High school basketball: States with most players on NBA second-round playoff rosters

Between the eight remaining teams, 10 players have California roots — more than any other state. Klay Thompson of Santa Margarita (Rancho Santa Margarita), James Harden of Artesia (Lakewood) and Aaron Gordon of Archbishop Mitty (San Jose) highlight the players from the Golden State.

Texas is second with nine players, including Jimmy Butler. The Tomball star averaged 37.6 points per game in Miami's first-round upset of the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks.



Montrose Christian (Rockville, Md.) and Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.) each have three players who finished their prep hoops career, tied for the most of any other program in the country. Kevin Durant, Terrence Ross and Ish Wainright hail from Montrose while R.J. Barrett, Moses Moody and D'Angelo Russell went to Montverde. Alabama — 2
