Top 15 players from Vegas tournaments
Taking a cue from Clark Francis of Hoop Scoop, here are the top 15 players (in no particular order after No. 1) we saw in the three 17-and-under tournaments at Vegas.

Derrick Favors, 6-9 power forward, South Atlanta H.S. (it was nice of Cheese Johnson to point out Favors and his son Noel were the blue chip players recruited by the late Wallace Prather for his eighth grade team four years ago)

John Wall, 6-3 guard, Word of God Christian Academy, Raleigh, N.C. (D-I)

Kenny Boynton, 6-3 guard, American Heritage School, Plantation, Fla. (Team Breakdown)

Roberto Nelson, 6-4 forward, Santa Barbara H.S. (Compton Magic)

Junior Cadougan, 6-0 guard, Christian Life Center Academy, Humble, Tex. (Grassroots Canada)

Tony Wroten, 6-5 sophomore forward, Seattle Garfield (Seattle Rotary)

Wally Judge, 6-9 forward, Arlington Country Day, Jacksonville, Fla. (DC Assault)

Brandon Knight, 6-3 junior guard, Ft. Lauderdale Pinecrest (Team Breakdown)

Avery Bradley, 6-1 guard, Tacoma Bellarmine Prep (Northwest Panthers)

Keith "Tiny" Gallon, 6-8 center, Oak Hill Academy, Va. (Houston Hoops)

Lance Stephenson, 6-6 guard, Brooklyn Lincoln (Rising Stars)

Tristan Thompson, 6-9 junior forward, St. Benedict's, Newark, N.J. (Grassroots Canada)

Joe Burton, 6-8 center, Hemet West Valley, Calif. (Compton Magic)

Mouph Yarou, 6-10 center, Massanutten Military Academy, Woodstock, Va. (Cecil Kirk)

Maurice Creek, 6-5 guard, Hargrave Military Academy, Chatham, Va. (Triple Threat of Md.) and Roger Franklin, 6-3 guard, Duncanville, Tex. (Team Texas).

Reebok had great guard play at the top with Wall, Boynton, Knight, Bradley, Creek and Abdul Gaddy of Tacoma Bellarmine. Nike had a strong group of upperclassmen playing up, like 7-0 Jeremy Tyler of San Diego and guard Gary Franklin of Mater Dei H.S. in Santa Ana, Calif.

But for our money, Adidas had the best tournaments in all age brackets.

We were particularly impressed by the Adidas 17 and 16s. The last three rounds of the 16s were riveting. Best players we saw in that event, by the way, were 6-9 Josh Hairston of Courtland, Va., and guard Tyler Thornton of Gonzaga (DC Assault), 6-6 Jayvaughn Pinkston of Loughlin (New Heights) and guard Isiah Epps of Scotch Plains (Playaz Red).
