I think great players are players who will put the team on their backs and carry them the distance........great players make teams great, not just put up numbers for themselves. There are a lot of good players, that go on and play D-1........and get better, but were they really great HS players or good players that just got a break or got better in College?

It would be interesting to hear what other think makes a GREAT PLAYER. My thoughts, a GREAT PLAYER is a guy that the whole team looks up to as a player, as a leader and as a person. A great player wants the ball at the end of the game, not for the glory, but for the team victory. A good player wants the ball in hopes of gaining the glory no matter if the team wins or not. A Great player never blames a teammate for a lose, but always compliments them on a win. A Great HIGH SCHOOL player is a player that wins not only on the court but in the classroom and in the community.

A guy can average 40 points a game taking 50 shots a night, but that doesn't make him great.
