Ben Simmons finished with 13 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists as the World team defeated the USA for the third time in four years at the Nike Hoop Summit.

Australian center Thon Maker posted 2 points and 10 rebounds in the 103-101 victory, while New Zealand’s Tai Wynyard had 2 points and 2 assists in limited minutes.

Simmons did his prospects no harm!

Was a really open, free-flowing game too. Was fun to watch.

Simmons was a standout, playing point-forward for parts of the game.

Maker had trouble finishing around the rim - looked like he did not have the strength at times although he looked promising.

The issue is that pro-scouts and guys critique them at the summit are reviewing the players from an NBA perspective.

They evaluate them as they are NBA players and forget to evaluate them on a "where they are now" basis.

Wynyard is 17 for crying out loud.

It would be great if scouts could evaluate them based on their ages because at the end of the day, the reason they are at the summit is because they are one of the best in the world for their AGE.

Wynyard is by far the youngest player there, just a good experience for him to see how it all works and play against kids with similar ability.
