I'm positive that if you aren't on a high school team it is nearly impossible to get any kind of deal with a college because they have nothing to go on. It would be like me joining a hockey team and having never played in highschool i get on the ice and i can't skate.
So you can either find a non-highschool team or switch highschools or wait and find a college that holds open tryouts (which won't be a good team) but don't plan on getting any scholarships or deals if you haven't played on a highschool team.

I was thinking about this yesterday and it's hard to tell. I think your given wings include:

- Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Kevin Durant.

Kobe would be in there too but he might be a bit old by 2012.

pg's probably look like this:

- Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo

but outside of Dwight Howard & Chris Bosh I have a hard time think who else would be in as a 4/5. there are just a lot of interchangeable players/talents.

Rondo still needs to show he can play internationally. Looked pretty bad against Lithuania, but the team is still basically in training camp.
