Chris RolingMar 31, 2015

Wednesday night, the future arrives as Ben Simmons and the rest of the impressive 2015 class take the McDonald's All American Game by storm.

This year feels like many before it, with the 38th iteration of the event once again featuring a few superstar names to watch at the collegiate level and beyond, complemented by a deep class at all positions capable of changing the college landscape as early as next year.

Once again at the United Center in Chicago, folks can't be blamed for having flashbacks to when LeBron James and other sport-changing names took part in the same spectacle.

Prospects to Watch

Malik Newman, SG

The No. 4 player in ESPN's 2015 rankings, Malik Newman is capable of stuffing stat sheets in video game-esque fashion thanks to his size, athleticism and sheer talent.

As Eric Bossi of Rivals.com points out, Newman is already encountering few issues when it comes to dominating the competition in Chicago, never mind the fact the event features the best of the best:

On the court, Newman is an obvious talent standing at 6'3" and 175 pounds. He's best playing off the ball and finding holes in the offense for himself, displaying good range and an ability to slash to the basket for big finishes, if not hit the charity stripe as a bonus.

Off the court, Newman is one of the most important names in the Windy City, as he's one of the nation's top undecided recruits. Highlighting a laundry list of names to offer him a scholarship are Kentucky, Kansas, LSU and Ohio State.

Look for Newman to put on a show for his suitors and further his name into "household" territory as he continues to grow and take the next step in his budding career.

Ivan Rabb, PF

Arizona and California fans wait with bated breath and might be blue in the face at this point thanks to Ivan Rabb.

The star power forward is an even bigger showcase off the court than Newman at this point, as he revealed a decision is on the way quite soon, per Evan Daniels of Scout.com:

After winning a state title, Rabb refused to let the focus be about his future, as Stephanie Hammon of the Bay Area News Group captures:

So what's the big deal?

Rabb is a physical specimen at 6'11" and 210 pounds with plenty of room to grow and world-class athleticism in droves. 

Already a strong defender and a budding offensive threat, the nation is wild for him because of the obvious upside capable of producing an elite player on both ends of the court sooner rather than later.

Wednesday is just another chance for Rabb to show how far he's come, if not turn the landscape of college basketball on its head, too.

Diamond Stone, C

Diamond Stone, owner of the best name in the class, already threw the collegiate realm for a loop when he committed to Maryland a few days ago, shunning Oklahoma State, Wisconsin and UConn.

Stone was one of the hottest commodities in the nation because few players at his age are so skilled as a post player. The Dominican High School product combines these well-established traits with a college-ready 6'10", 250-pound frame.

As ESPN's Jeff Borzello points out, Stone is a defensive nightmare once he establishes position on the low block:

Stone won't have any issues standing out among his peers Wednesday in what is sure to be a strong performance hinting toward what is to come. 

Maryland fans, as well as Big Ten supporters as a whole, won't want to miss out.
