Derrick Favors and John Wall, the top two-ranked high school senior basketball players in the country, sat side-by-side Saturday while watching an N.C. State practice.

Favors, 6-9 and ranked No. 1 by scout.com, was on his official visit to State. The South Atlanta standout has State among his final five schools.

Wall, a 6-4 point guard of Raleigh Word of God, dropped by State's practice along with Word of God junior teammate C.J. Leslie, who already has committed to State. Wall also has State among his finalists.
