Actually, there was two big stars and they both happened to be on the Raymond Lewis Squad. In a preview of things to come, in the lobby of the host hotel one of the players on the Marques Johnson Squad said to nobody in particular, \"They have Aaron and Julius?\"<\/p>\n<p>He was speaking, of course, about forwards <strong>Aaron Gordon<\/strong> of Mitty (San Jose Calif.) and <strong>Julius Randle<\/strong> of Prestonwood Christian Academy (Plano, Texas), as the powerful duo was too much to handle inside for the Marques Johnson club. Gordon and Randle combined for 52 points in Ray Lew's 164-138 victory and between the two there was only seven missed shots from the field.<\/p>\n<p>Randle (27 points) made 13-of-14 shots from the field, while Gordon converted 12-of-18 and also grabbed seven rebounds. Most of the shots were from close range, including Gordon's pass off the backboard to himself that brought the house down and left little doubt as to which team would leave the boardwalk with the win.<\/p>\n<p>Trailing 75-65 at halftime, the Marques Johnson Squad kept things close behind the play of forward <strong>Justise Winslow<\/strong> of St. John's (Houston) and wing <strong>Jabari Bird<\/strong> of Salesian (Richmond, Calif.). Bird finished with 20 points while Winslow made 10-of-11 shots from the field and scored a team-high 21 points.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Gordon and Randle (who also won the Under Armour Slam Dunk contest), Winslow earned one of the four game MVP awards along with another Texas player, guard <strong>Aaron Harrison<\/strong> of Travis (Richmond, Texas). He made 11-of-14 shots en route to 25 points and, as you can guess, he also played for the Ray Lew club.<\/p>\n<p>Former Elite 24 game MVP <strong>Brandon Jennings<\/strong> coached the Raymond Lewis Squad while 2012 NBA Rookie of the Year <strong>Kyrie Irving<\/strong> coached Marques Johnson. <strong>Will Barton<\/strong>, <strong>DeAndre Jordan<\/strong> and <strong>Derrick Williams<\/strong>&nbsp;assisted Irving, but they probably needed to play for Irving for his club to have a realistic shot at winning.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5KlUvZNjje4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dsz7vodgjx60a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/E24-2012.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2012 Elite 24 Box Score<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first nine years of the Under Armour Elite 24, four at Rucker Park three at Venice Beach,&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":109050,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8316,8684,8320,38,46250,247],"tags":[1363,30,6083],"featured":[],"class_list":["post-108526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-uaelite24","category-grassroots-coverage","category-high-school","category-news","category-hs-west","tag-elite-24","tag-elite24","tag-under-armour-elite-24"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
