SLAM MAGAZINE HS ALL-AMERICANS: HIT OR MISS?

In 1994, Slam's inaugural High School All-American First Team selections included three seniors (Felipe Lopez, Jerod Ward and Raef LaFrentz) as well as two juniors (Stephon Marbury and Kevin Garnett). In the years since, Slam has made an annual tradition of announcing their first, second and third team All-Americans. Sometimes the players lived up to the hype (Kobe, Garnett, LeBron, etc) and sometimes they faded into obscurity (Lester Earl, Chris Burgess, Kelvin Torbert, etc).

Being selected as a much-heralded Slam All-American clearly isn't a guarantee of future fame and fortune (although Slam do a much better job than most). In fact, using the 1994-2004 All-American selections as a sample (since it's unfair to include more recent players who might yet make it big in the League), I calculated the following statistics:

- Of all the players selected to the Slam HS All-American first, second or third teams between 1994 and 2004, 26 players (16%) became All-Stars while 37 players (22%) went undrafted.

- Being selected to the Slam HS All-American First Team improves your odds of becoming an All-Star, with 15 players (28%) achieving that feat.

- However, on the other hand, there is a 13% chance that you won't get drafted even if you make it onto Slam's First Team. Just ask Wayne Turner, Jerod Ward, Lester Earl, Chris Burgess, LaVell Blanchard, Kelvin Torbert and Jonathan Hargett.

- If you fail to make one of Slam's All-American teams, fear not. There is still hope. Take solace in the fact that none of the following late bloomers made a Slam All-American team but still went on to appear in at least one NBA All-Star game: Dwyane Wade, Joe Johnson, Shawn Marion, Gilbert Arenas, Richard Hamilton, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo, Wally Szczerbiak, Kenyon Martin, Steve Francis, David West, Al Horford, Brandon Roy, Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Jameer Nelson, Devin Harris, Chris Kaman, Josh Howard, Michael Redd, Danny Granger, Andrew Bynum, Andre Iguodala, Roy Hibbert, James Harden, Paul George, Joakim Noah and Brook Lopez.

Below is a list of all of the Slam HS All-Americans. Enjoy.
