Last night, Big Blue Nation got to see three future Wildcats play in the McDonald's All-American Game, and all three of them had a good showing.

Boogie Fland, Jayden Quaintance, and Karter Knox were the three Wildcats who played in the McDonald's All-American Game.

The star of the show was Fland, who scored 17 points on 6-14 from the field and 3-6 from deep to go with five rebounds and three assists. Fland had the best +/- on his team with a +13. He also hit the go-ahead basket which ended up being a game winner. Fland is a true bucket-getter and will be Kentucky's best offensive weapon in the 2024 class.

The young bull Quaintance performed well in the McDonald's All-American Game, showing off all of his upside. He had seven points on 3-4 shooting to go with seven rebounds and three assists. The best part about watching Quaintance is how well he rebounds the basketball. He is 16 years old and would have been the best rebounder on Kentucy's 2023-24 team. He is going to be a star during his time in Lexington.

Lastly, Knox also played well in the McDonald's All-American Game, scoring nine points on 4-6 shooting. He made his only three-point attempt and grabbed a rebound. Watching Knox play truly showed off just how much athleticism he possesses. He could develop into a really good scorer during his time in Lexington and has the making of an outstanding NBA player, especially if he can continue to develop his jump shot.

While none of these three players started in the McDonald's All-American Game, they all had a great game, proving they are ready to put the SEC and college basketball world on notice.
