"Pangos Premier 80: 20 Standout Performers"
2026 6’3 Elias Obenyah (Salesian Prep/Richmond CA)
Obenyah is a lengthy and skilled wing/guard that keeps relentless pressure on the defense and has the moves to score in creative ways around size in the paint. Obenyah is coming off a great month of June with his high school team, and that level of play carried over to the Premier 80. Obenyah had 13 points in his opening showcase game before bursting out with one of the top-scoring outputs of 22 points in his 2nd game. Obenyah has solid handles, the moves to get by his defender, does not waste dribbles and gets downhill to attack the defense, and has a variety of moves to score in the paint around and over size, as he uses his footwork and spin moves to shake opponents around the cup. Obenyah uses the long crossover to create separation on the perimeter, is effective with the perimeter shot off the dribble, and has great court vision to find open teammates in tight windows moving off the ball. He does a solid job on the glass, plays with a great motor, and is rising up the ranks of players in the 2026 class and should be a name to know on the national stage.
and
2025 6’2 Jaylen Valdez (Capital Christian/Sacramento CA)
Valdez is a combo guard that scores in volume from 3-levels and has the moves to create his own offense, as well as make plays for others. Valdez keeps the ball on a string, has shifty moves to create separation from his opponent, makes great use of the crossover to get his defender off balance, gets downhill once by his man, and is a creative scorer around the basket. Valdez has the moves to create his own perimeter shots off the dribble, is a 3-level scoring threat, and is fastly rising as one of the better 2025 Norcal prospects. Valdez is a solid on-ball defender, gets into his opponent’s dribbling space, and generates turnovers, which lead to instant offense in the open court.
