Chicago Hoops: Jahlil Okafor, Paul White, Cliff Alexander, Tyler Ulis

July 21, 2018
Chicago's 2014 basketball class features multiple elite prospects: Jahlil Okafor and Paul White at Whitney Young, Cliff Alexander at Curie, and Tyler Ulis at Marian Catholic.

Chicago continues its tradition of producing elite basketball talent with the 2014 class. Jahlil Okafor leads the group—the Whitney Young center ranks as the nation's top overall prospect with his combination of size, footwork, and scoring touch.

His teammate Paul White brings versatility as a skilled forward. Across town, Cliff Alexander at Curie High School provides athletic power forward production, while Tyler Ulis proves height isn't everything as a 5-foot-9 floor general at Marian Catholic. Together, they represent the depth of Chicago basketball and the city's continued pipeline to elite college programs.
