Along with his 12 points, Reid grabbed 10 rebounds and dished three assists while shooting 6-of-8 from the field, helping the Americans head to the gold medal game. The USA would take on Argentina again in the championship game, beating them 110-70 to capture a seventh straight gold medal at the FIBA Men’s U18 AmeriCup.

USA MEN’S U18 AMERICUP TEAM 2022 RESULTS
Looking to claim a sixth-straight FIBA U18 AmeriCup title, the 2022 USA Men’s U18 National Team took care of business, going 6-0 en route to a championship. The USA led the tournament in several key statistical categories such as points averaged (105.2), field goal shooting (.507), 3-point shooting (.294), rebounds (343), assists (146), steals (75) and blocks (52). With a 56.7-point average margin of victory, the USA cruised to its 10th overall gold medal in U18 competition. Led by Tad Boyle (Colorado), the USA opened preliminary play on June 6 with a 116-48 win over the Dominican Republic. All 12 players scored, including six in double digits. Kel’el Ware, who scored 17 points and blocked two shots, was the top scorer in the game. With Gregory ‘GG’ Jackson scoring 20 points and grabbing 12 rebounds, the U.S. outpaced Ecuador 123-41 in the second game of preliminary play. Joining Jackson was Jared McCain, who scored 22 points, Ware, who pitched in with 18, and Mark Armstrong, who added 13. In the final preliminary game versus Puerto Rico, the USA was paced by the eventual tournament MVP Cam Whitmore, who scored 24 points and shot 84% from the field (11-13 FG) to lead the U.S. to a 100-55 victory.a Advancing to the quarterfinals, the USA played Mexico and received a 27-point, seven-rebound performance from Whitmore in a 92-64 win. In the semifinals, Argentina struggled to score against the USA’s imposing defense as Ware dominated the paint 17 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. He was joined in scoring by Seth Trimble, who tallied 16 points, Armstrong, who put up 13, and Whitmore, who scored 12. The USA advanced to the gold medal game with a 98-60 victory. Matching up with Brazil with a gold medal on the line, Whitmore scored 30 points en route to the 102-60 victory. Whitmore’s 30 marked the most points scored by an American in a gold medal game while also leaving him tied for third-most points by an American in U18 competi- tion (Luke Kennard). In addition to Whitmore, FIBA’s All-Star Five featured Ware, Argentina’s Dylan Bordon and Canada’s Vasean Allette and Reynan Dos Santos. Jackson missed the last four games due to illness (non-COVID).

USA MEN’S U18 AMERICUP TEAM 2018 RESULTS
With a fifth-straight FIBA AmeriCup U18 Championship gold medal on the line, the 2018 USA Men’s U18 National Team completed that task and added a cherry on top, becoming the first USA men’s squad to score in triple digits in each game and posting a 6-0 record. In 240 minutes of play, the United States men trailed their opponents all of three minutes, all in the early first quarter of the gold medal game against Canada. Overall, the USA led in most of the major statistical categories, including points averaged (114.5), margin of victory (+49.3), scoring defense (65.2), field goal percentage (.533), free throw percentage (.752), blocks (6.8), assists (29.0) and steals (12.0). Led by Hall of Famer and University of Kansas head coach Bill Self, the USA opened with a dominating 105-73 victory over Dominican Repub- lic. All 12 players scored, including six in double digits, and Cole Anthony led the offensive effort with 18 points. The USA opened with a 45-0 run and never looked back en route to a 118-26 victory over Panama. Again all 12 team members scored, led by Armando Bacot’s 17 points. In the USA’s final preliminary game, eventual tournament MVP Quentin Grimes paced the squad with 20 points in a 115-71 win over Puerto Rico. Advancing to the quarterfinals against Ecuador, which was 0-3 after the opening round, the U.S. received a 20-point and 11-rebound dou- ble-double from Trayce Jackson-Davis in a 132-55 finish. Argentina was the only team to keep it close to the USA, but could not overcome the USA’s depth in the semifinals, and the U.S. advanced to the gold medal game with a 104-92 win. Leading the way was Grimes with 26 points and Coby White with 25. In front of a packed house cheering loudly for the home team, the USA withstood an early run from Canada and dominated the game’s final 36 minutes to claim a 113-74 victory and the gold medal behind 18 points from Anthony. In addition to Grimes, the All-Tournament Team included Anthony and White, along with Argentina’s Francisco Caffaro and Canada’s Andrew Nembhard. ST. CATHARINES, CANADA • JUNE 10-16, 2018

USA MEN’S U18 AMERICUP TEAM 2014 RESULTS
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO • JUNE 20-24, 2014
Home court advantage and a roster filled with top talent was enough lead the USA to a gold medal finish. Held at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, the USA steamrolled the opposition and compiled a 5-0 record to claim the 2014 FIBA AmeriCup U18 title. Stanley Johnson was named the U18 Championship’s MVP after averaging a USA-best 14.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.2 steals. The USA, which trailed for just 4:05 total, finished the eight-team tournament ranked No. 1 in most major statistical categories, including scoring offense, scoring defense (60.6), field goal percentage (.538), rebounding (52.6), assists (114), steals (68) and blocks (40). The 12-member team featured seven players boasting of prior USA Basketball experience, and the coaching staff featured USA head coach and University of Florida head coach Billy Donovan, who led the 2012 U18 and 2013 U19 USA National Teams to gold medals and a combined 14-0 record. Led by Luke Kennard’s game-high 30 points (7-12 3FG), the USA exploded offensively and cruised to a 156-58 victory over Uruguay in its opener. The offensive showing set five USA U18 records, including team records for points scored, margin of victory (98 points), field goals made (59), team assists (40) and assists by an individual after Jalen Brunson dished out 13. Led by Johnson’s 18 points, eight USA players scored eight or more points, including five in double digits, and the U.S. downed Mexico 100- 46. Leading start-to-finish, the USA earned a lopsided 118-64 victory over Argentina to close preliminary round play as Brunson paced the way with 16 points. Downing Dominican Republic 90-56 to advance to the gold medal contest, USA Basketball veterans Johnson and Tyus Jones combined for 29 points, eight assists and five steals to lead the way. In its most competitive game of the tournament, the USA earned a convincing 113-79 victory over Canada to claim the gold medal.
