McDonald's All American Game Rosters: Breaking Down the East and West Lineups

The McDonald's All-American roster has been announced leading up to March 8 in Chicago, and, as always, there are plenty of exciting prospects that should have the nation buzzing by the end of the game.

Who will be the next stars in college?

Here's a look at my top five recruits, complete with the full East and West rosters.

EAST:

Kyle Anderson (UCLA)

Kyle Anderson, first off, is a very versatile player. He could become a small forward or undersized power forward at 6'9", 215 pounds. In terms of an NBA comparison, you're looking at a Lamar-Odom type of player. Anderson has excellent ball-handling skills for his size and he can lead the break with his passing ability and vision.

Anderson doesn't have the quickest release on his jumper, which he needs to work on. And while he can rack up steals, blocks and rebounds due to his length and anticipation, he needs to work on his footwork to be a solid one-on-one defender.

Nonetheless, Anderson is one of the most hyped players in high school right now.

DaJuan Coleman (Syracuse)

DaJuan Coleman may not be the most explosive player in high school, but he makes up for it with his sheer power and his post moves. This is the type of guy who can out-muscle you and knock you on your back, and at the same time hit you with a jump-hook or fade-away jumper. With his footwork, size and wingspan, he projects as a force down the line with his back to the basket.

Coleman is also an outstanding rebounder. He plays with the aggressiveness you want in a post player and if he continues to add to his frame he could be a handful at the next level.

On defense, Coleman appears to possess the ability to slide around the floor nicely and clearly has the dedication, constantly talking with his teammates and being active on the other side of the ball.

He doesn't have a lot of range shooting the ball offensively, but that's not who he is.

WEST

Isaiah Austin (Baylor)

I love Isaiah Austin's game. He's the most talented player in the class in my opinion. His size is exceptional—at 7'0", 210 pounds—and he's an inside-outside threat, making him virtually unguardable at times.

Austin has the range to be a handful for bigger players and the strength and ball-handling skills to burst past smaller players to the basket. He's basically a power forward who can handle like a small forward. Did I mention he has the ability to be an Anthony Davis-like blocker in college? In high school, he's an absolute beast as a shot-blocker.

He needs to work on his post moves and consistency, but if he stays focused, the sky's the limit for Austin.

Anthony Bennett (Uncommitted)

Anthony Bennett's outstanding physique, combined with his impressive finesse, could make him a nightmare in college. He's not only explosive around the rim, he can step back and hit the three-pointer. He's a terrific rebounder who imposes his will on opponents in the post and has the hands and instincts to wrap it altogether.

Like most high-school big men, Bennett needs work on his post moves and needs to know when to pass out of the block, but that kind of stuff can be taught in college.

He grades just below Austin for me, but not by much.

Brandon Ashley (Arizona)

Brandon Ashley is a very interesting recruit to analyze. His frame, length, quickness, spring and spin moves dazzle, but his footwork is a concern and he plays in spurts, which is certainly a red flag.

With his physical abilities, Ashley—at 6'8", 215 pounds—has the potential to be a solid small forward or power forward in college. And with his long arms he can be a pain on offense and defense.

But Ashley does need to work on his footwork and overall dedication to be a star in college ball.
