The first live period of July tips off Wednesday afternoon and the epicenter of excitement will once again be at the Peach Jam — which you can watch live right here on FloHoops.

The finals of the Nike EYBL circuit takes up its yearly residence at the Riverview Park Activities Center in North Augusta, South Carolina, from Wednesday to Sunday, where a who's who of Division I head coach will make their annual pilgrimage.

Here are six burning questions heading into the big event:

1. Will Team Takeover go unbeaten en route to the title?

Coach Keith Stevens and Team Takeover will arrive at Peach Jam with an unblemished 16-0 record through the first four EYBL sessions, something no team has ever accomplished before. Now the question is: Can they keep it going and win the Peach Jam without dropping a single game?

"Yes, they really can — absolutely," said Paul VI (VA) coach Glenn Farello, who has three players on the current team and had three players on last year's Takeover team that lost to the Oakland Soldiers in the championship game. "It’s an unselfish team and they go hard so they won’t be overconfident. I also would say they have so many pieces that they can score in so many ways, no one person has to carry the team. They all share in it."

To get out of pool play unbeaten, Takeover will have to navigate Bluff City Legends, Indy Heat, Oakland Soldiers, Nike Team Florida, and Each 1 Teach 1. No easy task, to be sure.

Dropping one of those games might actually lessen the pressure on them to go undefeated, though, and even if they lose during pool play they will likely still be the favorite to win the whole thing on Sunday.

2. Will the USA U17 guys be fatigued?

Eight of the 12 players on the USA U17 team who just won the gold medal in the FIBA U17 World Championship in Argentina play on the Nike circuit.

After beating France in the gold-medal game on Sunday, many of those players will fly direct to Peach Jam and begin playing with their AAU teams. Players like Vernon Carey Jr., Scottie Barnes, Isaiah Stewart, and Jeremy Roach (part of Takeover's unbeaten team) will have to turn it around quickly after winning the gold. 

So how fatigued will they be?

"They are 17 years old," Farello said. "They are fine."

The guys figured to be hyped for Peach Jam, so that should help overcome any jet lag.

“I know I’m going to bring everything I have to the table each game,” Stewart previously told FloHoops. “And you know Peach Jam always gives everyone a different type of energy so that will be real interesting. I’m looking forward to that, too.”

3. Which future NBA stars will be showcased at Peach Jam?

Last month's NBA Draft featured three lottery picks who competed in the 2016 Peach Jam final: No. 5 overall pick Trae Young, No. 6 Mohamed Bamba, and No. 14 Michael Porter Jr.

In 2012, the Peach Jam featured eventual No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins, No. 4 pick Aaron Gordon, and No. 7 pick Julius Randle. Jabari Parker, the No. 2 selection, was injured that year and did not play.

So, which future NBA stars might fans and coaches see this year?

According to one mock draft for 2020, the top three projected picks for that year's draft and four of the top five will be at Peach Jam: No. 1 James Wiseman of Bluff City Legends, No. 2 Vernon Carey Jr. of Nike Team Florida, No. 3 Cole Anthony of PSA Cardinals, and No. 5 Jalen Lecque of the NY Rens. The mock also features No. 17 Cassius Stanley of Team WhyNot, No. 22 Tyrese Maxey of Houston Hoops and No. 26 D.J. Jeffries of Bluff City Legends. Both Maxey and Jeffries are committed to Kentucky for 2019, while Wiseman is the subject of a heavy recruiting battle between Kentucky and Memphis.

In the class of 2020, both Scottie Barnes of Nike Team Florida and Jaden McDaniels of Seattle Rotary are projected top-five picks in one mock.

4. What changes can fans and coaches expect at this year's Peach Jam?

According to the Augusta Chronicle, "Riverview Park has undergone extensive work since February 2017 to increase the number of courts from four to six, as well as improve the look of the front entrance and concourse for more room to move around. The facility will give spectators a better chance to see their game of choice."

The 15U bracket will now be showcased and 52 total teams from the three brackets will be featured.

"With the popularity of the Peach Jam, we tell people it’s not the only reason, but there’s no doubt the popularity of the event forced our hand,” said Rick Meyer, director of North Augusta’s Parks, Recreation, and Tourism department. “We had planned it, but we said we’ve got to get busy. The place was getting crowded.”

5. Will this be the last Peach Jam with coaches?

Will this be the last time college coaches are allowed to attend sneaker-sponsored events in July? Will Peach Jam be shifted to August beginning in 2019 when college coaches can't be on the road?

We won't know the answers to these questions at least until August when UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero, the chairman of the Division I men’s basketball oversight committee, drafts a proposal to present to the Rice Commission.

"We'll just have to make it work," Georgia Tech head coach Josh Pastner told FloHoops.com in this story. "Whatever the rules are, you've got to adapt.
