ALL-TIME USA MEN’S U18 AMERICAS 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 Americas 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.
