The Triple Crown NIT once again delivered in a way only it knows how to. vballrecruiter.com spent this past weekend in Kansas City covering as much of the action as we could possibly get to and confidently put together our own All-Tournament selections. The picks below came from what we witnessed over the three days in the 12-17s divisions. With the endless amount of talent present in each division, settling on the final selections was a gut-wrenching task. Countless players deserve recognition and credit for their time at Triple Crown well beyond the 17 in each division mentioned below.
