The 2026 New Balance P32 season has officially came to an end. In its second year, the P32 quickly showed that it will be around for a while and its level of play improved from year one, both as far as individual prospects and with its team play. P32 director Josh Woodson and his staff put together an outstanding event that made it especially easy for NBA executives, college coaches, and scouts alike to take in all of the top action at the gorgeous Memphis Sports and Event Center.
NBA stars such as Jamal Murray, Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Wells were all manning the sidelines for their teams in New Balance's final event of the AAU season. Ultimately, the Gateway Knights continued their magical season and finished the P32 League undefeated with the 17U crown. Constantly emerging Midwest Renegade took home the 16U title with a collaborative effort and squad that had countless contributors. Famed program DC Assault showed that they're back for good, taking home the 15U championship with a special group of 2029 prospects that blended size, skill, and athleticism.
Here are the standouts from championship Sunday at the New Balance P32 Finals:
Sekhou Cisse, 6'9, PF/C, Gateway Knights, 2027
The most dominant big man in the P32 lived up to his reputation in the finals, posting 21 points and 18 rebounds en route to winning MVP during Gateway's title run. He was simply elite at carving out low position on the block, showed amazing vision when faced with double teams, and excelled finishing through contact. A bit of a throwback, the level of production, consistency, and toughness make him an incredibly valuable asset in today's game.
Jaylen Mason, 6'4, SG, DC Assault 15U, 2029
At the 15U level, there wasn't anyone better than Jaylen Mason. The Fayeteville product finished through contact like a grown man, was always in attack mode, and showed his incredibly clutch game en route to DC Assault's title run. The MVP of the 15U Finals already holds a handful of D1 offers and is one to watch in North Carolina's sophomore class.
Gassim Toure, 6'4, SG, Gateway Knights 17U, 2027
Having missed early games due to an injury, Gassim Toure did his best Willis Reed impression and laced them up for Gateway's title game. The power guard made outstanding reads in pick and roll play, showed more confidence as a shooter (hit 3 threes), and left his mark as a two way player with his ability to defend every perimeter spot. Marquette was the latest big time program to offer Toure, who will be bringing his winning intangibles to the high major level next season.
Travis Martin, 6'4, PG/SG, Midwest Renegade 16U, 2028
Nicknamed "Baby Luka" by the internet, Travis Martin showed that he's more than an online sensation during Midwest Renegade's title run. Playing with an absolutely methodical pace, Martin controls the game with his own speed, can post smaller guards, and has elite court vision. Recently picking up his first D-1 offer, Travis will be adding plenty more if he keeps up his MVP level play.

Jayden Velez, 6'5, SG/SF, DC Assault 15U, 2029
Mason's perimeter running mate was Jayden Velez, another North Carolina prospect running with DC Assault. The lanky swingman was great creating his own shot, had effortless three point range, and will definitely dunk on you on the break. Already holding a number of D-1 offers, Velez has placed himself on the radar for shooting guards in the Southeast for 2029.
Mamadou Barry, 7'1, C, Gateway Knights 16U, 2028
No player helped themselves more in the past month in P32 than Mamadou Barry. At every bit of 7-foot without his shoes, Barry was the most massive player at the 16U level and his confidence grew all throughout the P32 season. He was outstanding running the floor, was an incredible defender, and played with a motor unlike most young big men. In the past month, Mamadou has picked up offers from Missoui, St. Louis, Southeast Missouri State, Lindenwood, Oral Roberts, and a handful of others.
