The 2017 McDonald’s All-American Game is here, and One Shining Podcast is back to break it down. I’m joining Scott Phillips of NBC Sports and Jonathan Tjarks of The Ringer to talk about the best high school prospects in this year’s class.
Topics include:
- How do the top five players in this class compare to the top five players in last year’s class?
- Who’s No. 1: Michael Porter Jr. or DeAndre Ayton? We also dish out NBA player comps for both.
- The top point guards are Alabama commit Collin Sexton and Trevon Duval (uncommitted). Can they carry the torch from the great freshmen guards we saw this past season?
- Michigan State commit Jaren Jackson Jr. is one of our favorite sleepers. We explain why.
- How will Kentucky be next year? The Wildcats have four McDonald’s All-Americans, but will they fit well together?
- Why Kevin Knox is the most important uncommitted player on the board.
The McDonald’s All-American Game begins at 7 p.m. ET and can be watched on ESPN.
