2016 Les Schwab Invitational

Hello NBADraft.net! Hope everyone is having a great holiday season. Wanted to come here and give a shoutout to the Les Schwab Invitational, about to enter its 21st year. Got to cover it last year and see [Player: Markelle Fultz] show out, along with a strong winner in Oak Hill. This year, Sierra Canyon will be the favorite, with consensus #1 player in 2018 [Player: Marvin Bagley] along with a couple of Pac-12 commits in [Player: Cody Riley] (UCLA) and [Player: Remy Martin] (Arizona St.).

The Brandon Roy coached Nathan Hale has both [Player: Michael Porter] and [Player: Jontay Porter] both committed to Washington (where the father is an assistant coach and there fathers best friend, Lorenzo Romar, is head coach). Garfield, Roy’s alma mater, is also stacked with a Washington committed backcourt of [Player: Daejon Davis] and [Player: Jaylen Nowell], along with junior big man [Player: JRaan Brooks]. Gonzaga Prep has an explosive small guard committed to Miami, [Player: Chris Lykes], plus a strong supporting cast including some intriguing underclassmen.

So, the LSI is at Liberty High Scholl in Hillsboro, Oregon. Was going to do a preview, but I am not sure I can do one much better than the folks at Prime Time Sports did, so will leave the link.

Will be there all four days, weather permitting (snow shuts things down here, unfortunately), and if you want to meet up to talk prospects, here is my twitter. Barring some unforeseen catastrophe, you will see at least two future NBA lottery picks (the elder brothers of the Porter and Bagley clans are quite real, with their younger siblings certainly having something to their game as well) and a number of future college players. The out-of-state teams are the favorite for the semifinals, though both Jefferson and West Linn should put up a fight for Oregon. Here was my write-up from last year as well, for the heck of it:
