SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — After another cold, but enjoyable weekend at the Hoophall Classic, here is our All-Tournament Team.
These may not have been the most highly ranked players at the tournament, but these are the guys whose performances impressed us the most.
The group includes several uncommitted underclassmen as well as seniors pledged to Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, Texas, Baylor, Houston, Illinois, Nebraska, Notre Dame, UConn, Providence, Auburn and Bowling Green.
The 2020 All-Hoophall team featured current NBA players Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, Cam Thomas and B.J. Boston, as well as current college stars like Trevor Keels of Duke, Hunter Dickinson of Michigan and Adama Sanogo of UConn.
