Duke commit Cooper Flagg and No. 1 junior A.J. Dybantsa lead top performers from Hoophall Classic

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Many of the top high school basketball players in the country — and perhaps future NBA talent — were featured in the Hoophall Classic at Springfield College over the weekend.

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, Jayson Tatum and Zion Williamson all played in the five-day showcase during their high school careers, and this year there was no shortage of talent. The No. 1 players in the 2024 (Cooper Flagg), 2025 (A.J. Dybantsa) and 2026 (Tyran Stokes) high school classes, plus several other high-major prospects, were on display as over 80 NBA scouts and executives were in attendance at the 2,000-seat Blake Arena.
