It's no secret the state of Oregon is a premier destination in the West for high school hoops. Since being renamed in 2000, the Les Schwab Invitational has established itself as one of the top high school boy's basketball tournament of the year, bringing together some of the nation's most elite teams for four days at Liberty High School in Hillsboro, OR.

Maybe you're not from Oregon and maybe you've never heard of the Les Schwab Invitational, but we can guarantee you've heard of some of the event's alumni. Past participants include in-state stars such as Lake Oswego's Kevin Love and South Medford's Kyle Singler and NBA All-Stars Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant. And don't think the field has faltered one bit.

Players to watch:

2017 Flo40 #1 Michael Porter Jr.
6-foot-9 Forward
Nathan Hale High School (WA) -- Committed to University of Washington

Each year, the Les Schwab Invitational hosts elite teams and individual talent and 2016 is no exception. Michael Porter Jr. is the top-ranked player in the country and enters the LSI averaging over 35 points and 20 rebounds per game. Porter Jr. is an elite scorer with the ability to play above the rim, shoot threes at a good percentage and is the most dominant high school player in recent memory from the elbow/pinch post. Look for Nathan Hale head coach Brandon Roy (yes -- that Brandon Roy) to let Porter Jr. operate in space and run pro-style sets, allowing him to get quick duck-ins or isolation opportunities. Porter Jr., a projected top five pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, just recently moved to Seattle and enrolled at Nathan Hale after his father accepted an assistant coaching position at the University of Washington.

2018 Flo40 #1 Marvin Bagley III
6-10 Forward
Sierra Canyon High School (CA) -- Undecided

Bagley III leads Sierra Canyon and will put on a show at the LSI. Opponents will have their hands full keeping Bagley off the glass and off of the rim, who is a monster in transition and in the half court. Bagley sat out all of his sophomore season after transferring to Sierra Canyon and is eager to show the country he is hungry and poised for the national spotlight. Bagley's recruiting is down to six schools -- including the University of Oregon -- so look for Dana Altman and staff to make their presence felt at the LSI.

2017 Flo40 #40 Daejon "Jon Jon" Davis
6-4 Guard
Garfield High School (WA) -- University of Washington

Davis is an elite athlete who made his presence felt at the LSI last year with a number of above-the-rim finishes and blocks in transition. The University of Washington commit may be best suited to play point guard at the next level and has assumed primary ball-handling responsibilities for the first time in his prep career this season for the Bulldogs. Davis is a tremendous rebounder (18 rebounds in the first round of last year's LSI), can defend either guard position, and does a great job playing the passing lanes.

Jaylen Nowell
6-4 Guard
Garfield High School (WA) -- University of Washington

Nowell is one of the top shot-makers in the 2017 class. He plays at his own pace and is smooth coming off of ball screens, pin downs, or in dribble handoffs. An elite mid-range shooter, Nowell's game is much more polished than most high school players. Nowell was a member of the United States' U-16 gold medal team at the FIBA Americas Championships in 2015. To reach his full potential Nowell will need to develop a consistent three-point shot and become an elite on-ball defender capable of defending both guard positions. Nowell is will join backcourt mate and friend Jon Jon Davis at the University of Washington next fall.

Chris Lykes
5-6 Guard
Gonzaga College High School (DC) -- University of Miami

Lykes is one of the most exciting players to watch in the country. The relentless 5-6 guard from Washington D.C., is a world-class athlete with a lightning-quick first step. A threat to win the Express Employment Professionals Dunk contest on Thursday afternoon, Lykes will likely become a fan favorite over the tournament's four days (similar to DeMond "Tweety" Carter in 2005).

2017 Flo40 #31 Cody Riley
6-9 Forward
Sierra Canyon High School (CA) -- UCLA

Riley will be a matchup problem for the majority of the teams in the LSI field. A wide-shouldered physical specimen at the prep level, Riley will punish interior defenders and use his size and strength to dominate the glass. The future UCLA Bruin will provide some awesome highlights throughout the LSI.
