Check out this video from the Kobe Bryant Nike Skills Academy. Some of the top two guards in the country went out to Cali to get instruction from the Mr. MVP himself. Bryant was very hands on and took the time out to really chat with players about their personal development.

Ames High School, IA
Signed with North Carolina. Barnes combines a flawless and versatile offensive repertoire with an intensity on both ends that separates him from his peers.
Pine Crest High School, FL
You’d be hard pressed to find someone faster in the 2010 class and beyond. Knight seems to make the right plays every time and has an array of breakdown moves that create easy scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.
St. Patrick’s High School, NJ
A talented wing who can breakdown slower defenders on the wing and post up smaller defenders in the paint.
Northland High School, OH
Signed with Ohio State. Sullinger is a master at using his big frame to absorb contact and finish in traffic. He’s active, has great hands and a wide array of low post moves.
Winter Park High School, FL
Somewhat committed to Florida. Rivers’ quickness makes defenders want to back up, but his shooting ability makes them have to guard him close. Add in wicked passing skills and Rivers is the complete package.
St. Patrick High School, NJ
Signed with Duke. Quick, fast and skilled, Irving is a big time scoring point guard who also makes his teammates better with his exceptional court vision.
Lake Clifton-Eastern High School, MD
Need a bucket in a hurry… Selby’s your man. Draining the trey or finishing in the lane, Selby has a knack for putting up big numbers.
Garfield High School, WA
Big-time scorer who doubles as an underrated passer, Wroten fills up the stat sheet and plays with a confidence that translates into success. However, he could miss his entire junior season after injuring his knee playing football.
Pike High School, IN
Combines a quick first step with some of the best handles on the list to dominate opponents. Teague is a gifted scorer in a variety of different ways and involves teammates to balance his repertoire.
Word of God Academy, NC
Versatile enough to breakdown defenders on the wing and athletic enough to put them on a poster, Leslie may very well have the best high-wire act on the list.
Kinston High School, NC
Signed with North Carolina. Combines a sweet stroke with athleticism to fill up the stat sheet.
Kentwood High School, WA
Signed with UCLA. Big and strong, Smith overpowers defenders in the post and uses his wide frame to get into high percentage scoring position.
Norfolk Christian School, VA
Committed to North Carolina. Solid with his back to the basket, but better at finishing plays.
Half Hollow Hills High School, NY
Signed with Tennessee. Skilled and versatile forward who scores at will in the paint and drains the short jump shot effectively.
Findlay Prep, NV
Signed with Texas. Thompson defines the new age big forward, slim and versatile player who reaps the benefits of running the floor. Thompson is constantly active, which allows him to excel on the offensive and defensive glass.
