Now this one we understand....Juniors.  Class of 2005.   Very clear.  And these players were among the best at the camp in their class.   That much is clear.  In fact, we think that a few of them really deserved to be in the "Best of the Best" game, and we don't know what the committee was thinking, but hey, a game is a game is a game, and when there are a lot of college coaches in the room all taking notes and mentally wondering whether this or that player can help their program (or whether he has grades and a test score), sometimes it's actually better to be in a game where one player's superior skills, in relation to the rest of the guys in the class, really stand out, rather than getting caught up with all this "best" stuff.  In other words, it's all good, right?

Here's the list of players who participated in the Juniors All-Star Game:

Player Name  Height Weight Pos Class High School State
Noah Blakney 6'-3" 180 G 05 Mercer Island WA
Jason Briggs 6'-1" 180 PG 05 Olympia WA
Chris Busch 6'-5" 205 G/F 05 San Leandro CA
Rob Diedrichs 6'-6" 175 G/F 05 Shorewood WA
Kyle Issac Fisher 5'-8" 150 PG 05 JFK Berlin, Ger.
Jeff Jackson 6'-3" 170 F 05 Clovis West CA
Jerry-Davon Jefferson 6'-7" 175 F 05 Lynwood CA
Jake Linton 5'-10" 140 PG 05 Meadwodale WA
Desmond Moore 6'-3" 175 PG/SG 05 Westchester CA
Conor Mullen 6'-5" 185 G 05 O'Dea WA
Eric Petty, Jr. 6'-4" 190 G 05 North Salinas CA
Chris Peys 6'-2" 160 G 05 Long Beach Poly CA
Casey Reed 6'-5" 185 G/F 05 Canby OR
Andrew Schritter 6'-3" 180 G 05 Liberty Christian CA
Blake Soloman 6'-2" 170 G 05 Kentwood WA
Josh Tarver 6'-3" 165 G 05 Jesuit OR
Michael Turner 6'-3" 190 F 05 Marin Catholic CA
Antonio Weary 6'-2" 175 G 05 Lynwood CA
DeRay Wilson 5'-9" 160 PG 05 West Anchorage AK
Jacques Wilson 6'-0" 160 G 05 Marrietta GA

A few of the players we thought played well were some of the guys we've written about previously, including Jake Linton (who rarely, if ever, turns the ball over and had to be one of the top two point guards at the camp), Jacques Wilson, who is an excellent three point shooter, Jason Briggs, a strong, tough guard, and Josh Tarver, who has a chance to be a special player. Again, congratulations to all the players who were selected to this all-star game.  We look forward to seeing you progress and wish everyone a lot of success through the rest of the summer.
