2025 Atlanta Jam: Top Performers, Part III
SUWANEE, GA - The NCAA Live Period lives in the Peach State and the 2025 edition of the Atlanta Jam unveiled a number of players worthy of a deep dive on the recruiting front. Our staff rolls out part III of our top overall performers.
RELATED: Top Performers, Part I || Part II
Grant Smith, We Play Basketball: It was a big-time weekend for the new add to this We Play Basketball group. Smith caught my eye by how hard he was playing on both ends. By the end of the game, Smith had 21 points and that was the trend all weekend. Smith was great running the break for easy layups and dunks, and in the half court he scored it in many ways, from offensive rebound put backs, beating his man one-on-one downhill, and he showed a reliable perimeter shot. Smith will be a player that will have my attention for the next few events. - Mekhi McKinney
Aiden O’Leary, D13Elite: I have to take consideration for a guy that can ball with a last name like O’Leary. This dude killed it all weekend. Let’s go through the stats: 17 points, 28 points, 31 points and 16 points. 23 points per game on the weekend. The duo of O’Leary and Isaih Ring was just about as good as it got for two prospects on the same program this weekend.
O’Leary is not going to jump out and grab your attention with his athletic ability or size. What he will do is make you notice after he knocks down a couple of shots in your face. He will do that over and over. - Justin Byerly
Keandre Yancey, Pro One Select Tucker: Another Alabama kid that Garrett Tucker let us know about. As usual, GT was right. Yancey is an undersized four, but don’t let that fool you, he can get buckets. His skillset in the post was strong and he was a double-digit scorer throughout the weekend at our Atlanta Jam.
He helped Pro One Select-Tucker secure a 4-0 record during the live period at the Atlanta Jam. The 2026 prospect looks like he will have a lot of coaches watching him in July, and I think he is worthy of a scholarship at the Division II level. - Justin Byerly
KJ Lee , UWIN-Serventz: The 6-foot-1 guard came alive during the second part of the weekend and got back to his play from earlier in the travel season. He is a guard that can score in a variety of ways from all over the floor. When he gets hot from the outside you better guard him! Lee is a skilled ball handler and distributor that can dissect the defense and make them pay. I was impressed to see Lee pick his game back up and earn another Top Performer award this travel season - Justin Byerly
Noah Treadwell, Team 404: Treadwell is an immediate-impact guard who’s ready for the next level. The 6’5” unsigned guard pulled up to Atlanta Jam this weekend with Team 404—and he didn’t disappoint. Treadwell scored 20+ points in three of the four games he played. He’s a big, athletic guard who can create his own offense, beat his defender one-on-one, and generate opportunities for both himself and his teammates. - Mekhi McKinne
