The Nike EYBL Peach Jam tournament has been taking place in North Augusta, S.C. this week, with a handful of Mizzou targets competing. Here’s how a few of the players have performed during the event.

17U

Indy Heat missed the cut to move on to the final bracket, going 2-3 to finish fourth in its pool. Haralson was second on his team averaging 16.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game during the week. His best game of the event came in the opener in which he racked up 29 points on 11-23 shooting from the field on July 13 against the Oakland Soldiers. Haralson will now turn his attention to his senior season at La Lumiere School.

Team Thad wasn’t able to get out of its pool, going 2-3 on the week to finish in fourth place. Johnson took on the bulk of on-ball duties, which led to some inefficient results as he shot just 37.9% from the field and 25.5% from beyond the arc. Johnson still put up a team-high 19.8 points, which also ranked ninth overall at the event, to go along with 2.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists.

The St. Louis native still had an impressive week on the glass, grabbing 4.8 rebounds per game, and flashed good playmaking skills for his position, handing out 1.2 assists per outing.
