The 2025 Chris Paul and Jayson Tatum Elite Camp took place in Las Vegas on July 30–31, bringing together many of the nation’s top high school and college prospects for two days of high-level drills, scrimmages, and NBA mentorship. Hosted by veterans Chris Paul and Jayson Tatum, the camp featured active on-court participation from Paul, Paolo Banchero, and Ryan Dunn, who joined the scrimmages and guided players with hands-on instruction. With scouts and executives on hand, the invite-only showcase once again proved to be a valuable proving ground for the next wave of elite talent. Here are notes on all 29 college prospect’s performances.
Matt Able
6’5” | Tampa, FL
NC State | Fr.
Able was one of the true breakout performers at the camp. The incoming NC State freshman impressed with his polish and poise playing against older competition. He showcased a strong frame, excellent three-point shooting, and a high basketball IQ. His passing feel and ability to find teammates on lobs stood out. He also handled the ball well, pulled up confidently, and defended at a high level. Able has real one-and-done intrigue and looks like a high-level floor-spacing wing with ideal off guard skills.
Bennett Stirtz
6’3” | Liberty, MO
Iowa | Sr.
Stirtz had a quietly impressive showing, reinforcing his reputation as a high-IQ, fundamentally sound combo guard. He broke free for a dunk on Day 1 and knocked down multiple threes on Day 2, showing he can both finish and space the floor. While he lacks elite burst, his polished skillset, smart decision-making, and toughness stood out in every setting. His parents were in attendance providing support, underscoring the strong family bond behind his character. A very solid kid with leadership traits and a mature approach, Stirtz played to the billing and a first-round selection is within his grasp.
Elliot Cadeau
6’1” | Brooklyn, NY
Michigan | Jr.
Cadeau’s craft and vision remain impressive, but his lack of size and physicality is a major hurdle for NBA upside. He struggled to create separation against bigger, longer defenders, which is concerning given his stature. Still, he’s a smart decision-maker with the ball and plays with good pace. If given space, he has surprising bounce and can deliver highlight dunks. Developing into a consistent outside shooter in the mold of Patty Mills could keep him on the radar, but he has work to do.
Braden Smith
6’0” | Westfield, IN
Purdue | Sr.
Extremely skilled with the ball in his hands, Smith makes up for his physical limitations with elite decision-making and confidence. He’s a fantastic passer and knockdown shooter, compensating for his lack of size and strength. Plays bigger than he is thanks to his poise and leadership. NBA role may be limited, but he could thrive overseas or in the G League.
Josh Hubbard
5’11” | Jackson, MS
Mississippi State | So.
Compact and strong, Hubbard is a dangerous shooter with deep range. His size limits his upside at the NBA level, especially defensively, but he’s a bucket-getter who could have a long career professionally, especially in the G League or overseas. Tough competitor.
Robert Wright III
6’1” | Wilmington, DE
Baylor | Jr.
Crafty ball-handler who uses spin dribbles and creative angles to get to the rim. A savvy scorer but small for the next level. Will need to continue improving as a facilitator and shooter to offset size concerns. Toughness and skill give him a shot.
Donovan Dent
6’2” | Riverside, CA
UCLA | So.
Older prospect who has transferred to UCLA from New Mexico. Solid athlete who plays hard, but is an undersized two at the NBA level. Strong slasher and decent defender, but outside shot and positional fit will be key to his long-term projection.
Kingston Flemings
6’3” | San Antonio, TX
Houston | Sr.
Flemings was among the top prospects on Day 1, showcasing elite athleticism and creativity as a slasher and playmaker. His first step and passing vision stood out, though his jumper remains a work in progress. How he fits within Houston’s system and develops his range will determine his pro trajectory. A clear talent with high upside.
PJ Haggerty
6’3” | Baytown, TX
Kansas State | Sr.
Haggerty is a pure scorer who thrives in isolation and does damage attacking mismatches. He was a prolific scorer at Memphis and had a solid showing at the combine. His outside shot is decent but still needs refinement, and he struggles against length on the perimeter. Now transferring to Kansas State, he’ll look to expand his role. More of a two than a one, his lack of point guard skills limits his versatility at the next level. To rise up draft boards, he’ll need to show real growth as a playmaker and improve his shooting consistency.
John Mobley Jr.
6’2” | Columbus, OH
Ohio State | Jr.
Arguably the best shooter in the gym. Mobley has NBA range and a quick trigger, but his lack of size and explosiveness limits his upside. He’s gotten stronger, which helps defensively and finishing through contact. If he can develop more combo guard skills, he could follow the Seth Curry path as a specialist.
Labaron Philon
6’3” | Mobile, AL
Alabama | So.
High-energy guard who defends with tenacity and plays with emotion. His shooting appears to be advancing, but he still needs better shot selection and added range. Decision-making remains inconsistent. He showed flashes of brilliance, including a late-game defensive stand and block on Chris Paul, but also forced plays and turned the ball over. Philon clearly has the tools and toughness, but continued refinement will be key to unlocking his potential.
Anthony Robinson II
6’3” | Tallahassee, FL
Missouri | Jr.
One of the more underrated performers at the camp, Robinson showed confidence creating off the dribble and was vocal and assertive on both ends. He shot the ball well, hitting 40 percent from three last season at Missouri, and posted a strong 3.5 to 1.7 assist-to-turnover ratio. After averaging 9 points per game as a sophomore, he could be poised for a breakout junior year. His combination of shot-making, ball control, and leadership gives him a real chance to rise.
Meleek Thomas
6’4” | Pittsburgh, PA
Arkansas | Fr.
An intense competitor with a very unorthodox, herky-jerky style, Thomas brings a unique energy to the floor. He showcased deep shooting range and highlight-reel finishing ability throughout camp. His shot selection can be erratic, often leaning into threes from well beyond the arc, but when he’s locked in, he’s electric. There’s a bit of Leandro Barbosa in his game, with bursts of speed and unpredictable movement. He still needs to tighten up his playmaking and decision-making to become a true combo guard, but the upside is undeniable.
Solo Ball
6’4” | Leesburg, VA
UConn | Jr.
An athletic guard who brought energy on both ends and showed bounce finishing at the rim. Ball is a true two-guard who made some big shots during the scrimmages, including a few three-pointers that hinted at progress in his perimeter game. His outside shooting remains a swing skill, and continued development as a consistent shooter will be key. Toughness and overall consistency must keep advancing, but he has the tools to carve out a role as a defensive-minded rotation guard.
Silas Demary Jr.
6’3” | Raleigh, NC
UConn | Sr.
Steady and composed, Demary is a capable shooter and sound playmaker. He doesn’t have top-end burst or vertical explosion, which limits his ability to finish around the rim. Still, his maturity, shooting, and toughness give him a shot at earning pro looks.
Kiyan Anthony
6’6” | New York, NY
Syracuse | Fr.
Anthony is a developing wing with intriguing tools and strong basketball bloodlines as the son of Carmelo Anthony. His length and feel as a shooter give him some long-term appeal, but he’s still early in the process and far from a finished product. His frame is very thin, and he’ll need to add significant strength while continuing to refine his skills. The shooting touch shows flashes, but it’s not yet consistent. A long runway ahead, but he’ll have the opportunity to grow at Syracuse.
Miles Byrd
6’6” | Stockton, CA
San Diego State | Jr.
Byrd brings a good deal of intrigue thanks to his size and flashes of skill as a shooter, passer, and defender, but he still lacks the consistency to be considered polished. He was somewhat quiet overall, especially given his status as one of the event’s more highly projected prospects. He looked better on Day 2, converting some drives and knocking down a few pull-up jumpers. The talent is there, but he’ll need to make the leap from role player to college star and solidify himself as a mid first-rounder through consistent play.
Isaiah Evans
6’6” | Fayetteville, NC
Duke | So.
Evans continues to show why he’s one of the top long-term prospects in the gym. While he still hasn’t added much weight, he appears stronger and more capable of playing through contact. His elite outside shooting was on display, and he punctuated his performance with a monster two-handed dunk in traffic. He disappeared somewhat on Day 2 but remains firmly on the radar as a high-upside wing. Confidence, skill, and explosiveness are all trending upward.
Donald Hand
6’5” | Virginia Beach, VA
Boston College | Jr.
Hand has a smooth game and impressed with deep-range shooting and good size for a shooting guard. He’s not an overwhelming athlete but has a solid handle and finishes effectively when driving. With continued efficiency and physical development, he could emerge as a sleeper in the junior class.
Otega Oweh
6’5” | Newark, NJ
University of Kentucky | Sr.
Oweh is a strong, athletic wing with good size for the two spot, but his lack of shooting touch is a major concern. His form needs significant reworking, and he struggled to find rhythm from outside throughout camp. Defensively he competes, but improving his jumper is essential to elevating his pro outlook.
Billy Richmond III
6’7” | Memphis, TN
Arkansas | So.
A high-level athlete with an improving lefty stroke, Richmond has tools that stand out. He plays with length, bounce, and energy, giving him upside as a versatile slasher and wing defender. His shot and handle show flashes but still need refinement, and added strength will help him finish more consistently through contact. Skill development and consistent focus still need to catch up to his physical gifts. He has breakout potential if the perimeter game continues to progress.
Andrej Stojakovic
6’7” | Sacramento, CA
University of Illinois | Jr.
Stojakovic looked sharp going up against pro-level competition, attacking the rim with confidence and shooting the ball well in both drills and scrimmages. He has a smooth, versatile offensive game and showed he can rise to the occasion. His stock is rising as he adjusts to a new setting at Illinois.
Josh Dalton
6’10” | Concord, NC
Loyola Marymount | Fr.
A bit of a mystery entering the event, Dalton showed enough to pique interest. He hit a three in scrimmage play and moved well laterally on defense, flashing some ability to defend the perimeter. Still raw, but he has size and touch that could develop at the college level.
Thomas Haugh
6’9” | New Oxford, PA
Florida | Jr.
One of the older players in the gym, Haugh turns 23 around next year’s draft. He’s added noticeable muscle and played with a strong presence. His shot looked good and he competed with intensity. While his age limits his ceiling, he showed enough to be in the conversation as a bubble first-rounder depending on who ultimately stays in the draft pool.
Karter Knox
6’6” | Tampa, FL
Arkansas | So.
Knox continues to impress with his NBA-ready frame and improved jumper. The 7-foot wingspan and strong build give him clear 3-and-D potential, and his shooting numbers will be closely watched this season. He’s trending toward first-round territory and may push even higher with continued development.
Jackson McAndrew
6’10” | Plymouth, MN
Creighton | So.
McAndrew is an elite shooter with legitimate stretch-four potential. He has good length and touch but lacks pop around the rim, especially from a standstill. His legs are stiff, and he needs momentum to generate athletic movement. Adding strength without sacrificing agility will be a key next step.
Kohl Rosario
6’6” | Miami, FL
Kansas | Fr.
Rosario is an explosive athlete with a strong catch-and-shoot game from beyond the arc. His off-the-dribble creation is limited for now, but he brings energy and verticality to the wing. If he sharpens his ball-handling, he could be a valuable floor spacer and slasher hybrid.
Derrion Reid
6’8” | Augusta, GA
Oklahoma | So.
Reid is a long, rangy forward with intriguing versatility. His perimeter shot fell at a decent clip in camp, and he showed better lateral movement on defense than expected. He’s a bit of a tweener and doesn’t have elite speed, but his feel, length, and evolving face-up game give him intrigue.
Yaxel Lendeborg
6’10” | Paterson, NJ
Michigan | Sr.
An older player with a reputation for drifting in and out of games, Lendeborg remains a bit of an enigma. He hit a couple of threes on Day 2 and showed flashes of versatility as a skilled big. Much like Danny Wolf, the player he replaces at Michigan, Lendeborg lacks foot speed but offers a similar blend of size, passing ability, and perimeter touch. His feel for the game and guard-like skill set are intriguing, but his ability to consistently impact high-level competition remains a question.
