Playing in an environment that can be described as a combination of the NBA All-Star Game and an And One mixtape, Kobi Simmons flashed his five-star potential.
The Buckeye target took part in the Under Armour Elite 24, Saturday, along with 23 other top prospects from the 2016 and 2017 classes. It had the feel of a classic New York City streetball contest thanks to the backdrop and the emcee, Hannibal, who is the voice of Rucker Park hoops. Plus, both offenses were iso-heavy and hardly anyone exerted energy on the defensive end.
