USA U16 MEN’S AMERICAS TEAM 2017 RESULTS
FORMOSA, ARGENTINA • JUNE 14-18, 2017
Headed up by Don Showalter, the USA won its fifth-straight U16 gold. The USA’s 112.6 points per game was led by eventual tournament MVP Vern Carey Jr.’s 14.0 points. The U.S. featured five athletes with double-digit scoring averages and three more who had at least 9.0 a game. Opening with a 110-69 victory over Puerto Rico, Carey led the team with team highs of 17 points and nine rebounds as all 12 athletes scored. A 94-45 victory over Dominican Republic secured the USA’s berth into the 2018 FIBA U17 World Cup and a spot in the semifinals. The Amer- icans led from wire-to-wire and were led by 15 points and 10 rebounds from James Wiseman as six USA team members scored in double digits. Nine U.S. athletes scored in double figures, led by Zion Harmon’s 17 and five assists, as the USA put on a clinic against Mexico for a 127-52 victory. Shooting a sizzling 60.0% on the night and racing to a 71-21 halftime lead, the USA took down Argentina 121-49, setting up a North American gold medal contest against also-unbeaten Canada. All 12 members of the USA squad got on the scoreboard, led by Scottie Barnes’ game- high 20 points and six of the USA U16 men’s record 26 steals. Behind 19 points, five rebounds and four assists from Carey, the USA rolled to a 111-60 win over Canada to claim the gold medal. Holding Canada to just 29.6% shooting from the field, the USA shot a 60.0% and saw six players finish in double-digit scoring. Canada was the only team over the five-game tournament that managed to gain a lead on the USA, holding it for fewer than three minutes. After Canada had an early 6-3 edge, the USA took the lead for good on a Wendell Moore Jr. steal and layup that put the red, white and blue up 7-6. After owning a 10-point lead at the end of the first quarter, the USA dominated the second quarter 23-8 for a 49-24 halftime lead. While the USA just missed breaking its U16 records for most points scored in a tournament by two points (565 points, 2009), it did eclipse several other of the USA U16 records. New marks included field goal percentage (.568), free throws made (100) and free throw percentage (.704).
