CHS Basketball: The Future
high school basketball in the United States has produced some of the greatest athletes in history. From Michael Jordan to Kobe Bryant Lebron James and more, high school basketball is a breeding ground for top talent. But what does the future hold for the sport?
The answer may lie in California, where a new breed of young players are beginning to make their mark. These players are not only incredibly talented, but they’re also doing things differently than the generations before them.
One such player is Zion Williamson a 6’7″ forward from Spartanburg, South Carolina Williamson is already being compared to Jordan and LeBron, and he’s only 17 years old. He’s been called “the most exciting player in high school basketball” by ESPN, and it’s easy to see why.
Williamson is an explosive player who can do it all on the court. He can shoot, he can rebound, he can block shots and he can dunk with authority. He’s also an incredible leaper; at one point during his high school career, he completed a windmill dunk from half-court.
While Williamson is the most famous player in this new generation of Californian high school basketball stars he’s far from the only one worth watching. There’s also 7’1″ center Bol Bol who attends Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana. Bol is already being recruited by some of the biggest college basketball programs in the country; many believe that he has a chance to be one of the best players in college basketball next season.
There’s also RJ Barrett, a 6’7″ wing from Montverde Academy in Florida (another hotbed for high school basketball talent). Barrett is originally from Mississauga, Ontario; he moved to Florida to attend Montverde Academy because it’s one of the best high school basketball programs in the United States Barrett has already committed to play College Basketball at Duke University next season.
All three of these players are incredibly talented, and they’re all different types of players. Zion Williamson is an explosive athlete who can do it all; Bol Bol is a big man with skills that are rare for someone his size; and RJ Barrett is a skilled wing who can score from anywhere on the court.
It’s impossible to say for sure what will happen with these young players but one thing is certain: they’re changing the landscape of high school basketball in California (and beyond). So if you’re a fan of High School basketball, make sure to keep an eye on these Rising Stars they’re sure to make waves in the years to come.
