The Atlanta Tipoff Club announced Monday the four finalists for the 2012 Naismith High School Boy's Basketball Player of the Year. The four players happen to be the top four prospects in the ESPNU 100.
Nerlens Noel (Everett, Mass./The Tilton School), Shabazz Muhammad (Las Vegas/Bishop Gorman), Isaiah Austin (Arlington, Texas/Grace Prep) and Kyle Anderson (Fairview, N.J./St. Anthony) will vie for the prestigious award which will be announced on March 22 in Atlanta.
"Just as we've seen in the past, there are no runaway winners in any of the Naismith High School award categories this year - each player has a compelling basketball resume that makes them a solid choice for the award, and we anticipate the voting to come right down to the wire," said Eric Oberman, Executive Director of the Atlanta Tipoff Club. "Whoever wins the award will join a prestigious list of Naismith Trophy alumni."
