The best prep senior players in the nation will be matched against some of the World’s best young international talent on Saturday, April 9 in the 2011 Nike Hoop Summit.
Coming to you from Portland, Oregon, this Saturday night, we will be there to give you the breakdown on who dominated and who disappointed.
Thankfully, we have scouting reports on every member of the US team to brief you with before the big game on Saturday.
Below is the roster of players, along with their colleges for next year. Click the links to see their individual player profiles.
Team USA Roster
This roster includes seven of our top ten ranked players in 2011.
Davis, Teague, Rivers, Gilchrist and McAdoo are all considered top prospects for the 2012 NBA Draft as well.
Most of these players, fresh off the McDonald’s All-American game, are primed to continue the high school All-Star circuit with strong performances in this exhibition, in preparation for their big debuts in the NCAA next season.
Below is the roster of international players that the top prep stars will be taking on, including some scouting reports and the country from which they are from (and their school, if available).
International Team Roster
Kyle Wiltjer (Kentucky/Canada)
Kevin Pangos (Gonzaga/Canada)
Bismack Biyombo (Congo)
Dario Saric (Croatia)
Davis Bertans (Latvia)
Mateusz Ponitka (Poland)
Evan Fornier (France)
Raul Togni Neto (Brazil)
Przemyslaw Karnowski (Poland)
Guo Ailun (China)
The talk of the international team’s workouts has been Bismack Biyombo, who has freakish length (6’9” with a 7’7” wingspan) and whose stock is soaring up the 2011 NBA draft boards.
Lucas Nogueira is young, 7’0″ and considered to be a first round pick if he enters the draft this year as well.
Wiltjer should be a local favorite, as he’s from Jesuit High School in Portland and has an all-around, fundamental game that will shine in the NCAA next season.
Stay tuned to SwishScout.com this weekend as we break down the notable performances and progression of these young stars after the game.
Until then, enjoy the scouting report links and the game on Saturday night at 7 p.m. PT on FSN.
