Players to Watch
- Dylan Mingo (LuHi Class of 2026): A 6-foot-5 combo guard who uses his length and size effectively on defense and in rebounding. He is an excellent ball-handler and finisher around the rim.
- Tahj Ariza (Link Class of 2026): The Oregon commit is a skilled offensive player with tools that may enable him to guard one through four at the next level and beyond. Son of 18-year NBA player Trevor Ariza.
- Demarcus Henry (AZ Compass): The 6-foot-8 lefty is highly effective attacking defenses from all three levels. The son of the late NFL wideout, Chris Henry, Demarcus has an older brother (Chris Henry Jr.) who is an Ohio State football commit considered to be the top wide receiver in the class of 2026.
- Michai White (Brewster Class of 2028): One of the top underclassmen in high school basketball, he makes the right reads off pick-and-rolls. White and Antonio Pemberton give Brewster Academy one of the best backcourts in the country.
All games from Las Vegas will be available on the NBA App and NBA TV, with all EYBL Scholastic Showcase games being open to NBA team front office personnel for player evaluation purposes.
