Meet the nominees for 2023-24 All-USA TODAY HSSA Boys Basketball Player of the Year!
The USA TODAY High School Sports Awards is pleased to announce the 2023-24 All-USA TODAY HSSA Boys Basketball Team!
These 25 All-USA Team members will be honored as nominees for national Boys Basketball Player of the Year. The winner will be revealed in August during an on-demand broadcast that will feature top athletes in 35 boys and girls sports awards categories — as well as special honors like Special Olympics Athlete of the Year, Play of the Year, Team of the Year and more!
Athletes were considered based on season-wide performance — with an emphasis on state playoffs and championships — and any other state, regional and/or national recognition. Team performance, including the USA TODAY Super 25, was also considered. Athletes who played less than half of their team’s season schedule, or whose team does not compete in a state-sanctioned league with a tournament championship, were not considered this year. Visit the event website for more information on this year’s fourth annual event.
