HOUSTON — The McDonald's All-American Game is one of the highest honors in high school basketball. Each year, 24 boys basketball players are selected from around the country to compete in three days of practice, a scrimmage and an all-star game in front of several NBA scouts.
"This is a great benchmark on where players are and a chance to see the growth in their game," one NBA scout told Yahoo Sports.
There are several players representing blue-blood programs, but it was a couple players outside of the top-ranked prospects who impressed scouts the most.
