After being snubbed from participating in both the Jordan Brand Classic and McDonald’s All-American Game, four-star Oregon State commit Ethan Thompson clearly made the most of his chance to measure himself against the top talents in high school basketball in the 2017 Ballislife All-American Game on Saturday afternoon at Long Beach City College. In the all-star showcase game, Thompson poured in a game-high 32 points on 14-18 shooting from the field, while helping Team Elite to a 153-134 victory over Team Future.
Thompson, who had his fair share of his own highlight reels moments on the night, was somewhat overshadowed by the flamboyant showcases from two of his Team Elite teammates in Minnesota signee Isaiah Washington and Alabama commit Collin Sexton.
