) hand earlier on the shot. Here it is in slow motion. Watch him for NEXT GEN (NXT)

Two years ago, I worked at Steph Curry's camp. I was, of course, impressed and in awe of his astonishing shooting ability. But what I will remember is how he made himself finish EVERY shooting drill until completed under the guidance of Brandon Payne, whom he just called to thank from Paris. The right-hand-left-hand free throws still blows my mind! Stephen Curry

News: RJ Evans, a 6'7" G/F in the class of 2029, tells ESPN he has committed to attend the Academy of Central Florida High School in Orlando for his sophomore year. Evans is currently ranked No. 3 in the SC Next 25 for his class. While scouting him as he played two age groups up with Austin Rivers SE Elite U17 squad on the Adidas 3SSB circuit, he was consistently scoring and rebounding. He was also the youngest player selected for both the Adidas NXT Generation and Eurocamp this year. He more than held his own. He is a very coachable with a high upside due to his length, skill set and explosiveness. His dad was a beast at Iowa and played in the NBA for over 10 years. He holds early offers from: FSU Iowa NC State Miami Georgia Tech FAU Providence Sacramento State

When BYU put the ball in AJ Dybantsa's hands, he delivered. I love his demeanor. A blend of alpha confidence and unselfishness. He definitely has some flaws but steps up to a challenge. It will be debated all season long, but he is the number one pick in the NBA Draft come June. As of today, I can’t imagine somebody leaving him on the board.

I would encourage every high school coach to take their team to a college practice. It will reinforce everything you plan to teach during the season and set clear expectations. It will also be an eye-opening experience for players to see the intensity level, vocal communication, and the teamwork involved. Lipscomb Men's Basketball

Porter Moser and Oklahoma land one of the more talented players in the SC NEXT 100 in Quincy Wadley. He played for top 10 AZ Compass Prep🐉 under HC Pete Kaffey. What he brings to Oklahoma Basketball: At 6'5" with a 6'10" wingspan, Wadley is capable of playing both on and off the ball and is an NBA-level athlete. His defensive makeup allows him to switch effectively on the perimeter. He combines the qualities of a scoring playmaker with unselfish passing vision. He’s also a reliable finisher who can hit open shots from mid-range as well as beyond the arc. His game reminds me of Baylor’s Cameron Carr. SportsCenter NEXT 🎥
