ROCK HILL, S.C. – The NBPA Top 100 Camp featured some of the top high school players in the country, who played five games over four days in front of more than 100 NBA scouts and college coaches. Former NBA players acted as coaches, giving the young players a chance to receive one-on-one coaching from guys like John Wall, Andre Drummond, Taj Gibson, Isaiah Thomas and Justise Winslow.
Dylan Mingo, a 6-foot-5 guard in the 2026 class, ran away with MVP honors after dominating the competition in 5-on-5 scrimmages. Mingo, a consensus five-star recruit from Glen Head (N.Y.) Long Island Lutheran, averaged 23.8 points, 6.8 assists and 6.5 rebounds. “I’m just here to show all the scouts and coaches that I’m a complete point guard and I can do a little bit of everything, whether that’s scoring, passing, rebounding – whatever it takes,” Mingo, a top-10 prospect, told reporters after his first game.
Baba Oladotun, the consensus No. 1 player in the 2027 class, also was impressive against older competition. Oladotun, a 6-foot-9 wing from Silver Spring (Md.) Blake, had two games where he scored at least 20 points and finished the camp averaging 16.5 points and 4.5 rebounds.
Here are 10 standouts from the camp, with recruiting updates and scouting notes.
Dylan Mingo, 6-foot-5 guard, 2026 class
On Day 1, Mingo showcased his scoring ability. On Day 2, it was his passing and facilitating. The game that separated him from every other player happened in Game 3, when he had 8 points and 9 assists at halftime, then took over when his team was falling behind in the fourth quarter. His team won 89-86 in overtime. Mingo finished with 30 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds, and was 11-of-11 from the free throw line.
“I love playing back and forth like that because it keeps the defense honest, and if I make a few plays and my teammates get going, the floor opens up for everyone and that’s what happened,” Mingo said after the game.
Mingo’s older brother, Kayden, will be a freshman at Penn State this season, and they formed one of the best backcourt duos in high school basketball last season. Mingo has seen his recruitment pick up after a strong season playing for PSA Cardinals on Nike’s EYBL.
“I’m hearing a lot from Texas, Alabama, Louisville, North Carolina, Virginia, Illinois and Missouri recently,” Mingo said. “I’m just looking for a school where I have a strong relationship with the coaching staff – they’re going to push me every day – and a place where I can go and play right away.”
Baba Oladotun, 6-foot-9 wing, 2027 class
Oladotun started the spring season playing 16-under for Team Durant on Nike’s EYBL, and quickly moved up after the first session to the 17-under team for tougher competition. He looked right at home against older players and was one of the better players at the camp with how well he took players off the dribble, elevated over the defense in the midrange and started the break after missed shots. His shot selection is improving and he’s become stronger with the ball in his hands.
Oladotun looks like a mini Kevin Durant – another Baltimore/D.C.-area product – on the court. He’s averaging 12.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in the EYBL, and will have his choice of schools. His most recent offer is from Oregon, with Louisville, Tennessee, UCLA, Michigan, Maryland, Kentucky, Arkansas and Villanova also involved.
Qayden Samuels, 6-foot-5 guard, 2026 class
Samuels and Mingo were two of the best scoring guards at the camp. Samuels, a consensus five-star prospect from District Heights (Md.) Bishop McNamara, always has been a high-volume shooter and his shot selection has improved this summer. Samuels averaged 26.4 points and 9.8 rebounds in five games, and shot 37.0 percent from beyond the arc on four attempts per game.
Samuels plays for one of the top teams in the EYBL, Team Takeover, and his recruitment has picked up after the team went 10-1 in the first three sessions. “I’ve recently heard from North Carolina, Kentucky and the new Maryland staff,” Samuels said. “I’m taking an official visit to Louisville with (Takeover teammate) Jordan Smith in August, and once things start calming down after the AAU season, I’m going to really start looking into schools and visits and narrowing things down.”
Samuels has visited Georgetown and Villanova, and has recent offers from Texas, Alabama, UConn and Tennessee.

Nassir Anderson, 6-foot-2 point guard, 2027 class
Anderson is coming off a gold-medal run with Team USA at the 16U Men’s AmeriCup earlier this month. Anderson, a four-star prospect from Norcross (Ga.) High, in the Atlanta suburbs, was named MVP of the AmeriCup after averaging 12.3 points, 6.8 assists and 3.5 steals.
If Anderson was tired, it didn’t show up on the court at the Top 100 camp. He sat out the first day of drills to rest, then came alive once games started. The shifty point guard averaged 14 points and 4.5 assists in the first two games, and almost put two players on a poster while getting downhill. He was one of the best on-ball defensive guards and regularly would pick up players full court without being told.
Anderson’s energy and intensity is contagious on the court and reminiscent of a young Anthony Edwards when he was in high school in the Atlanta area. Anderson has offers from Georgia, Georgia Tech and Missouri, and is hearing from Florida, North Carolina, Clemson, Louisville and Alabama.
Aziz Olajuwon, 6-foot-6 wing, 2026 class
Aziz is the youngest son of NBA great Hakeem Olajuwon. While Aziz plays a different position than his father, the natural feel for the game is there. During the camp, Hakeem would pull his son to the side after games and give him advice and sometimes showed him different footwork and adjustments. Aziz, currently a three-star prospect from Sugar Land (Texas) Clements, in the Houston suburbs, put on a shooting clinic over five games and earned First Team honors after averaging 20.6 points and 5.4 rebounds.
His recruitment has picked up since the spring; he’s playing with JL3 on the EYBL, where he’s averaging 13.1 points and 4.6 rebounds. Cincinnati offered the talented wing after seeing him at the Top 100 Camp, and Virginia Tech offered earlier this month. Texas, Vanderbilt and UCF also are showing interest and will monitor his growth throughout the summer on the AAU circuit and at the U19 FIBA World Cup in Switzerland, where he will be playing for Canada.
Latrell Allmond, 6-foot-8 forward, 2026 class
Allmond had 23 points and 6 blocks in his first game, and it was enough to get the attention of scouts and coaches who hadn’t seen him play. His timing on defense is top-notch, particularly coming over from the help side and blocking shots from behind.
His 3-point jumper continues to improve, and he should be a real 3-and-D threat at the college level and beyond. He went 4-of-8 from deep in the first game and ended camp shooting 40.7 percent from beyond the arc. “I would describe my game as an inside-out presence and a versatile two-way player,” Allmond said.
Allmond, a four-star prospect from Richmond (Va.) Marshall, has talked to Indiana, Oklahoma State and Rutgers about setting official visits, and heard from Kansas, Oklahoma and Michigan State after the first live period in May. “I want to go to a school where I can get on the floor early and (with) a coaching staff that will allow me to make mistakes because everything’s not going to be perfect. Just a place where I can learn and grow as a player,” Allmond said.
Kohl Rosario, 6-foot-5 guard, 2026 class
Rosario was one of the most consistent guards at the camp; he played in all five games and averaged 14.8 points. He has broad shoulders and a 6-foot-11 wingspan, and looks like he could grow a few inches in the next few years.
Rosario, a four-star prospect at Monroe (N.C.) Moravian Prep, near Charlotte, still is thinking about reclassifying to the 2025 class and joining a college program this season.
Rosario, a Miami native, has visited Florida State and Oregon, has a visit to Kansas next week and plans on getting to Baylor, Duke and Miami before he makes his decision.
“It’s a lot mentally to have to make a decision, but I’m trying to get an idea of all my options before I complete my decision,” Rosario said. “Ultimately I’ll know more after these visits this summer. I just want to go somewhere where I can play winning basketball, where I can develop and be the best version of myself.”
Quinn Costello, 6-foot-9 wing, 2026 class
No one helped themselves more this past week than Costello, who was the best 3-point shooter at the camp: He shot 51.9 percent from deep on 6.5 attempts per game.
Costello, currently a three-star recruit from The Newman School in Boston, led the camp in efficiency scoring and averaged 1.36 points per possession. Immediately following the camp, Costello picked up offers from Maryland, Texas A&M, Syracuse, Michigan State and Providence. The secret is out, and his stock will continue to soar as the summer season rolls on.
Aiden Derkack, 6-foot-5 guard, 2026 class
Derkack, a four-star prospect from Colonia (N.J.) High, near Newark, is coming off a strong performance at the Pangos All-American Camp and has been excellent for Team Final on the EYBL circuit.
In his second game at the Top 100 camp, Derkack finished with 24 points (4-of-5 from three); he shot 39 percent from beyond the arc over five games. “I’m just trying to show coaches and scouts that I’m a dog on the court and I’m a versatile player that can shoot the three and play defense,” Derkack said.
He plays a little bit like Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun, a former standout at Kansas, and had a few dunks that surprised people.
Derkack has taken unofficial visits to Providence and Miami, and has recent offers from Notre Dame, Xavier, Maryland, Dayton and Creighton. He plans on taking official visits from now through October, and the goal is to sign in the early signing period in November.
Joe Philon, 6-foot-8 forward, 2026 class
Philon, a four-star prospect and national top-35 recruit, is a high flyer who can put up a shot in transition and had some elite dunks throughout camp. He has great size and a strong frame, with athleticism to match.
Philon’s biggest area of development is his jump shot and it’s something he has been working on this summer. “I’ve really been focused on getting a lot of shots up and extending my game past the three-point line,” said Philon, who played at Tampa Blake last season and is transferring to national power Montverde Academy, near Orlando, for the next school year. “To be a three-level threat as a scorer, I need to get more consistent there, and that’s a main focus for me this summer and when I get to Montverde.”
Philon averaged 14.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.5 steals over five games, and passed the eye test as a productive stretch four with the way he spaces the floor and gets up and down the court. Philon holds offers from hometown USF, Florida State, Minnesota, Texas A&M, St. Bonaventure and Duquesne.
