At least nine of the best 100 or so players in the national prep basketball senior class are expected to be in the same gymnasium Wednesday night.
The “Best of Vegas” is on tap at Bishop Gorman High in Las Vegas, with the evening’s action scheduled to culminate in a game featuring the Findlay Prep team taking on a squad heavily populated by Bishop Gorman’s plethora of elite prospects.
Gorman’s four high major-bound seniors – Shabazz Muhammad, Rosco Allen, Ben Carter and Demetris Morant – along with future UNLV guard Katin Reinhardt (Santa Ana, CA, Mater) will pace the “Best of Vegas” team that faces Findlay Prep at 9 p.m. in the capper of the evening’s contests.
Findlay Prep is paced by seniors Brandon Ashley (committed to Arizona), Dominic Artist (UCLA), Anthony Bennett and Winston Shepard, along with juniors Christian Wood and Nigel Goss-Williams.
So, how does Muhammad vs. Shepard, Wood vs. Allen, Ashley vs. Carter and Bennett vs. Morant sound, with Artis vs. Reinhardt tossed in for good measure?
That’s worth the $10 admission by itself.
But . . . there’s more.
Things get underway at 5 o’clock, with the Top 20 eighth-grade/freshman contest, followed at 6 by the Top 20 sophomore contest, the Top 20 juniors at 7 and the Top 40 seniors at 8.
I’ll be there so that you can read about it here.
