The Players of the u17 USA Basketball team predict their starting 5

Colorado Springs, Colorado – 35 of the best players eligible for u17 USA basketball accumulated last week in Colorado Springs, Colorado. They competed for two-a-days for the week, chalk talk, film review, etc. To say each player got a good feel for those around him, would be an understatement.

On3 was on hand for the week and able to talk to the players, as they predict what their starting lineups would be after the full week of training camp.

Question: “You have to win one game in Spain, title on the line, what five guys are you putting out on the court to ensure you come home with the gold?”

* These questions were asked prior to the final u17 USA basketball 12-man roster being announced, so a couple of players listed did not make the final cut.

**DJ Wagner was not in attendance for u17 USA basketball training camp due to still being in school, so he was not mentioned by the players.
