    2014 FIBA Americas Men's U18 Tournament

    US to host men's, women's U-18 basketball events



    NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. has been chosen to host the men's and women's FIBA Americas under-18 championships this summer at USA Basketball's training center in Colorado Springs, Colo.

    The top four teams in each tournament will qualify for the 2015 FIBA under-19 world championships. The under-18 championships are held every two years, and the American men and women won in 2012.

    Florida's Billy Donovan will coach the U.S. men. Three-time Olympic gold medalist Dawn Staley, now the coach of South Carolina, will lead the women.

    The men's tournament is June 20-24 and the women's event is Aug. 6-10.

                Top centers Turner (2014) and Zimmerman (2015), both new entries, head US longs.
                But from a first look at the players list PFs of size are lacking.

                      Team Brazil went 0-3 at the NIJT in Milan, losing to strong clubs of Badalona, Sevilla and Belgrade.
                      Teodoro, Vezaro and Siewert top scored the Brazilian squad.

                        Argentina's Juan Pablo Vaulet still recvovering from 2013 injury won't participate to the next training camp (26-30 May).
                        U17 Ignacio Onetto will be his sub.

                            Uruguay team:

                            Los que viajarán son: Juan Andrés Galleto (Biguá), Pierino Rusch (Hebraica y Macabi), Martín Couñago (Biguá), Joaquín Borrallo (Goes), Martín Trelles (Bohemios), Guillermo Ulery (Malvín), Agustín Da Costa (Bohemios), Octavio Medina (Hebraica y Macabi), Joaquín Jones (Biguá), Rodrigo Deus (Palma de Mallorca), Martín Rojas (Biguá) y Facundo Grolla (Biguá).


                            Medina averaged 21.4 points and 8.0 rebounds per game at the Sudamericano last year, including 32 points against Argentina, while Grolla averaged 15 and 10. Counago hit 15 threes in the five games.

                              Looking at USA's U18 team, Tyus Jones, Justise Winslow and Stanley Johnson brings much experience. Myles Turner is an impressive prospect with a ridiculous wingspan. Tyler Lydon I think is the lone natural PF in this roster.
