We were in Henderson, Nevada, for Wootten 150 Camp, getting an early look inside the new Henderson Sport & Social facility. The 180,000-square-foot complex has four convertible basketball courts and is scheduled for its public grand opening on October 16. It gave this year’s group a new setting to compete, and there was plenty of young talent to track.
Several players backed up what I had recently seen at the Pangos All-South Fr/So Camp, while others caught my attention with their scoring, decision-making and activity. Here are ten prospects who stood out to me.
Heir Jackson, 6’2 CG, 2030 / Duncanville (TX)
Heir had an impressive camp. Every time I turned around and looked at his court, he seemed to be catching a lob. A wiry, strong guard, he used his athleticism and length on both ends, whether that was blocking a shot, finishing a dunk or throwing a lob over an outstretched defender. People don’t always love jump passes, but Heir is good at getting in the air, making reads and knowing where the ball needs to go. His handle has tightened up, though there are still levels he can reach to navigate tight spaces and get to his spots cleaner. He can shoot it off the catch, has a high ceiling and was one of the best 2030s I saw at the camp.
Drew Cabana, 6’4 CG, 2029 / Chelsea High School (MI)
A skilled combo guard with quickness off the bounce, Drew showed craft getting to his spots and finishing around the basket. He can finish with either hand and use high-arc layups to get the ball over defenders. I liked his pull-up shooting and feel for the game. He processed things quickly, made the right reads and found ways to score with his jumper or finish inside. Cabana’s combination of skill, quickness and decision-making made him an effective offensive player in this group.
D.J. Hunter, 5’10 PG, 2029 / Somerset Losee (NV)
DJ was one of the better performers at the camp. A strong-framed point guard with cat-quick speed off the bounce, he consistently got to his spots and wherever he wanted on the floor. He showed a good pull-up game and knocked down six threes in one game during the evening session. Hunter is also an excellent cornerback, and that athleticism and toughness translate to the hardwood. His ability to create separation, get downhill and make shots made him a tough cover throughout the camp.
Vijay Keshaav, 6’3 CG, 2029 / Frisco Memorial (TX)
Just like at the Pangos All-South Camp, Vijay impressed me here. I liked how quickly he made decisions with the ball. He got to his spots off the bounce and made high-level passes, finding teammates in the corner or open shooters on the wing. He consistently made the right basketball play, keeping the ball moving and adjusting his reads when the defense shifted. Keshav’s ball skills, quickness and decision-making have improved, and that showed in his overall offensive play throughout the camp.
@Bruin247Sports 2028 PF Benji Berrouet was my player of the day at the Wootten 150, and 2030 prospects Heir Jackson, Freddie Forbes and Micah Clark stood out.
I also spoke with Lewis Uvwo, Josiah Rose and Jalen Davis.

Juleeyan Williams, 6’4 PG, 2029 / Corona Centennial (CA)
JuJu was one of the most effective guards I saw at Wootten Camp. A sturdy-framed point guard with a good pull-up game, especially in the midrange, he used a combination of power and finesse to get the looks he wanted. He initiated contact on drives, changed speeds well and used counters to create separation. I liked how comfortably he got to his spots and connected on pull-ups. His frame allows him to embrace contact, and there was an effortless feel to the way he created space and scored.
Nekeyma Martin II, 6’5 Wing, 2029 / Little Elm (TX)
A gangly, athletic wing, Nekeyma plays hard and flies up and down the floor. He had some impressive dunks in transition, where his effort and athleticism made him a standout in this group. He’s a streaky shooter off the catch, but you still have to close out when he has space to release. Martin is a confident player who plays with an edge, and I think that gives his productivity an added boost. His activity and ability to make athletic plays in the open court stood out throughout the camp.
Kevin Nichols, 6’3 SG, 2029 / Chaminade (CA)
Kevin is a microwave scorer with deep range and a quick trigger. He gets the ball out of his hands quickly, even off the bounce, and his release makes it hard to anticipate when he’s going to launch. A fearless, confident shooter, Nichols becomes a tough cover once he sees a few fall. He’s also a good athlete, showing that with some impressive chase-down blocks. His scoring stood out, and when he gets rolling, he can hurt you from just about anywhere on the court.
Ayden McClinton, 6’2 CG, 2029 / Allen (TX)
Another standout from Pangos All-South, Ayden put together a solid showing here. He was aggressive with his scoring approach, as usual, and showed a good drive-and-kick game. It was more of the same from what I saw at Pangos, but I like how he’s stacking productive days. McClinton has been consistent with his output, looking to score while finding teammates when the defense reacts to his drives.
Aaron Parker, 6’8 Wing, 2029 / NCGBBA
I liked Aaron’s activity level and athleticism. He was productive around the basket, rebounding and finishing with power. A good offensive rebounder, Parker made his biggest impact five feet in, but he also showed the ability to attack from the perimeter with straight-line drives. There were flashes of his shooting, though his inside game stood out most. Whether he was operating in the paint, pursuing rebounds or attacking off the bounce, his activity led to a productive showing.
King Bacot, 6’4 PG, 2029 / Petersburg (VA)
King is a sturdy-built, southpaw guard who knows how to play and get others involved. He uses his strength and strong base to power through defenders and get into the paint. He’s not an explosive vertical athlete, but he has creativity as a finisher, using the rim for protection on reverses, mixing in floaters and finishing with high arc. When he has a size advantage, he can lower his shoulder, absorb contact and finish. Bacot showed a solid drive-and-kick game and was effective in the ball-screen possessions I saw. I also liked the improvement in his jumper, especially as a standstill shooter. His strength, feel and ability to run the point make him a high-level player.
