Ivan Rabb, the relentless power forward from Oakland, California, has been crowned the top player in the class of 2015 by TMR Recruiting. His impressive motor combined with an athletic and long body screams potential which ultimately separates Rabb from the competition.

Chris McCullough is the classic high upside high school big man. He is long and athletic and can dominate his current competition on physical ability alone.

Most people, including myself, would label him a combo guard. In other words, he has the body of a point guard, but the playing style of a shooting guard. Unlike fellow point guard, Tyus Jones, Mudiay is more of a scorer than a facilitator. Read More
