World Team Beats USA AGAIN At Nike Hoops Summit

Some comments from DraftExpress on the game and Exum...

http://www.draftexpress.com/article/2013-Nike-Hoop-Summit-Game-Recap-4149/

Getting significant contributions from most of the players on its roster, this World Select Team will likely go down as one of the best the event has ever had when we look back at it a few years from now.

Dante Exum had a phenomenal game as well, showcasing his ball-handling ability, speed, and skill level en route to 16 points. Making a number of impressive moves attacking the rim, Exum demonstrated just how dynamic he can be with the ball in his hands, even if he didn't get to run the point as frequently as he has in FIBA competition. His college decision in one to keep a close eye on, as it will determine when he can become eligible for the NBA draft. He is draft eligible next year as an international prospect, but would have to wait until the 2015 draft to enter should he attend college.

Dante Exum: He did not start in this game but he played very impressive in his time on the court. Even though he could play college ball this upcoming season if he wanted to, he has made the decision to play prep school ball in the states next year before he picks a college. Which ever college lands Exum will be very lucky. Should definitely be a Top 5 player in the 2014 Senior class along with Okafor, Jones and his World teammate Towns. As of right now I am projecting Exum to be a lottery pick at the leastt for the 2015 draft. Him and Ben Simmons will make Australia a powerful team in the future.

Exum had a great game coming off the bench, and according to this article, Exum is geading to prep school in the USA next season instead if college...

Exum was nearly faultless and only played 22 minutes in coming off the bench.

Maybe in the past Team USA were better athletes with great individual skills, but that advantage seems to have disappeared.

As Tiger Watcher said, Team USA doesn't emphasise the importance of the 3-pointer.
