The 2026 Pangos All West Frosh/Soph Camp is officially in the books. Pangos founder Dinos Trigonis put together an outstanding group that blended talent, athleticism, and outstanding positional size. For an individual showcase, the level of competition was quite impressive and it was a testament to the players themselves with the effort that they put forward in the camp games to keep the intensity at a relatively high level for an early September Showcase. Furthermore, with 160 players from nine different states, it provided an opportunity to lay eyes on the next wave of talent from out west.
The L.A. event has had the likes of James Harden, Evan Mobley, Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, Brandon Jennings, and Jrue Holiday, plus others, and all laced them up for Trigonis’ underclassmen camp in Los Angeles over the years. Given the amount of positional size and athleticism at the 2026 All West Frosh/Soph Camp, we will undoubtedly see more eventually putting on an NBA jersey by the time that it’s all said and done.
Here were six players who shined in the final day of the 2026 Pangos All West Frosh/Soph Camp:
Kaleb Banfield, 6’7, SF, CIA Bella Vista (Ariz), 2029
A swingman with size, Kaleb Banfield did a little bit of everything at Pangos All West, earning him the overall camp MVP honors in Long Beach. He utilized his size on both ends of the floor, showed outstanding hands as a finisher, and was comfortable playing both inside and out. He was arguably the most effective and productive player in the event. The Canadian had some outstanding moments in the Under Armour Association with Canada Elite and continues the pipeline from up north to CIA Bella Vista.
Roman Felix, 6’8, PF, San Joaquin Memorial (Cal.), 2029
As far as numbers were concerned, there may not have been a better power forward at Pangos than Roman Felix. The super strong sophomore was a terror on the glass on both ends, thrived finishing through contact, and kept his motor at an extremely high rate all throughout the event. The son of former Inglewood (Calif.) Fresno State star and Sonics forward Noel Felix has great DNA and has the potential to follow in his father’s footsteps.

Phil Reed Jr., 6’2, PG, Palisades HS (Cal.), 2029
One of the most productive 2029’s in California lived up to his reputation at Pangos Frosh/Soph, getting it done on both ends of the court. The two way playmaker put immense pressure on the rock defensively, got to his sweet spots offensively, and totally played within himself at the camp. After earning Cal-Hi Sports all-state freshman honors last season at Palisades, Reed already holds countless D-1 offers and will be adding more sooner rather than later.
Turic Gol Chol, 7’1, C, Utah Prep (Utah), 2029
The biggest player in the event made sure that he left a lasting impact on both ends of the court. The agile big man was great as a rim protector, proved to be a viable finisher above the rim in traffic, and did not shy away from contract despite his slender frame. The product of South Sudan has the size and athleticism to make him one of the more interesting 7-footers to watch in the class of 2029.
Brad Pitt, 6’4, SG, Bella Vista (Ariz.), 2030
The definition of a power guard, Brad Pitt was in attack mode every time that he got the rock at Pangos. The physically imposing freshman was near impossible to stop once he got going downhill, looked to dunk everything in paint, and proved that he could finish through contact against older competition. One of the better 2030 wings out of Canada, Pitt looks to continue his growth and development at defending Nike EYBL Scholastic Champ and defending FAB 50 No. 1 CIA Bella Vista.
Harlem Noel-Graham, 6’4, SG, CIA Bella Vista (Ariz), 2030
In one of the more sizzling shooting performances of the event, Harlem Noel-Graham showed that he’s not one to be played with when it comes to shooting the ball, winning co-MVP of the Pangos All West Frosh/Soph Cream of The Crop Top 30 game along with 6-foot-7 2030 forward Cuneyt Demirozu of Campbell Hall (North Hollywood, Calif.). The lanky guard hit four-of-five 3-pointers in a five minute stretch, creating separation for himself off of the bounce in the bulk of those situations. Having put up monster numbers with Canada Elite in the Under Armour Association, Harlem looks to carry that momentum to the States with CIA Bella Vista.
