Few basketball teams in state history have had a run of success like West High has enjoyed over the past decade.

West High has reached the state tournament each of the past nine seasons, reaching the Class 4A title game six times since 2011 and winning four titles.

Given the success West High has had over the last decade it makes sense the Your Prep Sports area all-decade boys basketball team is filled with former (and even current) Trojans.

The Your Prep Sports series of all-decade teams continues with a list of 15 of the top boys basketball players to compete on the hardwood from 2010 to 2019.
