The 20th annual Pangos All-American Camp came to a close on Tuesday afternoon in Las Vegas. The final day of the event included a round of games to get the morning rolling before moving into the All-Star portion of the camp. The Top 60 and Top 30 Cream of the Crop Games marked the conclusion of the event, showcasing all of the top performers from the last three days, including plenty of Kentucky targets. As we’ve done the last two days, we broke down which prospects we thought shined more than the rest.

KJ Lewis (2023) 4-star, No. 31 overall | 6-4, 185-pound SG

Known as a defense-first guard with clear offensive deficiencies — specifically as a shooter — the Arizona pledge was a consistent scoring force for his team throughout the week at Pangos. He capped things off with a barrage of makes from three in his final camp game, on top of his typical production as a dunker and defensive specialist.

His offensive limitations have been the key reason he’s never separated himself as a clear top-25 prospect in 2023. This week in Vegas, he did just that.

Cody Williams (2023) 4-star, No. 38 overall | 6-7, 180-pound SF

Despite being listed as a wing, Cody Williams is best when he’s running the show. The 6-foot-7 point-forward has impressive handling and shooting abilities for someone his size. He’s gained a few inches over the last year but didn’t lose the point guard skills with it. Williams was spectacular early on in the camp, dropping back-to-back performances of 30 and 31 points, and followed it up on the final day as he was named to the Top 30 Cream of the Crop Game to close out the event. Kentucky has just recently begun to build a relationship with Williams, who is likely to be one of the biggest stock risers of the summer.

Ian Jackson (2024) 4-star, No. 3 overall | 6-5, 180-pound PG

The major Kentucky target is the top two-way threat in the rising junior class, a dynamic playmaker and athlete on offense and a dog on defense. His shot is improving and he’s growing more confident, but issues with consistency remain overall. That wasn’t the case on day three, though, when the 6-foot-4 guard knocked down an absurd nine 3-pointers on high efficiency. He did so coming off screens, creating his own shot and in transition, absolutely torching the net on what seemed to be every launch.

And it wasn’t just a hot day from deep. Jackson also did what he does best, providing energy and intensity on the defensive end of the floor while finishing strong at the basket, including one rim-shaking dunk through contact.

Jackson would go on to earn Top 30 Cream of the Crop Game honors, where he finished with nine points, three assists and two rebounds in 13 minutes.

Isaiah Elohim (2024) 4-star, No. 5 overall | 6-5, 205-pound SF

Already built like a tank as a rising high school junior, get ready to hear more about Isaiah Elohim over the next year or so. He cracked the Top 30 Cream of the Crop Game for his three-day camp performance, playing and defending multiple positions while showcasing some highly intriguing playmaking skills. Elohim is big enough to get to his spots at will and is a force to slow down when he has a full head of steam. His physicality sticks out immediately but there is plenty of skill still being developed there, too. Kentucky is showing early interest.

Elliot Cadeau (2024) 4-star, No. 8 overall | 6-2, 165-pound PG

Elliot Cadeau is quietly one of the more impressive athletes in all of high school basketball. He’s only 6-foot-2 (and even that might be generous) but his elevation matches even the highest of flyers. Couple that with an uncanny ability to thrive as a point guard on the open floor and you have one of the premier ball handlers in the ’24 class. Cadeau can get to the rim with ease and possesses a tight handle when making his moves. He can become a bit stagnant in a slowed-down halfcourt setting but looked mostly comfortable in Vegas, also making the Top 30 Cream of the Crop Game. Kentucky is taking it slow with Cadeau’s recruitment, but the school is keeping plenty of tabs on him.

KJ Windham (2024) NR | 6-3, 165-pound SG

Coming into the event without a recruiting page at On3, 247Sports, Rivals or ESPN — Prep Hoops is currently the only outlet with a profile — the Ben Davis High School (Indianapolis, IN) standout proved he belonged in a sea of top-level competition across all age groups. The 6-foot-3, 165-pound lefty showed off a smooth and confident shooting stroke, knocking down 3-pointers with ease on catch-and-shoot looks. He also found success on floaters and confidently attacked the basket for finishes through contact. After an impressive three-day stretch at camp, Windham was named to the Top 60 Cream of the Crop Game, exploding from deep on high volume.

— Jack Pilgrim

Isaiah Abraham (2024) NR | 6-6, 180-pound SF

If you’re looking for a superlative for best dunker of camp, Abraham may be your guy. The athletic wing was a force in transition and regularly threw down posters over defenders under the rim. He was aggressive with the ball and looking to score on touches, and did so effectively.
