While plenty of players could be included for this list, here is the first group of top performers from this past weekend up in Milwaukee at Summer Jam.
Gilbert Flagel – 2026 – SF – Drive Pro Select
Flagel had a few star performances at Summer Jam as he has just continued to greatly improve his game. This included a 34 point game as well to 21 points in another. Not only is he 6’5” with some strength and moves well with the ball, but also an elevated scoring ability. He is a tough matchup using his size, physicality, and moves to get to the basket but also his ability to hit pull up jumpers in the mid-range and outside at a high percentage. On Saturday he was incredibly clutch down the stretch with a few key baskets late including a go ahead put back with just 8 seconds left.
Jordan Fuller – 2026 – PG – Michigan Warriors
Fuller was a huge piece of the Warriors run to the championship game especially with his stellar play on Sunday as he just got better throughout the tournament. He scored 23 points in the semifinals victory and then took it up a level in the title game scoring a game high 31 points. This included some key baskets late in the semifinals to seal the win. The bulk of his scoring came on the attack as plays very quick with the ball and was often getting all the way to the basket. He is such a skilled scorer with the ball in his hands as he also shoots it well off the dribble. It wasn’t just his scoring, the guard also showed his ability to play lock down defense. Fuller recently committed to Tiffin.
Greg Grays – 2026 – PG – D Rice Elite
In one of the top games of the tournament, Grays led D Rice Elite to a win over Chapman North in a showcase game while scoring 23 points. He then helped his team reach the final four of the tournament. In his 23 point performance, Grays displayed his elite shot making ability. Whether creating for himself in the mid-range or from three, the 6’2” guard was hitting tough jumpers off the dribble at a high percentage.
Zahir Haqq – 2026 – PG – The Academy Blue
There were few players who impressed as much as Haqq throughout the three days of Summer Jam. He was a huge reason his team was able to advance to the round of eight knocking off some very good teams along the way. The point guard scored it extremely well all tournament long including a 31 point game in a tight sweet 16 victory Saturday. Then on Sunday he kept on scoring with a 32 point game in another win. On the attack, Haqq is so tough to stop. He has good quickness and changes his speeds effectively but is also so strong for his size bullying his way to the bucket. Haqq was also effective creating for himself in the mid-range.
Jakobe Louris – 2026 – SG – Michigan Playmakers
The play of Louris throughout the tournament led the Playmakers into the final four. This included a team high 20 points to start them Saturday in the round of 16 and then a team high 14 points in a dominant elite eight victory. He also scored 16 points in their opening game of bracket play. Louris is a long and active wing guard with a versatile skill set and scoring ability. Over the course of the tournament, he scored it in every possible way. Whether it was on cuts, spotting up for threes, strong all around the paint, getting out in transition, pull up jumpers, Louris scored it very effectively.
Ethan Matz – 2026 – G – Full Package
The breakout summer of Matz finished with him playing a significant role in Full Package capturing the 17U Platinum Elite title at Summer Jam. He was tremendous throughout the tournament in multiple areas with all he can do. He also had some big moments including the game winning three point and one jumper in the final seconds of the quarterfinals. Matz was a standout with his scoring on Saturday with 18 points in the round of 16 and then 21 points in the elite 8. The 6’3” guard then showed off his other skills in the championship game with his distributing right from the start. He was often getting into the defense and dumping off passes for easy baskets for his teammates seeing the floor well. Matz is a smart and skilled guard with size who plays very effectively both with or without the ball.
Kayden Schultz – 2026 – G – Chapman North
Schultz had multiple special performances at Summer Jam. This included starting it off Friday with 33 points in their showcase game. He hit five threes in that game and also knocked down five threes in another game. Even as such a gifted shooter from the outside, he is an even better shot maker creating in the mid-range. His mid-range game is so tough defend with his one or two hard dribbles and then quickly pulls with a high release.
