Playing in the Louisville Legends Classic over the weekend, Walker had 7 dunks in the first game. His jumper seems to be improving.

How do you think Jon Diebler of Upper Sandusky compares to Bill Walker and O.J. Mayo?
Personally, I think Mayo is the best "basketball player" of the three, with Diebler second, and Walker third. Athletically, Walker is out of this world!
Also, do you think Diebler will honor his commitment to Valpo, or go somewhere bigger?

No offense to Jon Diebler...he is a very good player who needs some development to even compare to Mayo and Walker.
I would have to agree......Walker gets by a lot on his ability but he needs to become more of a basketball player overall in my opinion.
Who really knows......but if he continues his development and becomes a big time prospect.....it will be hard for him to not look at bigger schools in my opinion.

By the way, it's great to see another Jack Bauer and 24 fan.
Is that a great show, or what?
I agree that Diebler isn't up to Mayo's level, but his basketball skills are certainly more refined that Walker's.
I would have loved an Upper Sandusky/North College Hill match-up this year.

The International Sports Festival tipped in San Diego Tuesday afternoon. Courtesy of USA Basketball Media Relations, here are some recaps and box scores from the first day of action.
</TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=3>
<HR>Box Score
With the help of 21 points from Bill Walker and 20 from Kyle Singler, the USA White Team (1-0) used a strong defense, hot shooting and an 18-0 second-quarter run to breeze past China (0-1) 112-59 in a game in which the Americans forced 25 turnovers and shot 58.8 percent from the floor.
Already ahead 30-16 at the end of the first quarter, thanks in part to Walker's 11 points, USA White kept up its stingy defense and lights-out shooting in the second quarter and reeled off 18 consecutive points. The 18-0 run was capped by a Singler break-away dunk that pushed the lead to 52-23.
The U.S. White team entered the locker room at the half ahead 57-27 behind 58.5 percent shooting from the floor, while forcing 15 China turnovers. The USA defense, behind Greg Oden's four blocked shots in the first half, limited China to 33.3 percent shooting.
"It starts with defense," said USA White head coach Pat Fitterer. "This group is so good defensively. We put so much pressure on China we got them on their heels. Our goal was to come out and play really well and win each quarter."
USA White came out at the start of the second half playing as well as it had in the first. Walker sparked a 9-0 run, scoring six points on three dunks to put the Americans ahead 70-31 with 6:01 remaining in the third. The USA White Team improved its field goal shooting to 59.0 percent in the second half while out-rebounding the taller Chinese squad 47-27 for the game.
"The team came out with a lot of intensity from the start," said Oden. "My mind set coming into the game was just to play hard. Blocked shots come along, rebounds come along when you play hard."
Walker scored his team high 21 points on 10-of-12 shooting and grabbed six rebounds to led six USA White players in double figures. Singler posted 20 points, Oden had 16 and a team high six blocks, Darrell Arthur added 11, while Michael Conley and Javaris Crittenton each scored 10. Paul Harris and Bryce Webster grabbed eight rebounds apiece.
Chen Jiangua, a 6-2 guard, led China with 14 points. Zhou Peng, a 6-10 center, De Lehei, a 6-11 forward and Han Shuo, a 6-6 guard, scored 12, 10 and 10 points, respectively.
<HR>Box Score
In first day action of the five-day tournament, the USA Red Team (1-0) behind 15 points from Gerald Henderson rolled past Canada (0-1) 82-64.
The USA Red Team, relied on relentless end line to end line defensive pressure that forced 35 turnovers in the victory. Additionally, the United States never trailed in the contest and led for all but 1:37.
Owning a 25-16 lead after the first quarter, the USA Red squad began the second quarter with a 9-1 run and held Canada without a field goal for the first 4:23 of the period. The USA Red's defense was just too much for the Canadian team as the U.S. held Canada to only 11 points in the quarter to take a 17 point lead, 44-27, at the break.
Canada kept the U.S. Red team from blowing the game wide open. The Canadians cut the U.S. lead to 14 points halfway through the third quarter, however, the USA refused to relinquish momentum or the lead, and extended its advantage to 24 points after posting a 7-0 run just before the end of the third quarter.
"They are a very well-coached team," said U.S. Blue's Henderson, a 6-5 guard from Blue Bell, Penn. "They played hard. We got on them defensively which I thought rattled them early, so we were able to get off to a quick lead."
Henderson and Canada's Scott Brittain led all scorers in the game with 15 points. Two other players, forward Bryan Davis and Brook Lopez also scored in double figures for the U.S with 12 and 11 points, respectively. Lopez was also tied for the team lead with Damion James with eight rebounds each. "Our effort was good," said Red head coach Otis Hughley. "Gerald did a good job tonight. He's just steady. That's 15 (points) I didn't know he had. He's just steady and solid. He's a guy you never worry about." Forward Olu Ahaolou and guard Junior Cadougan also scored in double figures tonight for Canada, totaling 12 and 11 points, respectively, while center Robert Sacre pulled down nine boards to lead all rebounders.

SAN DIEGO -- Bill Walker is heading into his junior year of high school, but the 6-6 small forward is already known in national basketball circles for his dunking.
Just in case some might not know, he has one of his nicknames, "Sky Walker," tattooed on his right arm. He has other monikers as well, including the most recent, "Dirty McNasty," for the ferocity of his high-flying slams.
"When people watch basketball, they want to see stuff like that, the dunks. That's what catches everybody's eye," said Walker, who had eight dunks in his opening game of the USA Basketball Youth Development Festival. "But I can do other things on the court."
He is a lock-down defender who utilizes all of his 220 pounds, handles the ball well for a small forward and has a consistent jumper. But it's the explosion toward the rim from all manner of pogo-stick angles on the court that gets him noticed while playing on the same Cincinnati high school team as O.J. Mayo, the top-ranked player in the Class of 2007.
Walker lived in Huntington, W.Va., until the middle of eighth grade, when he moved to Cincinnati. He said he played football until age 10, when Mayo's grandfather, Dwaine Barnes, began teaching him basketball. Barnes is now the coach of the AAU team that includes both Mayo and Walker.
"O.J.'s grandfather started working with us, rounding out our games," Walker said. "I guess from my youth he saw something."

The USA White team captured gold at the 2005 International Sports Invitational, defeating USA Blue by a 107-85 final, despite a game-high 31 points by Blue's O.J. Mayo (North College Hill H.S. / North College Hill, Ohio).
USA White was able to pull away in the second half, outscoring Blue 31-19 in the fourth quarter as foul trouble kept Blue big men, Robin Lopez (San Joaquin Memorial H.S./Fresno, Calif.), Mike Washington (Heritage Christian Academy (Texas)/McGehee, Ark.) and Dwayne Collins (Miami Senior H.S./Miami, Fla.) on the bench for much of the second half.
The two teams battled back and forth in the first quarter and the game was tied at 23 with 23 seconds left, after Mayo scored 15 out of 16 straight points for the USA Blue team. Two free throws by Bryce Webster (St. Thomas Academy/St. Paul, Minn.) gave the White squad a slim 25-23 lead after one.
White pulled ahead by six points, 40-34 with 5:33 left in the half ,before Blue began a 7-2 run capped by a Mayo jumper at the 4:03 mark to cut the lead to one, 42-41. But, a cut above his right eye with just over three minutes remaining in the second quarter forced Mayo to head into the locker room early. USA White capitalized, outscoring Blue 15-5 over the remainder of the quarter to take a 58-46 lead at halftime.
Coming out of the locker room, the Blue squad inched closer, 76-66, after the third quarter. However, the fourth quarter belonged to USA White. With an 11-point cushion, 82-71 with 7:44 left in the game, White began a 15-3 run, that included five dunks by four different players and gave them a 97-74 lead, sealing the victory with 4:09 left in the game. From that point the teams exchanged buckets, and USA White walked away with a 107-85 victory.
"It was really exciting," said White head coach Pat Fitterer (Eisenhower H.S./Seattle, Wash.). I'm most excited because we had 29 assists tonight, that was awesome. This is the most unselfish crew I've ever had. Greg Oden thanked everybody for letting him be a part of the team and everybody else was just awesome, they had a great team concept. I told them now I want them to go out and win a couple more gold medals for USA."
Three players scored in double figures for USA White, including 28 points (11-22 FGs) from Paul Harris (Niagara Falls H.S./Niagara Falls, N.Y.). Center Greg Oden (Lawrence North H.S. . Indianapolis, Ind.) and forward Bill Walker (North College Hill H.S. / Cincinnati, Ohio), aided by the foul trouble of the Blue squad, chipped in 21 and 18, respectively, and Oden pulled down 11 rebounds. Five players also dished out at least five assists. Oden also broke the USA Youth Development Festival record for field-goal percentage, shooting 74.4 percent (32-43 FGs) in the tournament.
"This feels good," said Harris. "I told my dad, ‘If I win, I'm giving you the gold medal,' so I'm going to give it to my dad."
Mayo and Wayne Ellington (The Episcopal Academy/Wynnewood, Penn.) shouldered the load for USA Blue. In addition to 31 points (11-24 FGs), Mayo also tallied six rebounds and seven steals. Ellington finished the game with 27 points (11-23 FGs) and a game-high 12 rebounds.
"I know O.J. (Mayo) is a good player so I tried to play full court on him and set a lot of picks." added Harris. " I tried to contain him but he's very good."
Mayo finished as the high-scorer for the tournament, averaging 27.5 points per game.
USA Blue Team member Thaddeus Young (Mitchell H.S. / Memphis, Tenn.) suffered a second degree (moderate) ankle sprain in his squad's 118-57 victory over New Zealand on June 8. Listed as day-to-day, Young was evaluated and treated by the U.S. Olympic Committee medical staff..

O.J. Mayo led a 3-point barrage for Team USA Blue Saturday night. Ultimately, though, Greg Oden, Paul Harris and Bill Walker were just too powerful inside the lane and Team USA White came away with gold medals during the USA Basketball Youth Development Festival/International Sports Invitational at San Diego State.
</TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=3>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SAN DIEGO – When can a basketball team cruise to a 22-point victory despite missing 16 of 20 shots from behind the 3-point arc and committing 19 turnovers?[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When it’s got an overwhelming offensive attack inside the lane (or, as Hubie Brown is found of calling it, “the painted area”).[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]That’s what Team USA White had throughout the week at San Diego State during the seven-team, USA Basketball Youth Development Festival/International Sports Invitational.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Five opponents were victimized by it, the last of those being Team USA Blue Saturday night in the gold medal game. Despite having, arguably, the two best offensive backcourt players anywhere on the school level for next season, the Blue squad was overwhelmed, 107-85, by the White, just like China (112-59), Canada (105-69), Team USA Red (103-83) and Russia (105-86) were the previous four evenings.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Team USA White center Greg Oden came into the event hyped as the most overpowering post player on the high school level. He left San Diego with his gold medal and his No. 1 big man credentials ever the more etched in stone.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Indianapolis resident, who was perfect from the field in the championship game while leading the Spiece Indy Heat to the Reebok/Big Time Tournament title in Las Vegas last July, was just as near-flawless in his Saturday night performance in Cox Arena.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He converted all nine of his field-goal attempts and all three of his free throws for 21 points to go with 11 rebounds. He was credited with just one assist and two blocked shots but those totals should have been more like three or four assists and four or five blocks.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Paul Harris and Bill Walker, who have the frames and physiques of NFL outside linebackers, scored 28 and 18 points, respectively, with Harris also doing a more then commendable 1-on-1 defensive job on Team USA Blue standout O.J. Mayo.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]How offensively skilled is the 6-4 Mayo? Harris’ defense on Mayo couldn’t have been any better yet the junior-to-be from Cincinnati scored 31 points despite missing the final five minutes of the second quarter while receiving five stitches over his right eye, courtesy an inadvertent elbow from Harris (who was dribbling against Mayo’s defense at the time).[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Wayne Ellington (27 points and 12 rebounds) also had a marvelous game for Team USA Blue. Maybe something – more accurately, someone – will change my opinion in July but the four games he played in San Diego convinced me that he’s clearly the best two-guard in the national Class of 2006.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]But while Mayo, Ellington and Tory Jackson (a very good point guard prospect from Saginaw, MI, Buena Vista) were combining to cast off 31 3-pointers (hitting 10), Team USA White was pounding the ball into the post to Oden.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And Harris and Walker were driving at will or overwhelming defenders inside the lane.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Game . . . set . . . match.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ALL-TOURNAMENT<O:p></O:p>[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif](As selected by Frank Burlison)<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]MOST OUTSTANDING PLAYER:<O:p></O:p>[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Greg Oden (Team USA White/Indianapolis Lawrence North; 17.0 points and 7.6 rebounds per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: There are a lot of very, very good players in the national Class of 2006. But, literally and figuratively, Oden towers everyone. His offensive skills still need a lot of polishing but he’s made huge strides in that area over the past year.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]O.J. Mayo (Team USA Blue/Cincinnati North College Hill; 27.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 6.0 steals per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: He’s the most offensively skilled guard on the school scene today. And his defense isn’t bad, either. He scored 31 points Saturday night, despite the cut over his right eye. But he could have done a better job of getting his teammates (other than Ellington) involved in the offensive flow, too, in the title game.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Paul Harris (Team USA White/Niagara Falls; 17.8 points, 9.0 points and 3.6 assists per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: His jump shot (to a great degree) and his decision making with the ball are going to need a lot of refinement if he’s going to be a full-time guard on the college level. But he’s 6-3 and about 225 pounds, and he gets maximum results out of all of that bulk and strength.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Wayne Ellington (Team USA Blue/Merion, PA, The Episcopal Academy; 20.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.3 steals per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: Offensively, he’s nearly as complete as Mayo. And there wasn’t a player with more fluidity, be it his velvety jump shot or slick/keep the defender on his heels/drives. He is North Carolina’s next All-America caliber guard.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Daequan Cook (Team USA Red/Dayton, OH, Dunbar; 20.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: He doesn’t have nearly the offensively versatility or fluidity of Ellington but he’s a more explosive (at least, vertically) athlete. With some ball-handling polish, he’ll be an All-Big Ten performer at Ohio State before too deeply into his college career.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: No matter how well I’m able to describe the way this guy jumps, you’ll still be stunned the first time you see him elevate with both elbows above the iron to darn near shatter a backboard. He has off-the charts strength and improving ball-handling, passing and jump-shooting skills.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Kyle Singler (Team USA White/Medford, OR, South; 14.0 points and 3.4 rebounds per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: This 6-8 wing has more long-term potential than any player in the event besides Oden and Mayo. Along with fellow junior-to-be and Portland Elite Legends teammate Kevin Love (Lake Oswego), he’ll go down as one of the all-time best ever out of Oregon.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Gerald Henderson (Team USA Red/Merion, PA, The Episcopal Academy; 16.0 points and 5.0 rebounds per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: The only thing he lacks right now to be among Mike Krzyzewski’s better players very early into his Duke career is the kind of legitimate jump shot that can keep defenders honest. “Unorthodox” describes his jumper right now.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Maxim Sheleketo (Russia/Petrovsk; 15.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.5 steals per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: He’s listed at 6-10 on his team’s roster but looks a lot closer to 6-8. Never mind, though: He could be in the NBA one day.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: Listed at 6-2 (probably very generously), his point guard skills surpassed any of his event counterparts other than Mayo. If he wasn’t the quickest player with the ball in his hands in the event, he was certainly the fastest. According to the team roster, he turned 16 on March 12. Relocate him to the United States and he’d be a McDonald’s All-America in a couple of years.[/font]

O.J. Mayo led a 3-point barrage for Team USA Blue Saturday night. Ultimately, though, Greg Oden, Paul Harris and Bill Walker were just too powerful inside the lane and Team USA White came away with gold medals during the USA Basketball Youth Development Festival/International Sports Invitational at San Diego State.
</TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=3>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SAN DIEGO – When can a basketball team cruise to a 22-point victory despite missing 16 of 20 shots from behind the 3-point arc and committing 19 turnovers?[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When it’s got an overwhelming offensive attack inside the lane (or, as Hubie Brown is found of calling it, “the painted area”).[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]That’s what Team USA White had throughout the week at San Diego State during the seven-team, USA Basketball Youth Development Festival/International Sports Invitational.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Five opponents were victimized by it, the last of those being Team USA Blue Saturday night in the gold medal game. Despite having, arguably, the two best offensive backcourt players anywhere on the school level for next season, the Blue squad was overwhelmed, 107-85, by the White, just like China (112-59), Canada (105-69), Team USA Red (103-83) and Russia (105-86) were the previous four evenings.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Team USA White center Greg Oden came into the event hyped as the most overpowering post player on the high school level. He left San Diego with his gold medal and his No. 1 big man credentials ever the more etched in stone.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Indianapolis resident, who was perfect from the field in the championship game while leading the Spiece Indy Heat to the Reebok/Big Time Tournament title in Las Vegas last July, was just as near-flawless in his Saturday night performance in Cox Arena.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He converted all nine of his field-goal attempts and all three of his free throws for 21 points to go with 11 rebounds. He was credited with just one assist and two blocked shots but those totals should have been more like three or four assists and four or five blocks.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Paul Harris and Bill Walker, who have the frames and physiques of NFL outside linebackers, scored 28 and 18 points, respectively, with Harris also doing a more then commendable 1-on-1 defensive job on Team USA Blue standout O.J. Mayo.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]How offensively skilled is the 6-4 Mayo? Harris’ defense on Mayo couldn’t have been any better yet the junior-to-be from Cincinnati scored 31 points despite missing the final five minutes of the second quarter while receiving five stitches over his right eye, courtesy an inadvertent elbow from Harris (who was dribbling against Mayo’s defense at the time).[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Wayne Ellington (27 points and 12 rebounds) also had a marvelous game for Team USA Blue. Maybe something – more accurately, someone – will change my opinion in July but the four games he played in San Diego convinced me that he’s clearly the best two-guard in the national Class of 2006.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]But while Mayo, Ellington and Tory Jackson (a very good point guard prospect from Saginaw, MI, Buena Vista) were combining to cast off 31 3-pointers (hitting 10), Team USA White was pounding the ball into the post to Oden.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And Harris and Walker were driving at will or overwhelming defenders inside the lane.[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Game . . . set . . . match.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ALL-TOURNAMENT<O:p></O:p>[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif](As selected by Frank Burlison)<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]MOST OUTSTANDING PLAYER:<O:p></O:p>[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Greg Oden (Team USA White/Indianapolis Lawrence North; 17.0 points and 7.6 rebounds per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: There are a lot of very, very good players in the national Class of 2006. But, literally and figuratively, Oden towers everyone. His offensive skills still need a lot of polishing but he’s made huge strides in that area over the past year.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]FIRST-TEAM ALL-TOURNEY<O:p></O:p>[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif](Oden included)<O:p></O:p>[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]O.J. Mayo (Team USA Blue/Cincinnati North College Hill; 27.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 6.0 steals per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: He’s the most offensively skilled guard on the school scene today. And his defense isn’t bad, either. He scored 31 points Saturday night, despite the cut over his right eye. But he could have done a better job of getting his teammates (other than Ellington) involved in the offensive flow, too, in the title game.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Paul Harris (Team USA White/Niagara Falls; 17.8 points, 9.0 points and 3.6 assists per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: His jump shot (to a great degree) and his decision making with the ball are going to need a lot of refinement if he’s going to be a full-time guard on the college level. But he’s 6-3 and about 225 pounds, and he gets maximum results out of all of that bulk and strength.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Wayne Ellington (Team USA Blue/Merion, PA, The Episcopal Academy; 20.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.3 steals per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: Offensively, he’s nearly as complete as Mayo. And there wasn’t a player with more fluidity, be it his velvety jump shot or slick/keep the defender on his heels/drives. He is North Carolina’s next All-America caliber guard.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Daequan Cook (Team USA Red/Dayton, OH, Dunbar; 20.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: He doesn’t have nearly the offensively versatility or fluidity of Ellington but he’s a more explosive (at least, vertically) athlete. With some ball-handling polish, he’ll be an All-Big Ten performer at Ohio State before too deeply into his college career.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SECOND TEAM<O:p></O:p>[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Bill Walker (Team USA White/Cincinnati North College Hill; 17.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: No matter how well I’m able to describe the way this guy jumps, you’ll still be stunned the first time you see him elevate with both elbows above the iron to darn near shatter a backboard. He has off-the charts strength and improving ball-handling, passing and jump-shooting skills.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Kyle Singler (Team USA White/Medford, OR, South; 14.0 points and 3.4 rebounds per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: This 6-8 wing has more long-term potential than any player in the event besides Oden and Mayo. Along with fellow junior-to-be and Portland Elite Legends teammate Kevin Love (Lake Oswego), he’ll go down as one of the all-time best ever out of Oregon.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Gerald Henderson (Team USA Red/Merion, PA, The Episcopal Academy; 16.0 points and 5.0 rebounds per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: The only thing he lacks right now to be among Mike Krzyzewski’s better players very early into his Duke career is the kind of legitimate jump shot that can keep defenders honest. “Unorthodox” describes his jumper right now.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Maxim Sheleketo (Russia/Petrovsk; 15.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.5 steals per game)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: He’s listed at 6-10 on his team’s roster but looks a lot closer to 6-8. Never mind, though: He could be in the NBA one day.<O:p></O:p>[/font]
<O:p></O:p>
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Chen Jianghua (China)[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Frank Says: Listed at 6-2 (probably very generously), his point guard skills surpassed any of his event counterparts other than Mayo. If he wasn’t the quickest player with the ball in his hands in the event, he was certainly the fastest. According to the team roster, he turned 16 on March 12. Relocate him to the United States and he’d be a McDonald’s All-America in a couple of years.[/font]
