I have had an opportunity this spring to attend a number of events and have seen many impressive performances. By no means have I seen everyone, but I wanted to have a little fun based on who I saw from the Class of 2011 and list my All-Spring teams (based on performance not position).
First teamAustin Rivers (Winter Park, Fla./Winter Park), SG -- He is a confident scoring machine.
Bradley Beal (St. Louis/Chaminade), SG -- He is a true shooting guard with deep range.
Quincy Miller (North Chicago, Ill./Westchester County), PF -- He's a skilled matchup night mare with 3-point range.
Johnny O'Bryant (Cleveland/East Side), C -- His added muscle has made him hard to handle in the lane.
Anthony Davis (Chicago/Perspectives Charter), PF -- He's a versatile, skilled prospect with off-the-charts upside.
Second teamJabari Brown (Oakland, Calif./Oakland), SG -- He's another true shooting guard with range that plays above the rim on the break.
Marquis Teague (Indianapolis, Ind./Pike), PG -- He kills defenders off the dribble.
Jakarr Sampson (Akron, Ohio/Saints Vincent-St. Mary's), SF -- He could be the next Scottie Pippen.
Nick Johnson (Gilbert, Ariz./Findlay Prep), SG -- He could be the most athletic wing in the class and he's an excellent on-ball defender.
Ben McLemore (St.Louis/Eskridge), SG -- The athletic wing that scores with flare blew up this spring.
Third teamNorman Powell (San Diego/Abraham Lincoln), SG -- He can score on anyone and can hit the open jumper to the arc.
Levi Randolph (Madison, Ala./Bob Jones), SG -- He is a complete shooting guard.
Nick Faust (Baltimore, Md./Baltimore City College), SG -- The long, athletic wing can excel at all three perimeter positions.
Tony Wroten Jr. (Renton, Wash./Garfield), PG -- He returned from injury and has looked good.
Dorian Finney-Smith (Portsmouth, Va./Norcom), SF -- He is a super skilled combo forward.
