Pangos All West Frosh/Soph: 2030 Notables

The class of 2030 is officially here.  For those (like myself) born in the 80's, it makes us feel a tad old, but is a reminder that the game of basketball is constantly evolving.  Having not played a high school game yet, it's tough to sort out all of the prospects at this stage, but Pangos founder Dinos Trigonis got that done for us at Pangos All West Frosh/Soph.

We already took a look at Logan Kish, Micah Wafer, and Leo Morrow-Brown in our recap from the camp's opening night. The Canadian CIA Bella Vista backcourt of Harlem Graham (Co-MVP of the Cream of the Crop Top 30 game) and Brad Pitt stole the show on the camp's final day. Fellow international prospects William Boparai, Cuneyt Demirozu, and Daniel Mutombo also left lasting impressions on us throughout the camp.

Here's a deeper look at six more members of the class of 2030 who have a chance to be serious prospects from the Pangos All West Frosh/Soph Camp:

King Harris, 6'2, PG, St. John Bosco (Calif.) PG

The overall leading scorer of the event at 30.5 points per game on an impressive 65.9% from the field, King Harris made sure you were going to remember his name after Pangos All West. The scoring playmaker was a pure shot maker, was outstanding in transition, and put pressure on defenders by being in attack mode whenever he had the ball.  If Harris keeps up this level of production, he will have the opportunity to make an immediate impact on Bosco's varsity.

Logan Gardner, 6'4, SG, Crean Lutheran (Calif.) 

Another guard who was super productive against older competition, Logan Gardner was another 2030 who didn't back down against older competition.  The two way guard showed great instincts on the defensive end, was a menace once he got going downhill, and shot it well enough from 3-point range to keep you honest. Having seen Gardner at the MSHTV Camp a year ago, he has made considerable growth in his game and should be a difference maker for Crean Lutheran as a freshman.

Tristan Ariza, 6'4, SG, Inglewood HS (Calif.) PG

Next up in the Ariza family is Tristan Ariza, an intriguing 6-foot-3 two way guard. Looking like he's nowhere doing growing, Tristan was outstanding getting to his spots, put his length to work, and was automatic with his pull-up off the bounce. Given that both his brother (Tahj) and father (Trevor) are 6-foot-9 or better, don't be surprised to see Tristan develop into another oversized swingman.

Timothy Gammage III, 6'5, SF/PF, St. Mary's HS (Ariz.)

While many in Arizona opt to go the prep school route, Timothy Gammage III opted to go to traditional Phoenix power St. Mary's and has the tools to be next in line. The combo forward was really productive on both ends, utilized his length, and was remarkably unselfish for a camp setting. While it was my first time seeing Timothy, it certainly won't be the last, as he's one to watch when I'm in the Cactus State.

Noah Austin, 6'0, PG, Fairfax HS (Calif.)

Playing the game at his own speed, Noah Austin threw defenders off all weekend at Pangos with his ability to change speeds. The lefty was tough in isolation situations, created separation off of the bounce, and had a number of creative finishes while playing with incredible stamina. Given the two 30-plus point outings that he had in Long Beach, Austin stamped himself as one to watch.

Prince Outler, 6'5, SG/SF, The U Academy (Calif.) 

A player I wasn't familiar with leading into Pangos, Prince Outler immediately stood out as one of the stronger guards the event had to offer regardless of class.  He utilized his strength to finish through contact in the paint, shot the ball well from the perimeter, and was a surprisingly good passer for a player with such scoring talent. Toss in some quick hands defensively and you see why there's buzz surrounding him prior to playing a high school game.
