Summary: PICTURE THIS: You have the perfect basketball team minus one player. You and your other three teammates get to choose who will be that fifth player to fill the roster. You see this fantastic player at tryouts and he’s got the height as well. Do you go for him? SURE! But, one member of the team disagrees....but he’s outnumbered.

This is exactly what happens in the book, Players. As the season goes on and little things start happening to players on the team, Corey, one of the stars, realizes that maybe their #1 pick isn’t #1 after all
