    Similar to other thread, name best MS basketball players you played against or saw

    Here are mine.

    Point Guard - Tony Edmonds, 6' Corinth. Maybe best PG in state his senior year; signed with MSU but dropped out of school. He was cat quick and had great explosion to the hole.

    2Guard - Tim Jumper, 6'3" Baldwyn. Most talented HS player I played against. Got a nickname "baby Jordan" not just for his looks (although he really looked like Jordan, walked like and even played a little like" Only played against him a few times. One game he stole ball and jumped over our forward for a 2 hand dunk. Soon as he stole the ball I started praying for our defender who was helpless. Jumper went to Olemiss and was SEC freshman of the year. He blew his kness out which ended his career ultimately.

    Forward - Steve Davis, 6'6" Corinth - I was several years older than him and he was young when I was a senior. I got the best of him that one year but that was the only year I would have competed with him. He ended up at Olemiss and was also the SEC freshman of the year.

    Center - David Foote, 6'6 New Albany - Lean and quick for a center. I did not see a lot of dominant centers in HS but he was one of the better ones.

    Guard - Fred Stafford, 6'3", Biggersville - played against Fred a lot, had some good battles with him. They won state his senior year, he later played in JUCO NC game and lost to the Larry Johnson Stacy Augmon JUCO school. He later went to UNA and won a DII national championship. He got to play in old Boston Garden and was MVP of the NC game.

    I could list a bunch more that didn't play college ball that were really, really good. Played against some really good players in some tourneys but don't remember their names. They were some of top teams in the state so they were probably a few big names.
