Garnett does not count. He only played one season here.

Obviously it is impossible to judge entire careers. So yeah I just am asking purely on high school days

Of the players who went to the NBA, I'd say Isiah (for now).

Michael Finley is my personal favorite though. Obviously...

Not sure if he was the best individual player but I attended this state tourney in Champaign
and that team was incredible. Two 7 footers on a high school team and the other players
around them were pretty good too.

If Quinn Buckner doesn't qualify, then I'd say Cazzie Russell then Aguirre.

Jamie Brandon was pretty damn good but I'd put Marcus Liberty above him.

Buckner was a great player and definitely in the conversation, but that team was just awesome all the way around. They might have won without him.

I'd still say Teddy Grubbs was the best player ever at King.

Ronnie Fields was a monster back in the day. Never seen any HS player dunk like him
