They were the two highest rated recruits in their class.  One publication had Brown as the top recruit.  Most had Brown as 2nd behind Simmons.

We get to see them go head-to-head on July 4th in the Summer league.  Gonna be fun.

High school?  C'mon man, I expect better from you.

High school was only a year ago for these guys.  It's not irrelevant.  That said, by the end of their senior years, Brandon Ingram and Skal had surpassed Jaylen in most rankings.  (One of these things is not like the other...)

this was only for fun guys, but what i liked was Jaylens fire when guarding Ben, and obvious DESIRE to win. Hes a competitor, truly.

I think hes going to be a good one.

Wow, that's amazing (sarcasm)! ::) Honestly, who cares about high school rankings, anyway - they're meaningless.  Avery Bradley, for example, was once rated higher than John Wall ::).

Virtually everyone who gets drafted early these days is what, 1 year removed from high school?
