As is another of our traditions, we present our expanded, final Top 40 overall boys basketball team rankings, this time covering the 2017-18 season. With Sheldon losing in the CIF State Open final, we adjust some open division teams with L.A. Westchester and Santa Ana Mater Dei getting upward bumps. Find out where D2 champ Crossroads of Santa Monica lands and if D3 champ Pleasant Valley of Chico made the cut. Only one team in our final Top 20 wasn’t in our preseason Top 40 but it was on the bubble. For our analysis and writeups on all 40 teams, check out this post.
