USA U16 MEN’S AMERICAS TEAM 2015 RESULTS
BAHIA BLANCA, ARGENTINA • JUNE 10-14, 2015
The USA U16 squad was riding a 15-0 streak heading into the event that was nearly halted in the final game of the tournament. Opening competition, the USA wasted no time in running to an 8-0 lead and rolling to a 105-54 victory over Puerto Rico. All 12 U.S. players scored, led by 19 points from Markus Howard. Behind 25 points and a FIBA Americas U16 record-tying seven 3-pointers from Gary Trent Jr., the USA eclipsed the single-game tournament record for 3-pointers made with 19 en route to a 115-51 victory over Dominican Republic. With six double-digit scorers, including two who posted double-doubles, the USA defeated Brazil 123-83. Wendell Carter Jr. paced the USA’s effort with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Jalen Hill had 14 points and 12 caroms. Surpassing Argentina 119-76 in the semifinal, the USA’s attack was led by 16 points apiece from Howard and Trent. Tre Jones set a new USA U16 single-game record for steals (7). Canada nearly spoiled the USA’s perfect run, but the red, white and blue was never deterred and pulled out a 77-60 win in the gold medal game after being down by 20 points in the second quarter. Looking at a 23-3 deficit, the USA fought its way back and trailed 37-27 at halftime. Within five points, 56-51, in the fourth quarter, the tide finally turned. After Carter missed completing a traditional 3-point play, Jarred Vanderbilt was there for the board and score and at 8:25, the USA was behind by just one, 56-55. While its defense stymied Canada, the USA took its largest lead of the night to that point, 60-56, with 5:49 to play. With renewed energy on both ends, the USA outscored Canada 17-4 to close out the game for the 17-point victory. Trent scored all 19 of his points in the second half and earned tournament MVP honors. Vanderbilt finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Jones had five steals and closed the tournament with a USA U16 record 19 steals. Also setting USA U16 competition records were Hill, who connected on 88.2% of his shots to set a new field goal percentage record, and Howard shot 48.4% from the arc to set a new mark for USA 3-point percentage.
