Marcus Jordan

Position 2G Height 6-3 Weight School Whitney Young High School Hometown Chicago, Illinois Incoming Year 2009

Initially posted by mollautt on 05/22/08 at 7:30 pm

2009 Prospect: Marcus Jordan is the son of Michael Jordan.  He is the high school teammate at Chicago Whitney Young of Chris Colvin (who has been offered by Miami).  This is the same high school that produced Miami's Dwight McCombs.  Hoops Report ranks Marcus Jordan #70 nationally in the Class of 2009.  Chicago Hoops ranked him #20 in the 2009 Illinois class. 

This year's Windy City Classic held at the University of Illinois-Chicago's Physical Education Center featured a bevy of talented teams in three divisions--17-under, 16-under and 15-under. Most of our time was spent watching the 17-under division, and when the dust cleared the Rising Stars Gold defeated a shorthanded Mac Irvin Fire squad in the championship game.

We thought that the Rising Stars Gold's best player throughout the course of the tournament was 6'2 Marcus Jordan from Whitney Young High School in Chicago. There is no question that Jordan continues to get a bum rap from several other evaluators, but on more than one occassion this spring Jordan has shown that he is clearly the Rising Stars Gold's leader. This was evident yet again this past weekend, as Jordan simply overpowered opponents, got to the basket at will and did all the little things that often go unnoticed such as coming up with a big steal or dishing out a key assist.
