Was every NBA Player a Superstar in High School?

[ndee]

So what do you guys think? I have never been in a high school so I can't comment on that. Was Fred Hoiberg or that Madsen guy from the Lakers IIRC a superstar in high school?

yeah, but that was his motivation I think and Dennis Rodman didn't play basketball til 18 or even older IIRC but that's not "normal".

If not superstars, they were at least pretty damn good. IIRC though, there have been a couple players who walked onto college teams and then made the NBA, so there's always exceptions
