#29 Carver Military Academy (Chicago, Illinois) – 7 players
Currently operating as a military academy, Carvery was previously named “George Washington Carver Area High School” during its traditional high school period.
Carver Military Academy
Prior to the change, Carver was a gateway to the NBA All-Stars for many students in the Chicago South Side, producing players like Cazzie Russell who was the top pick in the draft of 1966, and the Rookie of the Year, Terry Cummings, in 1983, as well as Tim Hardaway, who was a finalist in the Hall of Fame.
These three stars united across 9 All-Star teams and together, perform in forty-three NBA seasons. Since transforming into a military academy back in 2000, Carver has yet to release any NBA ballers.

#30 Compton High School (Compton, California) – 7 players
Beyond the city of Los Angeles, the city of Compton has pumped out a higher number of NBA stars inside Los Angeles County than any other city. The majority of whom have emerged from Compton High School, DeMar DeRozan being one of them, making the most out of his four years at the school.
Compton High School
Both the city and the school experienced radical demographic changes in the past 20 or so years, and Compton High is currently recognized more for its performing arts programs than its sporting ones. Compton High has formed thirty NFL or NBA stars, yet Datone and DeRozan Jones being the only two to leave the school since the year 2000.
