Stars to Watch

Andrew Wiggins, East

Wiggins is the only player that hasn’t made his college decision yet that will be appearing in this game. He’s also arguably the best player, meaning fans of North Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky and Florida State (the four programs this Canadian native is considering) will start wishing for a letter of intent each time he makes a highlight play.

There will certainly be plenty of those, as Wiggins is a gifted scorer, an incredible athlete and dynamic overall basketball talent.

The Huntington Prep (W.Va.) superstar stands at 6’8”, 195 pounds and can simply get buckets at will. He’s able to put the ball on the floor and knife his way to the cup or pull up from long range and sink a trey.

Perhaps the only knocks on Wiggins’ game is his inconsistent passing abilities out of the many double teams he sees, which is something that will improve with time.

Jabari Parker, West

Parker is heading to Duke next season, but first the Simeon (Chicago, Ill.) star is going to showcase his stuff in Brooklyn.

This swingman is one of the most versatile players in his class and is capable of doing everything well out on the court. At 6’8”, 220 pounds, he can play a number of positions and has the talents to impact a game in a variety of ways.

His basketball IQ is extremely high and he’s a willing passer, sometimes to a fault—considering his elite scoring prowess.

If Parker improves his handle and quickness during his time with the Blue Devils, he is going to become one of the best players in the nation in short order.

Aaron Gordon, West

Gordon earned MVP honors in the 2013 McDonald’s All-American Game, leading the West to a 110-99 victory by scoring 24 points and grabbing eight rebounds against the best competition he’s ever faced.

This future Arizona Wildcat can be absolutely dominant for stretches, especially against undersized or slower opponents in the paint.

While he stands only 6’8”, 210 pounds, the Archbishop Mitty (San Jose, Calif.) product is a freakish athlete with a relentless motor. He works hard for every rebound and is constantly looking to tip in—or strongly slam home—an errant shot.

When he’s not skying for boards or throwing down jams, Gordon is often found rushing down the court with the rock in his hands, showing off his point forward skills.

Perhaps he’s too willing to run the offense, as there are times when Gordon will pull down a rebound and not even look for the point guard. Once he’s able to figure out when to outlet, when to dump it off to the PG and when to take off by himself, the versatile forward is going to become a true superstar.
