QUICK ANALYSIS:
The McDonald's All-American game will be loaded at the point guard and small forward position while both the East and West teams will be hurting for quality big men. The talent of this game will be hurt by injuries as two of the top players in the country will not be able to participate. Harry Giles and Dennis Smith both tore their ACL's and are headed to Duke and N.C. State, respectively. Also, numerous five-star players such as Rawle Alkins, Thon Maker, and Wenyen Gabriel were not eligible for participation in the game.
