Syracuse commit Oshae Brissett was named the best high school player in Canada during an awards ceremony during Monday night's BioSteel All-Canadian Basketball Game.

Billed as the Canadian counterpart of the McDonald's All-American game or Jordan Brand Classic, the event claims to be a competition between the 24 best players who are Canadian or currently playing in Canada. Brissett was presented with the award before the game.

The winner of the award last year was Thon Maker, who declared for the NBA Draft without attending college.

According to the Twitter account of Canadian Ballers, which bills itself as a scouting service, Brissett finished with 20 points on 8-for-11 shooting and grabbed six rebounds.

Brissett played for Athlete Institute in Ontario this past season. His high school teammate and fellow Syracuse commit, Howard Washington, also played in the BioSteel game.
