CARSON, Ca. – Time, through the passing of college seasons and NBA Drafts, will ultimately provide a more accurate appraisal.

But the 13^th Pangos All-American High School Camp, which wrapped up mid-Sunday afternoon at Cal State Dominguez Hills, appeared to be one of the better ones produced and directed by event founder Dinos Trigonis of the Belmont Shore Basketball Club.

The approximately 110 players who participated in the three-day event included a healthy portion of quality prospects from all regions of the United States – most notably the East Coast and, of course, Southern California.

CARSON, Ca. – The East Coast is being represented quite admirably at the 13^th Pangos All-American Camp, thank you very much.

Rawle Alkins, Myles Powell, Keith Williams, Taurean Thompson, Isaiah Washington, Shamorie Ponds, Bryce Aiken and Mustapha Heron are among those who were seeing to that on Saturday’s second day of the camp at Cal State Dominguez Hills.

*Alkins (6-foot-4/NYC Christ The King), who had a strong spring for the New York Rens on the adidas circuit after a sterling prep junior season, continued to make a strong on-court argument that he is as good as any “shooting/2 guard” in the national class of 2016.

CARSON, Ca. – The 13^th version of the Pangos All-American Camp tipped off Friday night at Cal State Dominguez Hills.

Roughly 100 players were on hand, with some expected attendees unable to play because of illness or injury and some others expected to show up on Saturday morning.

The players are spread over 12 teams, split between “ACC” and “Pac 12” school names.

Of the six games played Friday night, I zeroed in on the two played on Court 1, beginning with the “ACC” clash between “Duke” and “Georgia Tech”:

*Mustapha Heron (Class of 2016/Waterbury, CT, Sacred Heart) is a 6-foot-5 left hander with the body making him look like one of those “big” modern National Football League receivers, a la Larry Fitzgerald, who catch 80-plus footballs per season.
