Players to Watch

Brandon Ingram, SF, Undecided

Fans in the Triangle and all over the country will be watching to see how Brandon Ingram performs. So far, the McDonald's All-American Game has been a coming-out party for the Kinston High School player.

The versatile power forward has been showing out all season in North Carolina and has all three Triangle schools on his final list. Outside of NC State, North Carolina and Duke, he also lists Kansas, UCLA and Kentucky as teams he's still interested in, according to 247Sports.

Evan Daniels of Scout.com notes how electric he's been and that he may have grown recently:

Previously at 6'8" on 247Sports, that extra inch might even push him to a hybrid position. With NC State utilizing that position recently with T.J. Warren and Duke having it with Ryan Kelly, Ingram might be a perfect fit for either system.

One of the most talked-about players heading into the big game, look for Ingram to put on a show on Wednesday night. With six schools hoping to sign him, coaches will be salivating over this top prospect when the game begins.

Ben Simmons, PF, LSU

LSU may be losing an explosive forward in Jarell Martin to the 2015 NBA draft, but it has another one waiting in the wings. Ben Simmons is not only a premium recruit, but he was recently named the Gatorade Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

Now he looks like a lock to start in one of the most prestigious showcase games on Wednesday, per Jerry Meyer of 247Sports:

The future Tigers big man hails from Melbourne, Australia and has put up unreal numbers with Montverde Academy. Averaging 28 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game, he'll be an ideal replacement for Martin next season.

Expect Simmons to show off not only his offensive skills, but also the defensive pressure that has made him the No. 1 player in the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Let's just say the future for LSU looks bright with Simmons and Antonio Blakeney heading to Baton Rouge next year.

P.J. Dozier, PG, South Carolina

Frank Martin's prize prospect for the 2015 class just so happens to be one of the most athletic players in the country. P.J. Dozier has been showcasing that volatile ability all week among other top prospects.

Already committed to South Carolina, Dozier is just hoping to strike some fear in the rest of the SEC. Alongside players like Simmons and Blakeney for LSU and Isaiah Briscoe of Kentucky, Dozier is showing them how tough life will be next year.

Dozier even threw down in the dunk contest, per the event's official account:

Not considered a 5-star prospect by the 247Sports Composite Rankings yet, Dozier is hoping to prove he's worth that extra star. Gamecocks fans will want to get a good look at this emerging star before he travels down the road to play in Columbia next year.
