26 July 2014
|Yesterday I spent the day at the National Boys AAU Tournament held in Louisville, KY. Over 3,000 players and 294 teams participated in front of a multitude of college coaches. The event was held at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center where games were played on16 courts held under one roof. I focused on mostly the Class of 2015 and players who I normally would not see during the regular season. Below were my top 20+ picks:
The tournament continues today and will end on Monday.
