Pro Insight Player Spotlight 🔦 👤 Malcolm Berglund Price (2008 🇸🇪) 🏀 Sweden 📌 #AST2026 💡Consistently drew heavy attention from opposing defenses and for good reason: the younger brother of Stanford-bound Julius lit the nets on fire, as he shot 51.4% FG, 48% 3FG (on 5 attempts/game) and 78% FT. Shifty is an adjective that fits well for one of the better scoring guards in the 2027 class 📸 @DBB_Basketball

Pro Insight Player Spotlight 🔦 👤 Anton Kemmer (2008 🇩🇪) 🏀 Germany 📌 #AST2026 💡His instincts and IQ consistently stand out, as he’s typically in the right place at the right time. Does an effective job at using his adept timing and above-average athleticism to put a lid on the rim for put-back dunks, find gaps as a cutter + slasher, and as a disruptor on D 📸 @DBB_Basketball

Pro Insight Player Spotlight 🔦 👤 Darius Karutasu (2009 🇹🇷) 🏀 Turkey 📌 #AST2026 💡The 6'7" guard isn't just the leader of a very young 🇹🇷 team — he's also the main offensive engine. It's not uncommon for him to find various ways to finish at the basket after beating his matchup OTD. In addition to his production on O, he also brings defensive value. He anticipates passes, keeps his hands active, and alters/blocks shots instinctively 📸 @DBB_Basketball

Get to know the 2026 Nike Hoop Summit participants through the Pro Insight Q&A series. We’ve compiled over 7️⃣0️⃣ of our video, audio and written interviews, below 🔗⤵️

Pro Insight Player Spotlight 🔦 👤 Miles Sadler 🏀 @BellaVistaHoops 🎓 2026 📌 #ChipotleNationals 💡The shifty Canadian PG led his team to a national championship over Montverde today, totaling 23p-9a-4r-2s. He excelled getting into the paint, using his elite speed + handle to finish and create for teammates. His creativity makes him shine, as he can split PnR’s, finish with floaters, or throw lobs to his bigs. Dominant performance, putting a bow on his decorated HS career

Pro Insight Player Spotlight 🔦 👤 Teo Milicic (2008 🇩🇪🇵🇱) 🏀 @ratiopharmulm 📌 #ProB 💡 Teo continues to trend in the right direction, and led his team to a tough road win in Würzburg over the weekend. His 25p-3r-6a stat line in just 23 MP impressed, but what truly separates him is his ability to act as an extension of the coach on the floor, control the tempo and dictate his team’s offense. 📸 @ratiopharmulm

Pro Insight Player Spotlight 🔦 👤 Nathan Soliman (2009 🇫🇷) 🏀 PFBB INSEP 📌 #NextGenEuroLeague 💡 Yet another statement performance throughout the event. Continues to impress with his unselfishness, being able to fill the stat sheet in every game, bringing massive impact on both ends of the floor in countless ways. Fully capable of taking matters into his own hands, too. Departs Belgrade with well-deserved MVP hardware and a spot in the adidas NextGen EuroLeague Finals in Athens. 📸 @EuroLeague

Pro Insight Player Spotlight 🔦 👤 Jovan Bikic (2008 🇷🇸) 🏀 @kkcrvenazvezda 📌 #NextGenEuroLeague 💡 Strong four-game showing here in Belgrade. Was a spark behind Red Star’s 🥈 push. Impacts the game in a variety of ways, contributing as a versatile shot creator while also bringing substantial value through his diverse passing repertoire and ability to successfully involve his teammates. 📸 @EuroLeague
