Team USA’s U16 team tips off today against Puerto Rico (FIBA YouTube, 3:30 pm ET).
Pace Academy’s Sharman White will serve as head coach with Eric Flannery (St. Edward H.S.) and Steve Turner (Gonzaga College H.S.) serving as assistant coaches.
This year’s team will be stocked with a little twist. Overtime Elite’s, Jalen Lewis, becomes the first player from the league to participate for USA Basketball.
Lewis is a 6′ 10″ center/forward who averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds last season at Bishop O’Dowd.
Team USA is Group A with Puerto Rico, Chile, and Dominican Republic.
