"Julius was obviously selected based on his ability to play basketball, but more importantly based on his character," said Chris Mayberry, Prestonwood head coach. "He has kept such a positive attitude dealing with the adversity of his injury and will continue to be selected for honors and awards because of his character."
The Nike Hoop Summit is one of the premier high school basketball showcases, pitting the country's top seniors against a World Select Team.
