USA U16 MEN’S AMERICAS TEAM 2019 RESULTS
BELEM, BRAZIL • JUNE 3-9, 2019
In his first U16 head coaching position, Mike Jones where Don Showalter left off by keeping USA’s golden streak alive. Jones’s squad finished the tournament leading the field in nearly every major statistical category as the U.S. outscored its competition by a 38.2 points a game. Fighting back from an early 17-point deficit, the USA went for an 83-57 victory over Argentina. Jabari Smith Jr. led the Americans with 22 points and nine rebounds. Amari Bailey finished with 22 points and Jalen Duren tallied 18 points and 17 rebounds to help the USA to a 104-52 win over Mexico. In capping preliminary play with a 122-71 victory over Dominican Republic, the squad set three USA U16 single-game records. Max Christie scored 24 points on a USA record 8-of-10 made 3-pointers; Richard Isaacs Jr. dished out a U.S. U16 single-game record 11 assists to go with 13 points and seven rebounds; and as a team, the USA shot 56.4% (22-39 3FG) from 3-point to smash the previous USA U16 record of 47.6% (10-21 3FG). Advancing to the quarterfinals, the USA had no trouble bypassing Puerto Rico 102-51. Smith’s 15 points led five U.S. players in double-digits. The USA propelled itself into a sixth-straight U16 gold medal game with a 90-58 semifinal victory over Argentina. Smith shot 5-of-8 from the field and 7-of-8 from the line to finish with a team-high 18 points. Chris Livingston, who was perfect on his eight free throw attempts to tie a USA U16 single-game record for free throw percentage and free throws made, notched a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Behind a balanced scoring effort that saw six USA players reach double digits, the USA upped its record to 6-0 and earned a sixth-straight FIBA Americas U16 gold medal after topping Canada 94-71. Livingston, who led the USA with 23 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the floor, was named MVP of the tournament and was joined on the All-Star Five by Duren, who scored 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
