Like most high school basketball players, Tre Johnson had heard all of the stories about how competitive the Nike EYBL would be; how it’s hands down the most grueling of the three major summer shoe circuits and how many NBA All Stars it’s made over the years.
Johnson was just coming off a stellar freshman season in his varsity debut, pumping in 15 points, five rebounds and four assists a game for Lake Highlands (Dallas), and was eager to build on the momentum with Team Griffin (Okla.).
“I just knew that all of the top players were gonna be playing and that was the most exciting part for me,” Johnson said.
