Jordan Brand Classic 2012: Players Poised for 4-Year College Careers
The 2012 Jordan Brand Classic is home to all the best high-school players in the country.
You know the likes of Shabazz Muhammad, Nerlens Noel and Kyle Anderson, but every player on the court is a potential superstar.
If they develop and play to their potential, a number of these players will leave early for the pros—but not all of them.

Report: Biggest Spenders in Men's CBB 🤑
Tony Parker, F, Undecided
The 6'8, 255-pounder is still deciding where he'll continue his basketball career, but the decision seems so important that whichever school he chooses he'll be in it for the long haul.
He has no shortage of suitors and could join Shabazz at UCLA, Noel at Kentucky or head off to Kansas or Duke or even stay in-state at Georgia.
Parker's a good athlete, but he comes with limited upside and plays below the rim. That doesn't bode well for an early jump to the NBA.
His best option is to stay in school and develop a full arsenal of skills.
Rasheed Sulaimon, G, Committed to Duke
Duke isn't immune to the one-and-doners, but Coach K also knows how to get the most out of his kids.
The 6'4", 180-pound guard isn't ready to step up to the NBA just yet and won't be after one year. If he develops quick he could easily jump to the next level in the following years, but he needs to get tougher before he does so.
He has good height, but his frame must fill out if he is to survive in the NBA as a two-guard. The only way to do that is to keep hitting the gym in college.
Kris Dunn, G, Committed to Providence
Like Sulaimon, Dunn's frame is there but he still has a lot of filling out to do. The Connecticut native is 6'3", 175 pounds will have trouble bodying up with bigger players at the next level.
Dunn is a quality talent, but he still has to develop a consistent three-ball and he's not nearly as far along as a decision-maker as one would like to see in a point guard.
He's a great athlete, but he has to use more than just that to succeed at the next level. A four-year run in the Big East won't hurt him one bit.
