McDonald's All-American Game: Ranking the week

RELATED: Porter takes home MVP award | Duval down to final five

CHICAGO -- The 2017 McDonald's All-American game came to a conclusion at the United Center on Wednesday night as the No. 1 player in the class Michael Porter Jr. earned MVP honors in his West team's win. Porter was the best player all week long and Mohamed Bamba was tremendous, but how did everybody else rank based on their performance in the three practices, closed scrimmage and the game? Here are the top performers from the week, in order.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to Missouri.

His week in Chicago: The top player in the country looked the part all week long. With 17 points and eight rebounds in the game, he secured MVP honors and a win. Expectations for his freshman year are huge and he looks ready for the challenge.

Recruiting wrap: Final four of Duke, Kentucky, Michigan and Texas.

His week in Chicago: Porter's hold on the top spot is looking pretty secure at this point, but if anybody can make a late run at him at may be Bamba. There was an awful lot of size at McDonald's for him to deal with and his fellow elite talent simply couldn't score on him.

Prediction: The Longhorns could be the sleeper here and are definitely a factor, but we'll give the edge to John Calipari and the Wildcats.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to Alabama.

His week in Chicago: Sexton entered with the reputation of being one of the most exciting players in the class and he lived up to it. Sexton showed he can get other top talent involved and during a week that was a bit lacking in competitive juice, he was always tuned in and getting after it. Look for a huge freshman year from him.

Recruiting wrap: Final four of Duke, Florida State, Kentucky and North Carolina.

His week in Chicago: One of the top undecided players in the country, Knox was solid from beginning to end. He's getting more and more reliable as a deep jump shooter, rebounded well all week and fits the mold of the hybrid combo forward that is so successful in today's game.

Prediction: Knox has deep family ties to Florida State and the Seminoles are in there, but we think he ends up on Tobacco Road and we will give North Carolina a slight edge.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to Western Kentucky.

His week in Chicago: Robinson still needs to add bulk to his skinny frame, but his upside is tremendous. He played above the rim all week long, showed improved touch and is a rim protector on defense who catches and finishes anything thrown near the rim on the offensive end.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to Arizona.

His week in Chicago: Ayton certainly had some moments in practice and the game, especially when he committed to playing around the rim where he could use his size and skill level. His ability to soften defenses with his shooting is intriguing, but he often settled for the jump shot.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to Oregon.

His week in Chicago: Brown is going to be a perfect fit in Eugene because of his size, athleticism and ability to play multiple positions. He was one of the most spirited defenders and is a smart, team-oriented player who never seemed to force anything.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to Kentucky.

His week in Chicago: Green has an infectious personality and showed tremendous leadership ability. He's not an overwhelming athlete and was one of the smaller guards in attendance, but his pull up jumper is a weapon and he has a nice arsenal of floaters and hesitation moves to go with his ability to make plays for others.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to Miami.

His week in Chicago: Not many players in attendance shot the ball consistently, but Walker was making deep jumpers all week long. His body is college-ready and he's probably been underrated athletically. He looks to be capable of being an instant impact guy in Coral Gables.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to UCLA.

His week in Chicago: There were times where Hands' lack of strength caused him some issues. However, along with Sexton, he showed the most speed and quickness of any guard in attendance. He's got a huge upside and looked comfortable.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to Duke.

His week in Chicago: All-Star settings aren't always fair to big men and Carter struggled at times with the length of some of the other bigs in attendance. However, he was as sound as any big when it came to back-to-the-basket scoring and he defended well and got on the glass.

Recruiting wrap: Down to Arizona, Michigan State, Oregon, San Diego State and UNLV.

His week in Chicago: McCoy showed up in the best shape that we've ever seen him in and played with tremendous energy all week. He's a big body whose offense is developing, but he proved he can make 12 foot jumpers and balanced that with good defense and rebounding.

Prediction: We are still leaning in the direction of Oregon here but it would be unwise to sleep on UNLV.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to Kansas.

His week in Chicago: Of all the power forwards in attendance, Preston was one of the most mobile and he's got functional athleticism and strength that allows him to play through contact. He can rebound at a high rate and is dangerous attacking bigs off the dribble. The jumper is going to be a part of his game down the road, but he has to be careful not to settle for it.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to Michigan State.

His week in Chicago: As one NBA scout said, Jackson is a fawn just starting to realize his potential. He wasn't quite as athletic as some of the other bigs but showed patience, a willingness to mix it up a bit and given that he's very young for the class (won't turn 18 until after the start of his freshman year), it's hard to think anything other than his best basketball is ahead of him.

Recruiting wrap: Committed to Oklahoma.

His week in Chicago: When he got his feet set and got a clean look at the rim, Young was the best shooter in the building. He's a score-first point guard, but had some nice moments setting up teammates in practice and the game. Oklahoma is going to be young and talented next year and he gives them additional firepower.

P.J. Washington, forward, committed to Kentucky

Washington was generally solid, attacked the boards and showed a nice balance between his inside and outside game.

Trevon Duval, point guard, undecided

Under the weather to begin the week, the nation's top ranked point guard never really settled into his comfort zone. Down to Arizona, Baylor, Duke, Kansas and Seton Hall.

Prediction: We'll give Duke the edge at this juncture.

M.J. Walker, shooting guard, undecided

Walker is a strong two guard who can make jumpers and finish through contact. Florida State and Georgia Tech look to be well ahead of a field of several others.

Prediction: This one is a close call but we're leaning towards Florida State.

Jarred Vanderbilt, forward, committed to Kentucky

Vanderbilt has done a nice job of adding strength to his upper body but didn't quite look 100 percent after injury issues during his senior season.

Nick Richards, center, committed to Kentucky

Richards took the practices and games as seriously as anybody in the building. Physically tough, rebounds and defends. His offense is a work in progress.

Gary Trent, shooting guard, committed to Duke

For whatever reason, Trent just never really seemed to get going offensively. As physically tough as any guard in the country.

Kris Wilkes, small forward, committed to UCLA

Wilkes has tremendous size for a wing and is a fun finisher in the open court. He was generally solid.

Brian Bowen, small forward, undecided

It was a relatively quiet week for Bowen, who will now compete with his high school team in the Dick's National tournament. He's still listing Arizona, Creighton, Michigan State, N.C. State and Texas even though the latter two don't look to be too involved.

Prediction: Bowen is tough to read, but we'll give the edge to Arizona.

Charles O’Bannon, shooting guard, committed to USC

O'Bannon is a pure scorer who has good size and is a sneaky athlete. His defense is going to need some work at the Pac 12 level.
