The Pangos All-American Camp in Long Beach, Calif., featured many big-time prospects, but a pair of teammates from Dallas were rather impressive. ESPNU Super 60 small forward LeBryan Nash and small forward Keaton Miles (Dallas/Lincoln), who have played together since middle school, proved once again that their Dallas Mustangs are a force to contend with.Nash is an explosive athlete that consistently beat defenders with his dribble drive and he plays the game knowing he has to perform every night "I must play like a top-10 player every time I step on the court," said Nash. "I know I have a target on my back so I need to play hard every time I step on the court."His greatest strength may lie in his versatility because he plays the game inside out. He overpowers smaller players and he is too quick, skilled and versatile for the bigger defenders. As he gets into scoring position, he knows how to use his body and finish through contact with his powerful body. Old-fashioned 3-point plays come often to Nash. The range on his jump shot is out to the 3-point line and he has a sweet mid-range game as well. He is also productive thanks to his post up game. In the post, he demonstrates good instincts because he can spin baseline or middle and dunk as well as make solid post move. However, there is one knock on Nash."My emotions during the game must be controlled," said Nash. "Whenever a referee makes a call or something goes wrong, I must stay in control. To be a leader I must get better at that."Miles plays with a high motor and works hard on both ends of the court. He beats his opponents with his ability to drive the ball and shoot mid-range jumpers. He also crashes the offensive glass for second chance points and knows he has to play hard every time he steps out on the floor to be the best he can be. "Sometimes I don't feel like going 100 percent and I must learn to overcome that and be an everyday player," said Miles, who currently likes West Virginia, Cal, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Houston and SMU. Miles is definitely on the right track and brings a lot to the table at the next level.
