Rosters were announced Thursday for the Jordan Brand Classic Game, which will be held in Charlotte for the second straight year April 14. The game, hosted at Time Warner Cable Arena, will be shown live on ESPN.
The game brings together some of the nation's best high school players, including the top four players in ESPN's top 100: No.1 Shabazz Muhammad (Las Vegas, NV/Undecided), No. 2
Isaiah Austin (Arlington, TX/Baylor), No. 3 Kyle Anderson (Jersey City,

Two Carolinas players will play: Raleigh Upper Room's Rodney Purvis (N.C. State) and Edisto, S.C., High forward Brice Johnson (North Carolina)
The
Jordan Brand Classic event will also include a Regional Game,
showcasing the top prep players from the state of North Carolina and the fifth annual International Game featuring
16 of the top 17-and-under players from around the world. Two of the
top five picks in last year’s NBA Draft included International game
