April 4, 2013
CHICAGO – Future Kansas guard Wayne Selden, Jr., scored 13 points in the McDonald’s All-American High School Basketball Game Wednesday evening at Chicago’s United Center.
Selden, 6-foot-5 from Roxbury, Mass., was the East team’s second-leading scorer going 5-for-7 from the field, 2-for-4 from three-point range, for 13 points with five rebounds and three assists in the East’s 110-99 loss to the West squad.
Selden is Kansas’ 33rd all-time player to be named a McDonald’s All-American. KU sophomore-to-be Perry Ellis was a McDonald’s All-American last year.
