Wow, living in Vegas and then going to DC really opened this topic up to me. I didn't really realize how many players come from DC (the whole area) until I lived there. I will not remember all the names but here goes.

Richard Jefferson - New Jersey Nets
Nolan Smith - Duke
Henderson - Duke
Ty Lawson - UNC
Marcus Ginyard - UNC
Scottie Reynolds - Villanova
Cunningham - Villanova
Roy Hibbart - Georgetown
Austin Freeman - Georgetown
Dejuan Summers - Georgetown
Chris Wright - Georgetown
Donte Greene - Syracuse
Sosa - Louisville
Jerai Grant (Harvey Grant's son) - Clemson
Mamade Diane - Virginia
Italy Lucas - UNC (women)
Sam Young - Pittsburgh
Michael Beasley - Kansas State
Kevin Durant - Supersonics (I did his last high school game and another time I told him he should do some pushups...he didn't listen)
Greivas Vasquez - Maryland
Jeff Green - Supersonics
Hank Thorns (Little Hen Hen) - Virginia Tech
Jeff Allen - Virginia Tech
Mitch Platt - Oregon
Marcus Banks - Phoenix Suns
Josh McRoberts - Portland Trailblazers
Both Jordan kids - not very good IMO

I'm tired of thinking about this. I've been around the block a time or two!

Dominic James - Marquette - I have a story to tell about this one. A few years ago I was fortunate enough to call some games at the ACC invitational camp in Indianapolis. I'm from Richmond IN, which is about an hour away so I went to visit before camp. My cousin tells me about our second cousin who plays for the high school team. He told me he (the player) would be at the camp in Indianapolis. Well, I looked for him, didn't find him and just figured my cousin was full of it. While I was at the camp, I talked to this one player during the game because his team was getting out of control and he seemed like their leader - he was about 5'8" but had some tremendous hops and could flat-out play. I get home and decide to look on the Internet to see what Dominic James looks like. Come to find out, he was the player I talked to. I had no idea who he was at the time and I'm sure he didn't know who I was.
