Will this game be played in Knoxville this year? I know last year I took my Jr. Pro team to watch the game and they enjoyed it. Really, they enjoyed John Elway sitting along the court. Also, they enjoyed the point guard with the last name of White, that's on LSU LADY Tigers team now. She was shaking people like a salt shaker. But beside those highlights, the game was well worth it.

Did anyone notice that this Gerald Green guy is a 6'8" gaurd. Thats crazy, especially with him having a chance to grow more. and Shawne Williams is a 6'10" gaurd??? i find that hard to believe ive never heard of a guy that big playin gaurd in college.

My question is...Where is Louis Williams? This kid is the #1 player in the country and he didn't make this team. What are the criteria for getting into this game?

You can only play in two all-star games...Williams might have turned it down.

[gomab2]

Shawne Williams is a 6'9 WF... He is not quick enough to play the "2" spot, but he does play on the perimeter... 6'10 is definitely a stretch as well...

 

Gerald Green is closer to 6'7, but incredibly athletic. He also is a SF/perimiter player, but not quick enough on the defensive end to play a 2... Green is a very good player, and rumor of a jump to the NBA...

 

Both players are 19, going on 20. They were both slated originally to graduate last year, but now are 5th year prep school players, so they are a year older than the normal senior...

 

That's why I go with Monte and Louis ahead of those two above; because they're a whole year behind age-wise...

[relientkc]

Yeah, Gerald Green is no 6'9". He probably is at 6'7" though. He is one amazing player. Depending on what source you go to he's the number one player ahead of Louis Williams. It's really a toss-up in my opinion, but like gomab said, Williams is younger.

Gomab, the reason why Monta Ellis and Louis Williams are not in the Roundball Classic has nothing to do with the age of Shawne Williams or the legit 6'8 Wing freak Gerald Green, but rather the fact the EA Roundball Classic mainly picked players with Adidas affiliations who attended ABCD camp. It doesn't matter how old these kids are because they're still in highschool or prep school, thus they have just as much right to play in All-Star games as anyone else who might make a mistake.The game is being played in Illinois and 5 area players where picked to play in the game. The Jordan capitol classic will feature guys such as Louis Willams, Ellis,etc.
