— -- The rosters for the 37th annual McDonald's All American Game, scheduled for April 2 in Chicago, were announced Wednesday night on ESPNU.

The game will be headlined by the individual matchup between two of the best big men in the country, both of whom call Chicago home, as Jahlil Okafor leads the West and Cliff Alexander headlines the East.

The nation's top two point guards, Tyus Jones and Emmanuel Mudiay, also will be split up, as Jones will join Alexander with the East team and Mudiay will team with Okafor on the West squad.

Also joining Okafor on the West team will be his future Duke teammate Grayson Allen, along with two of the most explosive wing scorers in the country in future Kansas swingman Kelly Oubre and Arizona's incoming five-star prospect Stanley Johnson. Future Kentucky big man Trey Lyles also will suit up with the West.

Joining Alexander and Jones in the East will be the nation's second-ranked prospect, Myles Turner, along with a future Kentucky forward of their own in Karl Towns Jr. The East isn't without plenty of firepower on the wing, either, as a pair of future Tar Heels, Justin Jackson and Theo Pinson, will headline that portion of the lineup.

Justise Winslow also will suit up for the East while Tyler Ulis and Devin Booker will play for the West, giving both Duke and Kentucky four incoming prospects in the field of 24 players. North Carolina is next, with Joel Berry joining Jackson and Pinson.
