Ty-Shon Alexander doesn't waste time when it comes to basketball.
When he was a high school freshman, Alexander played AAU basketball at the 17U level on the Under Armour Association.
Just after his sophomore year started, the Concord, N.C. native transferred to Oak Hill Academy (Va.)--the high school basketball powerhouse that has seen players like Kevin Durant, Rajon Rondo, and Carmelo Anthony once walk its halls.
That following season, he would help Oak Hill down La Lumiere (Ind.) in the Dick’s Sporting Goods National Championship game at Madison Square Garden, putting the finishing touches on a 45-1 year.
