The film follows 8 of the top high school basketball players in the US at the time of filming, in 2006. The plot centers around the first annual Boost Mobile Elite 24 Hoops Classic at the legendary Rucker Park in Harlem.
By 2009, six of the eight players had joined NBA teams. None of them got the number 1 spot.
By 2011, all eight players were on NBA teams, with Kyle Singler being the last one drafted and the only one to win an NCAA Championship, which he won while playing for Duke University in 2010.
As of March 2024, only Kevin Love is still playing professional basketball in the NBA.
