Where Is Every 2020 McDonald’s All-American Today? 🍟

The McDonald’s All-American Game. The premier showcase for the country’s best high school basketball players since 1978. Hall of Famers, generational superstars, high school legends and highly touted prospects who never quite reached expectations have all earned the honor. There's a good chance your favorite player once stepped onto this stage.

Traditionally divided into East and West rosters, the event gives the nation’s most celebrated prospects one last opportunity to show out at the high school level before beginning the next chapter of their careers. Every player chosen has enormous expectations, but being labeled “next up” can make or break you. Many of these kids went on to be superstars. Some carved out respectable careers as role players. Some found success overseas or disappeared from the basketball spotlight altogether.

For the first installment of this series, let's visit the game that never even happened. The 2020 event was canceled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, denying a loaded class its opportunity to share the floor. Six years later, let’s examine every prospect named a 2020 McDonald’s All-American—and determine whether each one ultimately lived up to the hype.

East

1. Scottie Barnes (F)

The crown jewel of this class, Barnes not only lived up to the hype: he surpassed it. At Montverde, Barnes was the ultimately glue guy on a superteam that featured the likes of Cade Cunningham, Day'Ron Sharpe and more. In short—it was one of the greatest high school teams every assembled. Fast-forward to now? Barnes is a two-time NBA All-Star and is coming off of his very first All-Defensive Team selection. Coming out of Florida State, the consensus was that Barnes would be a standout lockdown defender, but not much else. He came off of the bench and shot just 30% from three. Now? I think it's safe to say Barnes is an above average scorer as well. The kid transformed from a raw, high-motored defensive prospect into the Raptors legitimate future.

2. Terrence Clarke (G)

This is one of the most heartbreaking "what-if" stories in basketball history. As a Boston-boy myself, it hurts more. Suiting up for Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, Clarke was a prodigy. At 6'8", his elite scoring ability combined with a highly infectious personality made him a universally loved prospect, leading Brewster to the National Prep Championship in 2019. Clarke eventually committed to Kentucky where he was limited to just eight games due to injury.

The physical tools and talent were still evident, and he was widely projected as a second-round selection. Tragically, Clarke never received the opportunity to hear his name called by a team. On April 22, 2021, he passed in a car accident at just 19. That summer, the NBA ceremonially drafted Clarke and invited his family onstage, ensuring that he still experienced the moment he had worked his whole life to reach. The basketball world lost a gifted prospect and instead received one of the biggest "what-if's" ever.

3. Sharife Cooper (G)

Cooper was a mixtape god in high school. He was electric, undersized, uber-athletic and led McEachern to the sate title alongside Isaac Okoro. The shiftiness, the passing, the range, it was like witnessing Trae Young all over again. Unfortunately, an investigation into his college eligibility cut his NCAA career to just 12 games, where the scoring was there (20 ppg), but the efficiency wasn't (22% from three). Standing just 6'0", the consensus was he'd get pushed around at the NBA level but the Hawks took a chance on him at no. 48.

Cooper played just 13 games his rookie season before floating around in the G-League, China, Turkey, France and more. For a 24-year-old, the NBA was surely still on the table, and Cooper managed to clinch a two-way contract with the Wizards in 2025, where he played some of his most efficient basketball to date (8 points, 51% from the field).

4. Cade Cunningham (G)

Photo: Mark J. Rebilas-ImagnImages

Cade's arc is a phenomenal basketball story, especially when you look at the dark days of his early career and the juggernaut he just turned Detroit into. At Montverde, Cade was the engine of a team that went 25-0 with an average victory margin of 40 points. They beat teams so badly, he only had to play twenty minutes per game. When he took that show to Oklahoma State, he averaged 20, 6 and 3 as the undisputed, consensus number one pick. As a rookie, Cade put up 17 points a game on one of the worst teams in the league and was frequently discussed alongside Jalen Green as the best young guard in the class.

Then everything stalled. A shin injury limited him to just 12 games during his second season, and the Pistons collapsed to a 17–65 record. The following year? A 28-game losing streak. Then everything changed in year four. He exploded for 26 and 9, earned his first All-Star appearance and forced Detroit back into the playoffs. The Pistons put up 60 wins this season as Division champions. So did he live up to the hype? Absolutely.

5. R.J. Davis (G)

Photo: John Byrum-Getty

R.J.'s collegiate resume is legendary, but now he's trying to find a way to prove everyone wrong at the pro-level. Before he wore Carolina blue, he was a bona fide star in his hometown of White Plains, New York. He led Archbishop Stepinac to a state federation championship and stood out as a lethal offensive weapon in a small package. At UNC, he embarked on a five-year collegiate career that cemented him as one of the greatest guards in North Carolina history.

He finished his career with 2,700 points, trailing only Tyler Hansbrough on the all-time scoring list. In the 2023-24 season he averaged 21.2 points a night and took home the Jerry West Award. Despite the resume, his size and age caused him to go undrafted. Despite balling out in the Summer League for the Lakers, Davis couldn't clinch an NBA contract, but balled out for the South Bay Lakers with 18 points a night. The jury is still out for him.

6. Dawson Garcia (F)

A true college nomad trying to find his footing, Dawson was a highly touted recruit who took the scenic route to find his schtick. Coming out of Minnesota as a top-40 prospect, Garcia committed to Marquette and had a decent rookie season. Then came the high-profile transfer to UNC, where he suited up with R.J. Davis for his best shot at winning a national title. Unfortunately, he only played sixteen games, citing the need to be back home. What transpired next? Garcia opted to return home and play for Minnesota—and that was where everything finally clicked.

Rather than becoming another temporary stop on his college journey, the Golden Gophers became his program. Garcia led Minnesota in both scoring and rebounding during all three of his seasons, earned multiple All-Big Ten honors and finished his career ranked 10th in program history with 1,557 points. Garcia went undrafted and has been competing with Detroit's G-League affiliate the Motor City Cruise.

7. Jeremy Roach (G)

Photo: Cameron Brennan-Getty

At Paul VI Catholic, Roach was a consensus five-star recruit and one of the most skilled point guards in the high school game. Despite missing his junior year to a torn ACL, he bounced back a senior, showcased insane, explosive vert and subsequently had Duke, Kentucky and more knocking down his door. At Duke, he went from a blue-chip prospect into a dependable starter, but he never quite broke out as the dynamic star many expected. He averaged just 8 points through his first two seasons while shooting low 40s.

As a junior-senior, he bumped his points up to 14 a night, but as the bona fide captain, Duke never made it past the second round. Roach used his fifth year of eligibility to ball out at Baylor but his game regressed, putting up 10 points on 37% from the field. Going undrafted in 2025 wasn't a shock and he signed with King Szczecin of the Polish Basketball league that same summer, where he remains.

8. Day'Ron Sharpe (C)

Photo: Bill Streicher-ImagnImages

Day'Ron didn't have the flashy scoring profile of some of these future lottery picks, but he didn't need to. He's quietly been carving out a legitimate, highly-efficient niche for himself on a Brooklyn team ready to take the league by storm next season. A bruising, high-motor center, Sharpe was the interior anchor for that juggernaut Montverde team that featured Cade and Scottie. He was never the primary scoring option, but his physicality and glass-cleaning made him a five-star standout.

In his lone collegiate season at North Carolina, Sharpe clinched ACC All-Freshman Team honors before declaring for the draft. Picked 29th, Sharpe spent his first few seasons as a reliable backup center for the likes of Andre Drummond, Nic Claxton, LaMarcus Aldridge and more. In terms of efficiency, he's been a statistical anomaly and shot north of 60% last season, working a three-point jumper into his game as well.

9. Jaden Springer (G)

Photo: Alex Goodlett-Getty

Jaden Springer is a sobering reminder of just how difficult the leap is from "high school standout" to NBA starter. At IMG Academy, Springer was a powerhouse in the program's long line of gifted guards. He was a tenacious two-way floor general and was built like a pro. At Tennessee, he was the guy you expected to take the most important shot. Through a solid one and done campaign, Springer put up 12 points on 43% from three and earned SEC All-Freshman honors, but even then, there were questions about his offensive bag and whether or not he could translate to the NBA.

The 76ers selected him 28th, betting on his defensive instincts to take over but it's been an uphill battle. He's essentially spent the last five years in a state of professional flux. He hasn't been able to find a stable home, bouncing from team to team and has averaged just 2.9 points per game over 110 bouts played.

10. Bryce Thompson (G)

Photo: William Purnell-ImagnImages

Bryce Thompson has been a bucket getter at every single level, and while he hasn't cracked an NBA roster just yet, he's absolutely putting in the work. In high school at Booker T. Washington, Thompson averaged 25 points a night, was named the Gatorade Player of the Year back-to-back, and could score from all three levels. Thompson committed to Kansas in 2020, but following a poor season riddled with injuries, he transferred to Oklahoma State University to fill the void left by Cade Cunningham.

He spent four years as the Cowboys primary shooting guard, nearly hitting the 1k point mark and keeping OSU as one of the more exciting teams in the Big 12. Howard went undrafted in 2025 , and has spent the last year grinding through the G-League, but in what feels full circle, he's signed a contract with the OKC Blue, returning to the Sooner State once more.

11. Isaiah Todd (F)

Photo: Takashi Aoyama-AP

Todd was one of the inaugural faces of the G League Ignite experiment that produced a ton of talent, but his career has been a rollercoaster since. A top-15 player in the country, Todd balled out at Word of God Christian Academy and was initially committed to Michigan. When he pivoted to join the G League Ignite’s first-ever roster in 2020, it was seen as a massive signal that the traditional college route might be losing its grip on elite talent. He had a decent season there, averaging 12 points and building up the type of body scouts drool over.

Todd was the first pick in the second round of the 2021 Draft, and let's just say, his NBA career was basically over before it even began. He played just 12 games his rookie year, averaging 1 point and 1 rebound per game on 6 minutes of action. The following year? Just 6 games played before getting traded in the blockbuster trade package that sent Bradley Beal to Phoenix. Todd was waived shortly after and is now playing for the P. League+ in Taiwan.

12. Mark Williams (C)

Mark Williams has been a fantastic center. A pure seven-footer with a massive wingspan and elite defensive instincts, he's been one of the more reliable bigs in the NBA. Coming out of IMG, scouts raved about Williams' absurd length, rim protection and effortless ability to finish above the rim. The biggest questions centered around his offensive game and physical development—not whether he could anchor a defense. The guy didn't showcase much of a jumper, but he didn't need to.

After spending two seasons at Duke, Williams entered the 2022 NBA Draft as one of the premier centers available. Charlotte selected him 15th overall, and he quickly established himself as a high-efficiency paint presence. Whether it was catching lobs, protecting the rim or vacuuming up rebounds, Williams embraced his role and became one of the NBA's better traditional centers. After a chaotic deal that briefly linked him to the Lakers, he found his way to Phoenix where he continues to be a double double threat.

West

1. Brandon Boston Jr. (F)

Photo: Ty Phillips-LATimes

At 6-foot-7, long, athletic and lightning quick, BJ Boston was the prototypical high school bucket getter. Built like Brandon Ingram but equipped with a silky handle reminiscent of Jamal Crawford, Boston took Sierra Canyon by storm. Alongside Terrence Clarke, he was expected to help usher Kentucky back into national title contention. What transpired? Questionable efficiency, inconsistent shot selection and a complete lack of confidence derailed what many believed would be a one-and-done campaign.

Boston averaged just 11.5 points while shooting 36 percent from the field and under 30 percent from three as Kentucky stumbled to a disappointing 9-16 record. Still, the physical tools were impossible to ignore and the expectation was that with conditioning, Boston could be elite. The Clippers selected him with the 51st overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, betting on his upside and Boston developed into a capable catch and shoot wing at times, but not much after that. Following ankle surgery, Boston suited up in Turkey and is currently without a contract at 24 years old.

2. Greg Brown III (F)

Photo: Dahnjay Price-AP

Coming out of high school, Brown's ceiling looked absolutely limitless, but his path has been a bit rocky. His senior mixtape went viral—the kid was an absolute human highlight reel with explosive finishing ability. As a senior at Vandegrift, he averaged 26 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, leading the 33-3 squad to it's first district title. Opting to remain a hometown hero, Brown chose Texas, where he averaged 9 points per game in his lone season.

While he had some massive highlights and earned Big 12 All-Freshman Team honors, his offensive game was noticeably raw. He struggled with shooting efficiency and turnovers, which caused his NBA draft stock to slip significantly from early-season theories. Brown fell 43rd to the Pelicans before getting immediately traded to the Blazers, where he averaged just 4 points per game his rookie year. Following a shaky sophomore season, Brown was waived but clinched a brief tenure in Dallas. He's since seen stints in the G-League, Canada and Greece.

3. Nimari Burnett (G)

Photo: Aaron Thornton-Getty

A late bloomer, Nimari Burnett has one of the most resilient, winding and ultimately triumphant stories of his entire class. Alongside Jalen Green, he helped transform Prolific Prep into one of the premier basketball programs on the West Coast. A consensus five-star recruit, Burnett was an offensive machine, committing to Texas Tech as the highest-ranked recruit in program history. Unfortunately his anticipated breakout never arrived. He averaged only 5.3 points across 12 appearances before leaving the program midway through his freshman season. Burnett then transferred to Alabama, where a severe right knee injury forced him to miss the entire 2021–22 campaign. He finally returned the following season, but the adversity continued. Burnett averaged 5.6 points across 27 games and missed another nine contests after undergoing wrist surgery.

Searching for one more opportunity, Burnett transferred to Michigan—and finally found his home. He immediately became a full-time starter and remarkably started 109 consecutive games without missing a single appearance during his three seasons in Ann Arbor. During his final season, Burnett helped Michigan finish 37–3 and capture its first national championship since 1989. Burnett went undrafted in 2026, but the Toronto Raptors quickly signed him to an Exhibit 10 contract and added him to their Summer League roster. Here's hoping he clinches a permanent roster spot.

4. Josh Christopher (G)

Photo: Sam Navarro-ImagnImages

Jaygup was a viral sensation at Mayfair, known for his 1v1 isolations, physicality and aggressive downhill finishing. The kid drew massive crowds and looked like a potential star. A consensus five-star recruit, he was ranked among the top shooting guards in the country. With his NBA-ready frame and immense social media following, he was expected to be a major impact player at the college level. Instead of taking the blue-blood route, Christopher shocked the world and suited up with his brother Caleb at Arizona State.

Unfortunately, his lone season was heavily hampered by injuries and he only played 15 games, averaging 14 points and subsequently winning no hardware. The Rockets picked him up 24th next to Jalen Green, and they looked like the future of Houston basketball. Christopher had a promising rookie season: 8 points on 44% from the field, but unfortunately Houston's young core quickly became crowded with the arrivals of Jabari Smith Jr., Daishen Nix, and more. He signed with the Heat in 2024 but averaged just 2 points and was subsequently released. He's currently balling out in the CBA, which in all honesty, kind of hurts.

5. Jalen Green (G)

Photo: Mark J. Rebilas-ImagnImages

I'd be lying if I said I didn't think Jalen Green had Hall-of-Fame upside in 2020. By 2021, he wasn't just meeting the hype, he completely altered the development pathway for elite high school prospects by bypassing college entirely. A consensus five-star prospect who won multiple gold medals with USA, Green looked like the future of the shooting guard position. Green shattered the traditional NCAA route by becoming the inaugural face of the NBA G League Ignite program. Earning a reported $500,000 as a teenager to play against grown professionals, he was under a massive microscope to prove that skipping college wouldn't stall his development.

Drafted second overall to the Rockets in 2021, he instantly became the focal point of Houston's rebuild. By his second season, Green was averaging 22.1 points a night. However, bouts of inconsistency, particularly in the playoffs, drew widespread criticism. Immediately after signing a contract extension, he was traded in a package to the Suns for Kevin Durant, where he played just 32 games to injury last season. Has he lived up to the hype? Somewhat. If the hype was "athletic NBA scorer who secured a massive payday", then yes. But he hasn't developed into the perennial All-NBA superstar many envisioned when he was dominating high school hoops.

6. Walker Kessler (C)

Photo: Kelsey Grant-Getty

Walker Kessler was the best center in high school and it wasn't close. The 7'2" paint beast put up 17 points, 9 boards and 5 blocks per game in his senior season at Woodward.  At 7'1", his combination of elite rim protection, rebounding, and a surprisingly soft shooting touch made him a prized recruit for traditional blue-blood programs. Unfortunately for Kessler, his freshman campaign at UNC was a doozy. He averaged just 4 points a night and came off the bench buried behind the likes of Day'Ron Sharpe, Armando Bacot and more—showcasing the downside of when multiple All-American buddies decide to suit up for the same program.

Everything changed when he transferred to Auburn. Kessler exploded into a defensive monster, averaging 11.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, and a staggering 4.6 blocks per game. He set the single-season school record for blocks, recorded two triple-doubles (with blocks), and won both the SEC Defensive Player of the Year and the Naismith National Defensive Player of the Year awards. Fast forward to now? Kessler is one of the best shot blockers in the game still, and signed a major $130 million deal to the Los Angeles Lakers.

7. Caleb Love (G)

Photo: Aaron Fentress-OregonLive

Caleb Love was a nightmare at Christian Brothers College, averaging 26.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.6 steals per game while leading the Cadets to the Missouri Class 5 Final Four. He became just the second player in school history to earn McDonald's All-American honors, joining Larry Hughes 23 years later. Love ultimately committed to North Carolina to play alongside fellow All-Americans R.J. Davis and Day'Ron Sharpe. Unfortunately for the Tar Heels, Love's efficiency was non-existent, averaging 10.5 points on 31% from the field. Love put in the work and by his sophomore season carried the Tar Heels to the national championship game of the March Madness tourney, where also he put up 28 points in the in the Final Four game that ended Mike Krzyzewski's career at Duke.

Although the Tar Heels ultimately fell to Kansas in the title game, Love had cemented himself as one of the sport's biggest clutch performers. After an up-and-down junior season, Love transferred to Arizona for the next two seasons, where he clinched First-team All-Big 12 honors. After going undrafted in the 2025 draft, Love signed with the Portland Trail Blazers, where had a fantastic rookie campaign, and could've made an All-Rookie team if his availability had been higher. He's expected to make an impact for the 76ers next season.

8. Evan Mobley (C)

Photo: Jason Miller-Getty

A Defensive Player of the Year, multi-talented defender and coach’s dream, Evan Mobley has quickly skyrocketed into one of the NBA’s premier two-way big men. Before reaching that stage, Mobley was terrorizing opponents at Rancho Christian School. As a senior, the seven-footer averaged 20.5 points, 12.2 rebounds, 5.2 blocks and 4.6 assists, finishomg his high school career as the nation’s top-ranked recruit, a two-time California Gatorade Player of the Year and the 2020 Morgan Wootten National Player of the Year. Mobley committed to USC, becoming the highest-ranked recruit in program history, and immediately transformed the Trojans into a national contender. He averaged 16.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.9 blocks while leading USC to the Elite Eight, becoming the first player in Pac-12 history to win Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year during the same season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers subsequently selected him third overall in the 2021 NBA Draft.

His transition to the NBA was nearly seamless. Mobley narrowly finishing second to Scottie Barnes in one of the closest Rookie of the Year races in recent memory. By his second season, he had already earned First-Team All-Defensive honors and established himself as one of the rare defenders capable of protecting the rim, switching onto guards and surviving against virtually every offensive archetype. Although his jumper remains the clearest area for improvement, Mobley's length, intelligence and versatility allow Cleveland to build an entire defensive system around him. Did he live up to the hype? Without question.

9. Daishen Nix (G)

Photo: Gary Dennis-ImagnImages

Daishen Nix is one of the more underrated names on this list. The kid was a mixtape phenom at the high school level, taking Trinity International to the promised land and leading the program to back-to-back championships. Nix committed to UCLA amid an elite wave of offers, but ultimately changed course and joined fellow five-star prospect Jalen Green on the inaugural G League Ignite roster. Unlike Green, however, Nix struggled to distinguish himself against pro comp. He averaged just 8.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists before going undrafted in 2021. The Philadelphia 76ers picked him up for Summer League, and Nix eventually earned a contract with the Houston Rockets—reuniting with Green yet again. Unfortunately, Nix averaged only four points and two assists during his most prominent NBA season, shooting 34.2 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from three.

Despite possessing tremendous size for a point guard, he struggled to finish efficiently, committed too many turnovers and never became enough of a shooting threat to compensate for his offensive limitations. Houston waived him after two seasons and 81 appearances. Nix subsequently earned consecutive two-way contracts with Minnesota, but spent most of his time in the G League rather than cracking the Timberwolves’ rotation. Despite showing great promise in the G-League, he hasn't lived up to his high school reputation.

10. DJ Steward (G)

Photo: Fabio Patamia-Getty

DJ Steward is an interesting case. At 6'2" and strictly a shooting guard, he didn't possess the size to make much of an impact defensively. On the offensive end, however? Beware. “Danny Boy” quickly became the face of Chicago basketball, establishing himself as the centerpiece of Whitney Young’s program and its best prospect since Jahlil Okafor. The kid averaged 24 points on the EYBL circuit and ultimately signed on the dotted line with Duke. Unfortunately, Steward’s transition toward the professional ranks was not without its flaws. He played well during his lone season with the Blue Devils, averaging 13 points and earning ACC All-Freshman honors. Players have certainly been drafted after producing less. In Steward’s case, however, his lack of size, limited playmaking resume and decision to leave school after only one season proved costly. He went completely undrafted in 2021.

Instead of disappearing, Steward began grinding through the G League. He spent time with the Stockton Kings, Maine Celtics and more; during the 2023–24 season with Maine, he averaged 19.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists, earning a two-way contract with his hometown Chicago Bulls after an explosive Summer League showing. Chicago waived him before he could make his official NBA debut, and he's currently playing in Italy. He hasn't stepped on an NBA floor yet.

11. Jalen Suggs (G)

Photo: Michael Conroy-AP

Some players struggle to find their identity in the NBA. Suggs? He leaned into his gift and became one of the most impactful defensive guards in the NBA. At Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis, Suggs wasn’t just a basketball prodigy—he was an athletic freak of nature. Arguably the greatest high school athlete in Minnesota history, Suggs became the first player ever to win the state's Mr. Basketball and Mr. Football awards in the same season as a senior quarterback and point guard. As a consensus five-star recruit, Suggs was praised for his football-like physicality, elite vision, and relentless competitive engine. Next to Chet Holmgren, Suggs made Minnehaha the most feared basketball program in the state.

At Gonzaga, he spearheaded an unforgettable, near-perfect Bulldogs season, averaging 14.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists along with an iconic half-court buzzer-beater to defeat UCLA in the Final Four. Suggs was drafted fourth overall to the Magic, where he immediately overtook Cole Anthony as the future of the team's backcourt. Suggs was named to the All-Defensive Team in 2024, and despite numerous injuries, continues to put his best foot forward.

12. Ziaire Williams (F)

Photo: Gregory Payan-AP

Ziaire Williams was a standout at Sierra Canyon, suiting up next to the likes of Bronny James, Zaire Wade, Amari Bailey, BJ Boston and more. Dubbed the No. 1 small forward in the nation, Williams committed to Stanford with expectations of becoming the program’s next one-and-done lottery pick. Unfortunately, his lone college season was anything but smooth. Playing through a pandemic-disrupted campaign, Williams averaged just 10.7 points while shooting 37.4 percent from the field and 29.1 percent from three. NBA scouts remained enamored with his frame, and Williams was selected 10th overall in the 2021 NBA Draft and landed with Memphis, where he immediately earned meaningful minutes for one of the Western Conference’s best young teams. As a rookie, he averaged 8.1 points, started 31 games and appeared in 10 playoff contests.

For a moment, it appeared Memphis had found another versatile wing to complement Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson. Unfortunately, injuries, inconsistent shooting and a crowded Grizzlies rotation repeatedly disrupted Williams’ progress. After three seasons, Memphis sent Ziaire to Brooklyn, where he's seemingly plateaued on one of the frequently lowest rated teams in the league. Ranked the number one wing in his entire class, it's safe to say he did not quite live up to expectations.
