Most of the players who end up playing Division I basketball were the best player on their high school team.

Very true that they were without a doubt the best player on the team, but there is often a big difference the sports programs at small districts as opposed to the larger districts. Nothing like small town politics when winning or losing is the issue. Often a winning sports program is all the town can point to for community pride.
