New Balance P32 Elite 75 Day Two: Seven Who Shined

New Balance is here to stay. The brand that is thriving with its lifestyle and running shoes is quickly becoming a formidable force on the basketball side and that was evident in St. Louis with its P32 Elite 75 Camp to kick off the NCAA live period.

Held at the gorgeous Beal Center (home base to Bradley Beal Elite), the Elite 75 brought the finest players who donned the NB together for a camp-type setting prior to the circuit's P32 play with their club teams. The open format attracted college coaches and NBA teams alike, as it was certified for the best of both levels to take in the action of prospects in an individual showcase as a primer to their games with their respective AAU games.

With each team playing two games on Thursday under squad names representing the NBA talent that New Balance has to offer such as Cooper Flagg, Kawhi Leonard, Tyrese Maxey, Darius Garland, and more, we were able to see the next generation of prospects rocking New Balance before they even hit the college ranks. 

Here's a closer look at seven players who shined in the final leg of the New Balance P32 Elite 75 Showcase:

K'Majay Jenkins, 6'6", SF, SKG Legacy 17U, 2027

One of the best swingmen on the New Balance P32 circuit, K'Majay Jenkins showed why his game was perfectly tailored for a camp setting in the final day of Elite 75. Jenkins was outstanding creating for himself out of isolation situations, shot the ball with more consistency when he was going downhill, and was a devastating finisher at the rim.

Having recently reclassified up to the class of 2027, K'Majay has over a dozen high major programs battling for his services.

Sekhou Cisse, 6'9", PF/C, Gateway Knights 17U, 2027

A man among boys, Sekhou Cisse used every bit of his 260-pound frame to punish smaller forwards on the block at Elite 75.  He utilized his nimble footwork to go around defenders, finished through contact at the rim, and was arguably the best passing big that the event had to offer.

Cisse's footwork, skill set, and overall level of productivity have made him a high major priority big man.

Tristan Franklin, 6'5", SG, Team Breakdown DMV 17U, 2028

One of the better two-way guards at the Elite 75, Tristan Franklin made his presence felt within the flow of the game.  The energetic wing was great shooting from the corners, utilized his length on both ends, and defended all three perimeter spots.  Holding a handful of D-I offers, Franklin showed that he is a plug-and-play guy with his play in St. Louis.

Gassim Toure, 6'4", SG, Gateway Knights 17U, 2027

Another outstanding two-way guard, Gassim Toure led all scorers in the final day of Elite 75 with his 24-point outing.  The super-strong guard was outstanding finishing through contact, was a nightmare to stop once he started getting downhill, and made you pay if you left him open from the 3-point line. 

Toure has already been on campus at a number of programs with Marquette and Tulsa being the latest to place scholarship offers on the table.

Mamadou Barry, 7'0", C, Gateway Knights 16U, 2028

The biggest player playing on the second day of the event (7'3" Toussaint Malukila was out with injury), Mamadou Barry showed the continual growth in his game at P32.  The rapidly developing big man was an absolute game-changer at the rim, really ran the floor well, and played with a motor on both ends of the floor.

In fact, the progress that Mamadou made was so impressive that an emerging SEC program offered him a scholarship before the games were over Thursday morning.

Jaeden Udean, 6'2", PG/SG, Gain Elite 17U, 2027

The most electric scorer in the state of Minnesota lived up to his reputation at the New Balance P32 Elite 75, pouring in 38 points and 23 points during his final two games of the Showcase.  The lefty utilized his handle to get to his jump shot, was perfectly comfortable shooting both off the dribble or from the catch, and hit five consecutive threes during the event's opening game. 

The natural scoring ability that Udean possesses has undoubtedly made him a D-I prospect.

Alex Alexander, 6'10", PF, Max Levels Elite Dallas 17U, 2029

A consensus five-star recruit, Alex Alexander left no doubt in anyone's mind why he is considered to have the highest ceiling of anyone at Elite 75.  The powerful lefty put his frame to work finishing through contact, made a number of tough catches in the paint, and showed he can exploit mismatches with his explosive first step. 

The Co-MVP of the Pangos All South Frosh/Soph Camp continued to build off of that performance and is one of the bright spots moving forward on the New Balance P32 circuit.
