Meet 20 breakout high school boys basketball stars across the country in 2023-24
Late last fall as the football season wound down, we featured the high school boys basketball players expected to be best in the nation at their respective positions in 2023-24.
We grouped the star players by point guards, combo guards, wings, forwards and posts, then gave fans the chance to vote for the best of the best at each position.
Now we're featuring 20 players across the country who have raised eyebrows with their breakout performances in 2023-24 — but don't have a bunch of stars next to their names in the recruiting world.
It's an underclassman-heavy list, but we included a few seniors showing out in their final year of high school basketball.
