Antonio Pemberton leads top performers at adidas 3SSB

Jordan Page stood out at the adidas 3SSB tournament.

Rock Hill, S.C. –

The adidas 3SSB Championship has brought out the best of some of the top high school players in the country. Anthony Edwards, Donovan Mitchell, Zion Williamson and Darryn Peterson all played youth basketball on this circuit.

This weekend, college coaches and NBA scouts were on hand to watch the action at Rock Hill Sports & Events Center teams went from round robin to single elimination games.

There were buzzer beaters and heartbreaks, and players that will absolutely see their stock rise. Here are the top performers from the 3SSB Championships.

Antonio Pemberton, Class of 2027

Pemberton has been the player to watch this weekend at the 3SSB Championship. He is such a smooth operator with the ball in his hands and doesn’t get sped up or frazzled when the double team comes or when the game is on the line.

The biggest and best game of the weekend came in an upset win over powerhouse Compton Magic when Mass Rivals was down by one with time expiring and it was Pemberton that put up a fadeaway jumper from the left corner over 6-foot-10 Darius Wabbington that went in and advanced Mass Rivals to the quarterfinals. He finished with 29 points, four assists in the thriller over Compton Magic. The next day he dropped 31 points, four assists and committed zero turnovers in 24 minutes in the 83-79 win over ASAK Elite.

Kansas and South Carolina are his most recent offers and Tom Izzo (Michigan State), Shaka Smart (Marquette), Luke Murray (Boston College) and assistants from North Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky, Auburn and Florida State were all watching from the sidelines in his two big games.

RJ Evans, Class of 2029

Evans is the son of Reggie Evans, a 13-year NBA veteran.

The 6-foot-7 wing is one of the top players in the incoming sophomore class and is already being heavily recruited by several high major programs. Evans is playing up two divisions at the 17U level for Austin Rivers SE Elite and went off for 32 points, nine rebounds and four assists in a very close 79-76 loss to Garner Road on Friday.

Evans has a natural feel for the game and partnered with his positional size and length on the perimeter, he’s been a player NBA scouts and college coaches have been prioritizing all summer long. Evans holds a handful of early offers including Miami, Florida State, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisville and Ole Miss and is a player to watch in the 2029 class.

Jordan Page, Class of 2027

Page is coming off a gold medal win with Team USA at the U17 FIBA World Cup in Istanbul where the team went undefeated and beat every opponent by an average of 48.5 points. The 6-foot-5 wing is one of the most athletic players in the class and has a great motor, particularly in transition. Page had 22 points (12-for-17 from the field, 4-for-7 from three), nine rebounds and five assists in the win over Austin Rivers SE Elite to make it to the quarterfinals.

Page rose up the rankings after a strong spring season and hasn’t let up at all. His shot selection is improving on the mid-range and he’s starting to get more consistent with his three-ball. Page, a native of Raleigh, North Carolina, holds offers from North Carolina, NC State, Baylor, Florida State, Indiana, UConn and Kentucky.

Darius Wabbington, Class of 2027

The 6-foot-11 center out of Arizona is instantly recognizable on the court with his frame and the way he moves so well for a near 7-footer. The most underrated part of his game is his passing ability as a big. The court vision that he has for his age is elite and he’s able to make great reads over the defense with his teammates cutting or running the lanes in transition. Wabbington averaged 15.8 points and 6.4 rebounds during the regular 3SSB season and even though Compton Magic lost two of their last three games, Wabbington logged 20 or more in each game and in the win over ETG Midwest he also added 10 rebounds and five assists.

Wabbington is the No. 12 player in the class,

according to 247 Sports

, and has scheduled fall official visits to Arizona, Indiana, Louisville and Texas with Kentucky, Baylor and North Carolina also in the mix.

Yann Kamagate, Class of 2028

His numbers on the stat sheet might not jump off the page immediately but Kamagate absolutely passes the eye test as a projected NBA prospect with his size and length at 7-feet with a 7-foot-9 wingspan. He’s playing up a division with Compton Magic and is the other half of the twin tower in the paint with Wabbington. Kamagate recorded 13 points, 14 rebounds, and three blocks against ETG Midwest on Thursday and followed that up with 12 points, eight rebounds and four blocks in the one-point loss to Mass Rivals on Friday. The rim protection is already elite with his timing and footspeed, even when going up against players a year older and guards a little faster and crafty around the rim.

Kamagate is the No. 2 player in the incoming junior class (right behind AJ Williams),

, and coaches from Duke, Arizona, BYU, Alabama, Arkansas and Michigan were watching him multiple times this weekend.

Kamsi Awaka, Class of 2027

Awaka was the Defensive Player of the Year during the regular season on the 3SSB Circuit. He is the younger brother of Tobe Awaka, who is playing for the Chicago Bulls during Summer League and played last season at Arizona.

Awaka can defend multiple positions, extending to the perimeter off the switch and he has excellent timing as a shot blocker. He’s averaging three blocks per game during the season and he’s the quarterback of the paint that helped New Heights reach the championship game.

Awaka had 13 points and four blocks against D1 Minnesota in the semifinals and his confidence has improved tremendously since the spring. The four-star recruit out of New Jersey holds offers from UConn, Arizona, Maryland and Georgia Tech.

Cooper Zachary, Class of 2027

What a tournament for the sharpshooter out of Indiana.

Zachary came out firing and didn’t let up until the semifinals game where Midwest Basketball Club ran out of gas. To get to the quarterfinals game, Zachary posted 15 points (4-7 from three) 3 steals, 2 assists against Mikel Brown Jr. Elite and then led his team the entire game, forcing overtime and closing out Team Lillard 69-68. Team Lillard won the 16U division and was hoping to repeat this year but was upset by Zachary and his squad when he effortlessly put up 19 points in the win. Their run ended in the semifinals while facing a tough Mass Rivals squad. Even with his size at 5-foot-10,

Zachary showed grit, a high IQ and got the attention of some high major coaches. Indiana and Nevada are two of the schools involved with many more college programs showing interest after his strong performance.
