As a fan of all state teams, I like this list better than any I have seen to date. Not because of the kids on the list but because it is old school and lists five kids for each team and that is the way I feel it should be. Now days you have ten guys on a first team list, some 15 guys.

 

In the NBA their first team is five players and that is how I feel should be, the best of the best.

Kunkel should be on this team for sure.

I agree. That kid is a force of nature.

Kunk has enormous basketball abilities....but IMO what makes that kid special is he is a competitor. Any stage, any time of the day, anybody,.....pack a lunch, it's gonna be a long day.
