1. Scottie Lewis- (Team Rio) (Florida): Lewis jumped unto the Spotlight scene as a 7th Grader and became an instant star. The box office attraction above the rim prowess and effectiveness on the other end of the floor had the high school AAU directors coming out in droves. He was definitely worth the price of admissions.
