The Jordan Brand Classic All-American game tonight could almost be mistaken for a Kentucky Wildcats intrasquad game. Four Kentucky signees – guard Marquis Teague and forwards Michael Gilchrist, Anthony Davis and Kyle Wiltjer – are among the 22 players divided among East and West rosters. They come from a variety of locations: Teague is from Indianapolis; Davis is from Chicago; Wiltjer is from Portland, Ore.; and Gilchrist is from Elizabeth, N.J. But they’ll be old friends by the time they arrive in Lexington, Ky., together later this year.
