Nike Elite 100: Surefire five-star Jalen Green leads wing group

ST. LOUIS -- Each year, the Nike Elite 100 spotlights some of the top rising sophomore and junior talent in America. Rising sophomore Jalen Green looks like a potential top five prospect in 2020 and led the talented group of wings.

How he stood out: Green looked a little gassed at times, having recently returned from Argentina with USA Basketball's gold medal-winning U16 group, but when he was on, there wasn't a better prospect in camp. He is a big-time athlete, creates shots easily and has few weaknesses.

Recruitment: Arizona, Creighton, Florida State, Fresno State, Washington, San Diego State, UNLV, USC and Villanova have already offered.

How he stood out: Boston is just a pup and he lacks strength, but he has huge upside and gives glimpses of a big-time future. He's long, has some shooting touch, will be a big-time athlete and has a chance to be a five-star prospect.

Recruitment: Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Xavier and Miami have showed early interest.

How he stood out: A combo forward who can play on the wing or as a stretch four, Brooks was one of the best scorers in camp. He's dangerous as a catch-and-shoot guy or a slashing driver.

Recruitment: Indiana, Michigan State, Purdue, UCLA, Kansas, Georgetown, Xavier and others have made early offers.

How he stood out: One of the more sound wings, Cunningham has incredible polish for such a young player. He's strong, smart and could be in the mix to be an initial five-star prospect in 2020.

Recruitment: Oklahoma State and Texas A&M have offered.

How he stood out: It's all about the long term for King. He can shoot with range, has tremendous length, is a wiry athlete and seems to be just scratching at the surface. His production doesn't yet match some guys ranked ahead of him, but watch what happens in a few years.

Recruitment: Wake Forest, USC, Virginia Tech, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia Tech and others have offered.

How he stood out: Moore is just a rock solid wing player. He's steady, always gives great effort and does the little things. He has a jump shot that looks pretty good and once he starts showing the confidence to shoot it more, he could really take off.

Recruitment:North Carolina, NC State, Wake Forest and many others have offered.

How he stood out: One of the most aggressive slashing wings at the event, Okoro lived at the rim and was all over the glass. More confidence in his jump shot could help him diversify his game, but he is going to get buckets regardless.

Recruitment: Florida, Florida State and Auburn are among his early offers.

How he stood out: Discussed as one of the next big-time prospects out of Canada, Patterson was impressive in spurts. He has a nice feel for the game, sneaks up on opponents with athleticism and has big upside.

Recruitment: Oregon and Florida have offered.

How he stood out: A rough-and-tumble wing, Tabor is a monster when he decides to attack the rim. He's got some all-around floor game to go along with his power.

Recruitment: St. John's, Auburn, Texas Tech, TCU, LSU, Iona and others have offered.

How he stood out: Not sure that anybody put up more points at camp than Watford. He is a confident three-point shooter and another one of those guys who is a combo forward with versatility. He isn't quite as big or polished as last week's No. 3 Draft pick Jayson Tatum was at the same age, but there are some similarities in his game.

Recruitment: Indiana, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Memphis, Ole Miss and others have offered.

How he stood out: One of the best wing athletes at the Elite 100, Watson is explosive, strong and aggressive. He's at his best in transition but is also a capable jump shooter who just needs to tighten up his ball handling a bit.

Recruitment: Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, Iowa and Oklahoma State are among early offers.

How he stood out: You can't rely on stats to tell the story of what Weems does on the floor. He creates possessions with deflections on defense, he rebounds, he passes well and he scores opportunistically. He reminds us a lot of former five-star Branden Dawson at the same age because of his physical toughness.

Recruitment: Michigan State, Michigan, Iowa, Creighton and Missouri have offered.
