- The Holiday Invitational is held each year at Raleigh, NC’s Broughton High School and every year it seems to get crazier and crazier. This year’s event hosted elite talent like consensus Top 10 Juniors Harry Giles, Thon Maker, Dennis Smith Jr, and Top 15 Senior Brandon Ingram. The final day featured big showings from 7’ 5’’ UCF commit Tacko Fall finishing with 44 points and tying the Total Rebound record, a 25-year record held by Shawn Bradley. UNC-G commit Demetrius Troy also broke the tournament record for 3 pointers made (10) while finishing with 49 points. The Championship game of the John Wall National Bracket featured a match up between arguably the two best prospects in the country, Thon Maker & Harry Giles. Other players to make some noise this year were local juniors Quentin Jackson Jr. (Carlisle), Jalen Harris (Word of God), and Dashuan Smith (Garner.) Check out all the highlights, all the excitement, and everyone that came to out to watch. To find out more information on the event visit HighSchoolOT.com.

This had to of been the most lit invitational EVER
gooch killer facts
This or the ones when John wall we’re here
By far this used to be my shit bro 😭😭
It's crazy how most of them in the NBA now
Yea only good only good one Is Jamal Murray hes basically an all star everyone else are either out of the league or back up players
@@jacobwheeler2462 Ingram?
@@jacobwheeler2462 Ingram is a star
@@jacobwheeler2462 Ingram is an all star, Murray like u said, Dennis Smith plays for the Charlotte Hornets (from nc), Thon Maker went crazy for the Bucks before they found Giannis…Harry Giles plays for the Kings behind Bagley, and I think 2 of the other guys are in the G league. Point is, this tournament had a lot of NBA talent even if a lot of them peaked quickly…but think about it? Maker & Smith Jr. We’re the 2 highest rated at the time of this tournament and both were given up on for…generation talents…Giannis…Luka Doncic. Crazy thing is…these talents came from EUROPE not the US and proved to be on a different level than an American prospect. Victor Wemby #1 pick this year is from Europe…it’s not happening. It’s already happened.
DAMN. I could feel the crowds energy through my computer screen
What happens when you watch porn?
Me to!
simon lamarre get a women please sir
Geriafrican I was there it was insane. Kwe Parker was the crowd favorite for sure, and Harry Giles, hope they go to Wake Forest together. Can't wait for HSOT invitation 2015 in December!
Alex Roth Danny could use a player like Giles. Seems like he could possibly be another Danny. Kansas is also in the running for both these guys.
It's crazy how Chris clemons is averaging more ppg in the nba than both harry Giles and thon maker
Who knew Chris Clemons was gonna be the 2nd leading SCORER in NCAA HISTORY
7 years later and this still the most hype BallisLife video
That spin move dunk from thon was crazy
3:08 the crowd 🔥🔥
Been injured now for awhile not able to hoop, watching this mixtape gets me hyped everytime on god
Thon Maker looks like a black Mahjin Buu
3 years later and I still watch this
Damn.. this invitational was like a NBA draft showcase.
hands down the best one they've ever made
Yo Tacko got his opponents looking salty lmfaoooo
word lmfaooooo
This was the best John Wall tournament I’ve been to and I’ve been to a lot
Crazy how chris clemons in the league now
Such a sick video
The dudes face at 1:27 has me dying
I went to this all three days, Harry Giles was my favorite. But Dennis Smith jr looked like john wall at the same tourney 5 years ago.
Watching the maker brothers were like watching created players on 2k.
I hope all these players play in it next year
2017 draft is going to be sick! so many big men
Thon might reclassify to go to college this fall. I have seen some reports suggesting that he's going to do just that.
All these guys are class 15' and 16' tho?
If you are class of 16 that means you will be draft eligible in 2017 bruh
Gary Thorton 😂
KD+KG=18YR OLD THON MAKER DUDE IS GOING TO BE A BEAST IN THE NBA!!!!!!
That beat so 🔥
I have no doubt in my mind that Thon Maker will go first round in the NBA Draft. This kid has game. He's got a great stroke from the three, great mid range, bully's kids in the post, and he's 7'0. This kid is the next big thing.
Thon Maker man..sheesh! Good to see he has some swagger now! Harry Giles is an absolute beast too!
1:27 this kid is like "I'm boutta shoot up this gym if he dunks one more time"
lmao, that's how i would feel if i had to guard him
knowing thon maker being a grown ass man makes this so funny to watch now 😭😂
1:27 that face just like "its so unfair"
Hahah
Chris Clemons was one of the most underrated guards in the class of '15 and had by far the most lit clips in this video
The best tournament of all time
Bro Thon Maker was literally 22 in this video
well damn. who ISN'T from North Carolina?!?!?! lol
Hoopstate
The best mixtape this year in my opinion
Thon Money Maker that nigga gonna be cashin out in the league my goodness
still the hardest mix of all time
1:55 he head butted the defender in the chest
Video was well put together!!
Lmfaooooooooooo 1:27 his face says it all
Harry Giles reminds me of KG
I think teams are going to regret not drafting Thon early.
enter the Bucks lol.. 10 may not be considered "early" but much higher than projection
same
considering he only had 16 points against Dennis smith team I think teams will be fine
+zak bryant Dennis's team had Bam tho he'll prolly get picked higher than Dennis
+lebron james Bam was not on his school team and this was a tournament for schools
Can't believe I was there for this, almost 2 years ago
Damn, these boys got game
Nc players are the best players
Nah they just own the rich ass high school gym. Every team that had prospects was from out of state. Broughton the school from NC wasn't even in these highlights.
Love when they did these mixtapes for all the best players in the tournament
This is the best and most lit invitational eveeeeer
3:47 Jerome Robinson of the LA Clippers
3:08 oh my goodness.
That throw down at 3:10... Atentekounmpo-esque
2017 will be such a packed draft
Thon Maker is kinda scary looking tbh
Great video man the production was crazy.
HoopState was different🔥
the maker bros are cold at basketball
Thon maker all day boyy, man he got game!
Bless these kids....
All extremely talented kids tacko recently started playing basketball and he body is gonna develop over the years just need to work hard
@3:14 who's the kid in the red? I like how long and agile he is. A big guy with speed and handles like that is something special.
Why did jaylen try dunking on tacko😭
right😂😂
... was that urkle at the end??????
This was too hype!
This mixtape was raw!!
Damn with these big ass guys with handles like that... youll see a 7 foot PG in the nba within like five years.
Can't imagine 9 years later, harry giles signed for Lakers.
Funny thing is they might both be in Milwaukee next season.
What's the point of making Tacko Fall look good. Its just height and im sorry to even admit that. :I
rljuice true tho
0
The fact that he is that tall, is more of a abnormalty, its very diffucult to be as active and athletic, as his bones are really slender and being that tall, he will suffer from pain in the knees etc, let the guy live.
If he's 7'5 and has a perfect GPA, best believe he'll be successful.
+Edward Vasquez but he is playing against minor competition that dosent play as physical if goes to the nba he would get man handled
personally I think thon will overall fit in the NBA because he has so much athleticism he is like a guard and fast but Giles will do good but with two torn acl in the same leg I hope he is not injury prone but there is some signs of it
Wasn’t same leg . Tore both ave . One was scoped .
This got me so hype
thon maker has a brother that's legit too? damn
Yup...I am praying he goes to G-Town!
yea i see dennis smith and some guards out there but Thon Maker?? dude on a different level
nah, his potential is on a different level, he's not on a different level yet, he got outplayed by harry giles in that game.
GREATEST TOURNAMENT EVER
Mix is🔥
Still my favourite mix
20 secs in whoever dennis smith he will be a future allstar -3/18/2016
westbrook jr
Dennis Smith Jr was the best to me
Brandon Ingram looks identical to Anthony Davis when he was in high school, minus the unibrow.
What a year this was
2014
Thanks
thon maker like a young KG
Clemons is a young Chris Paul
Can Giles defend 1 on 1? These videos don't show it.
Chris Clemson looked like he was carrying his team and he is only 6' thats crazy
goosebumps
How could you dislike this video?
Lee Parker and Harry Giles are my favorite highschool duo.
I meant Kwe Parker
SO who is better, Thon or Harry Giles?
Did Roy Hibbert return to the Holiday Invitational?
That shit gave me chills
Hoopstate
great talent... Thon Maker was the most impressive to me. Dennis Scott is runner up
Smith...
I didn't know Dennis Scott was in HS again
Jared Banks
D.Smith I believe is class of' '16'
KeepItReal ISRAEL Dennis Scott is a 48 year-old who works for NBA TV. Dennis Smith is a HS junior. Now it's up to you to figure out what's wrong here.
Giles is gonna be good
I wish i was there
where is Demetruis Troy
Damn I want to go to a wesleyan game haha
Lol been sleeping on Harry Giles becuz his name sounded white, and I didn't want to see another slow, athletic, midrange white bigman. But boy wuz I wrong
Moses C. Not really racist but elleson,TJ Leaf, and Zimmerman play EXACTLY alike. Slow, athletic, midrange, bigmen it wasnt racist Im just tired of seeing the same exact player over and over again
Damn...people are crazy when they talk about anything falling off...
Who's better Thon Maker or Harry Giles?
NBA Off The Court 😐
Wow most of em are NBA now
Giles and Maker at the 3 and 4 for my Heels.
sike
Good jobs guy chould go to the dunk contest nba
Thon Maker is the best high school player in the country, regardless of class! Giles is great but I would definitely put Maker over him and Josh Jackson would go over him too!
Oh how times have changed
Lol 7 years ago now Ingram the best in the class and Giles and Makur have faded from popularity.
Was that Jody Breeze?
At the beginning that was Barber who played at North Carolina State
