Jr. All-Star Analysis:
If we sat down to do a preseason ranking of the top 17u teams in the country (we will soon!), Jason Kidd Select would be in the conversation for the top spot. If we were forced to, we would also pick them as the favorite in the league this year. Many of their 17u players are seasoned, already having played at the 17u level last year. Jordan Lee & Harper Peterson are tremendous, and they are joined by another top 50 guard in Shai Ijiwoye. Needless to say, they will be fun to watch!
