As the results of the&nbsp;final <em>Mr. Basketball USA Tracker powered by Ballislife.com<\/em>&nbsp;indicate, there is no debate at the top of the list when it comes to individual player honors for the 2016-17 season.&nbsp;<em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Even after&nbsp;production at major holiday tournaments, showcases and various state playoff tournaments around the country changed positioning among candidates, the front-runner for national player of the year never did as the season wore on. <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/?s=Michael+Porter+Jr.\">Michael Porter Jr.<\/a>, a highly-skilled 6-foot-9 forward who led Nathan Hale to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/fab-50\/salute-to-all-time-fab-50-no-1s\/\">FAB 50 national title<\/a>, was the No. 1 vote-getter on every single ballot in the final voting, just as he consistently was on each ballot throughout the season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qF7IvmhBTuI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Porter joins 2014-15 Mr. Basketball USA <strong>Ben Simmons<\/strong> of Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.) as the only two players in the 10-year history of the Mr. Basketball USA Tracker to earn a perfect score of 100 points on any single ballot. Similar to Simmons, Porter went wire-to-wire as the top vote-getter with 100 points in each round of voting results. He finished the season averaging 37.6 ppg, 14.5 rpg and 5.2 apg for a 29-0 club and answered the bell every time the Raiders needed big plays in their big games.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Porter didn't play in the&nbsp;<em>Jordan Brand Classic<\/em>&nbsp;while nursing a back injury, it didn't matter as the strength of his candidacy was already sealed. He tied Kentucky-bound <strong>Jarred Vanderbilt<\/strong> with a team high 19 points for the USA Junior National Select team in its 98-87 victory at the<em> Nike Hoop Summit.&nbsp;<\/em>He was also named team MVP of the <em>McDonald's All-American Game<\/em> with 17 points and eight rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>\"Let's make no mistake about it, Michael Porter earned the top spot the old fashioned way...he just flat out outplayed the competition&nbsp;head to head,\" said panel member <strong>Van Coleman<\/strong> of&nbsp;<em>TheBasketballChannel.net<\/em>. \"At Nike, Pangos, and national high school events with Nathan Hale this past season he dominated individually and led his Mokan Elite squad to the EYBL title and Nathan Hale to mythical high school national title.\"<\/p>\n<p>The other candidates to appear on all ten ballots were undecided point guard <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/mr-basketball-usa-tracker-trevon-duval-zion-williamson-make-moves\/\">Trevon Duval<\/a> of IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) and Arizona-bound center <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/deandre-ayton-eybl\/\">DeAndre Ayton<\/a> of Hillcrest Academy (Phoenix, Ariz.). Duval was a bit more of a consistent candidate than Ayton during the season, but Ayton closed strong and the 10-man panel rewarded the nation's most highly-acclaimed big man. He gained a point after appearing on nine ballots on the previous tracker and tallied the most second-place votes with five (an increase of two). He also had two third-place votes, while Duval tallied one third-place vote and one fourth-place vote. If not for two panel members who were lukewarm on Ayton's candidacy (he was in seventh place and the final player selected on those two ballots), the gap between Porter and the rest of the candidates wouldn't seem so large.<\/p>\n<p>Although Ayton frustrated the panel at times because of his penchant for floating on the perimeter or because of a perceived lack of aggression, he deserves credit for being one of the very best players in high school basketball for three seasons. Not too many players over the years can legitimately make that claim. Last season, he finished in fourth place with 58 points and other than the two front-runners for the honor (eventually winner <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/?s=Lonzo+Ball\">Lonzo Ball<\/a> and runner-up <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/?s=josh+jackson+\">Josh Jackson<\/a>) Ayton was the only candidate to tally moe than one second-place vote. In the final 2014-15 tracker as a sophomore, Ayton had two second-place votes behind Simmons and appeared on six ballots.<\/p>\n<p>For the 2016-17 season, Alton averaged 26.0 ppg, 15.0 rpg and 3.5 bpg and had eight points and 11 rebounds in the McDonald's All-American Game. He was one of the top performers at the Jordan Brand Classic, with 19 points and eight rebounds in 18 minutes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;
