I watched a good part of thee game, and like most high school all star games, there was very little defense and mile a minute offense. Both Hairston and Thornton played in the game.
My impressions of Hairston were very positive, Ge is very fluid with his movements, has a nice mid range shot, rebounds and can score under the basket. This kid is at least 6'8" and may be a little taller. I would guess around 220. This kid will be able to contribute right away.
Thornton on the other hand played a helter skelter game and seemed to be moving too fast and as a result was making poor decisions with the ball. He will need to learn right away to value the ball. His shooting also was unimpressive. He does look quick and is a very good athlete. Lot of material to work with there, but needs seasoning.
