Of the 24 players mingling in the NBA draft's exclusive green room at the Barclays Center on Wednesday night, four had no problem making friends.
Cooper Flagg, Derik Queen, Asa Newell and Liam McNeeley were all smiles, greeting each other with customized handshakes no doubt originating from their high school playing days at Montverde (Florida) Academy.
The foursome made history in 2024, capping off a dream season with a Chipotle Nationals title.
Those Montverde Eagles finished 33-0, steamrolling teams by an average of 34 points a game, firmly entrenching their standing in the "greatest high school basketball team ever assembled" conversation.
