Last nights victory was yet another milestone for the U.S. Select team as they took down the Eurocamp All Stars in the 13th annual adidas Eurocamp and improved their record to 2-0. The significance of this victory was big in terms of the competition they faced as the All star roster boasted 6 players who had entered their names in this years NBA draft. Coming into the game many were expecting the U.S. to struggle a bit due to the size and age of the European players; most of which were 3-4 years older than the U.S. guys. Despite what they lacked in those areas, the U.S. front court of Edrice Adebayo and Deron Davis went a perfect 12-12 from the field against NBA draftees Lucas Diaz Silva and Omar Yurt. Other significant contributors included Kobi Simmons and Frank Jackson who nailed two crucial 3 pointers in the 4th quarter. Today they look to finish a perfect 3-0 as they'll take on the Greece 19U team and accomplish something that last years team wasn't able to do; which was 1) win a single game and 2) go undefeated.
