Turner has grown a full inch since October of 2013.
The West defeated the East 105-102 to win the 2014 McDonald's All-American Game.
Jahlil Okafor and Justin Jackson were named MVPs.
Okafor had 17 points and seven rebounds, while Jackson had 23 points and five rebounds.
Tyus Jones had seven points and 10 assists.
Steve Smith has had 28 former Oak Hill players make it to the NBA, but Carmelo Anthony is by far the most popular alum among a group that includes Rajon Rondo, Brandon Jennings, Josh Smith, Ty Lawson and Jerry Stackhouse.
Nike released an Oak Hill jersey with Anthony's name and No. 22 on the back soon after he entered the NBA.
Smith says the school once received a “six-figure” royalty check from sales of that jersey.
“They sold like hotcakes and made us a little money,” Smith said. “We were in China playing in 2012 and kids were wearing it in China.”
