USA Basketball was organized in 1974 and known as
the Amateur Basketball Association of the United States of
America (ABAUSA). The name change to USA Basketball
occurred Oct. 12, 1989, shortly after FIBA modified its rules to
allow professional basketball players to participate in
international competitions. USA Basketball then admitted the
NBA as an active member and made the change.
USA Basketball is governed by an 11-member Board of
Directors. Jerry Colangelo, 2005-2016 USA Basketball Men’s
National Team Managing Director, serves as Chairman of the
USA Basketball Board of Directors for a second quadrennium.

An incredible 151 former USA and

World Team player Anthony

the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2013,

Headlined by Jahlil Okafor, a threetime gold medalist and MVP of the 2012
2014 Nike Hoop Summit
2014 Nike Hoop Summit • Notes
FIBA U17 World Championship, the
roster also includes two-time gold
medal winners Stanley Johnson, Tyus
Jones and Justise Winslow; as well as
Joel Berry II and Theo Pinson, who each
own one gold medal.
USA center Cliff Alexander came
by his gold medal in 3x3 basketball,
helping the USA to win the 2013 FIBA
Americas 3x3 U18 Championship.
While James Blackmon Jr.,
attended several training camps with
USA Basketball as a member of the
2011-12 Developmental National
Team; Kelly Oubre and Myles Turner
got their first taste of USA Basketball
at this past October’s Developmental
National Team mini-camp.
Leading the USA will be heralded
high school mentor Mike Jones, who
not only headed the 2013 USA Junior
National Select Team and was an
assistant coach for the 2012 USA
Junior National Select Team, but who
also was an assistant coach for the
2012 USA U17 World Championship
Team, the 2011 USA U16 National
Team and the USA East Team in the
2004 Youth Development Festival.
As he was in 2013, Jones will be
assisted by former NBA player and
University of Virginia star Cory
Alexander, who played on three USA
Basketball teams. Cory Alexander
earned gold with the USA at the 1993
FIBA U21 World Championship, silver
at the 1992 FIBA Americas U20
Championship and bronze with the
USA South Team at the 1991 U.S.
Olympic Festival.
All-Star Sweep
All 11 members of the 2014 USA
Junior National Select Team took part
in the 2014 McDonald’s All-American
Game on April 2 in Chicago, Ill.
While Tyus Jones won the skills
competition to kick of the event, Jahlil
Okafor took home co-MVP honors in the
game as he scored 17 points to go with

2014 USA Junior National Select Team

and Justise Winslow (nine points).

College Bound
Ten of the 11 players have signed
a National Letter of Intent for the
2014-15 NCAA season.
Tyus Jones, Jahlil Okafor and
Justise Winslow will play at Duke; Cliff
Alexander and Kelly Oubre signed with
Kansas; Joel Berry II and Theo Pinson
will head to North Carolina; James
Blackmon Jr., signed with Indiana;
Stanley Johnson will play at Arizona;
and Reid Travis signed with Stanford.
Myles Turner remains undecided.
Nationally Honored
While Cliff Alexander earned the
title of 2014 Naismith National High
School Player of the Year, five others
were featured on the Early Season
Watch List that was released on Dec.
16, 2013, including Stanley Johnson,
Tyus Jones, Jahlil Okafor, Kelly Oubre
and Myles Turner.
Okafor was named the recipient of
the 2014 Morgan Wootten Award, which
honors the national player of the year.
Gatorade Honors
The World Team’s Karl Towns Jr.,
was named the Gatorade National
Boys Basketball Player of the Year, but
four U.S. team members took home
Gatorade State Player of the Year
honors in 2014.
Impressively, Joel Berry (Florida)
and Tyus Jones (Minnesota) are threepeat recipients (2012-2014), while
Justise Winslow (Texas) earned his
second such title having also colleced
the honor as a junior in 2013.
Also tabbed as a 2014 state
player of the year was Stanley Johnson
(California).
Pulling Rank
All 11 players rank among the top
40 boys basketball players in the Class
of 2014. While five are ranked among
the top nine across three different
scouting sites, and Jahlil Okafor is the
No. 1 player on all three lists.
ESPNU ranks Myles Turner second,
Cliff Alexander third, Tyus Jones fourth,
Stanley Johnson seventh, Theo Pinson
10th, Kelly Oubre 11th, Justise Winslow
15th, Joel Berry, II 16th, James
Blackmon Jr., 19th and Reid Travis
25th.
Scout.com has Turner second,
Jones fourth, Alexander fifth, Oubre
sixth, Johnson seventh, Winslow 10th,
Berry 21st, Pinson 27th, Blackmon 33rd
and Travis 40th.
Finally, Rivals.com ranks Johnson
third, Alexander fourth, Jones fifth,
Turner sixth, Winslow ninth, Oubre 12th,
Pinson 19th, Blackmon 23rd, Berry
25th and Travis 40th.
Title Winners
Perhaps most impressive among
the five 2014 state-championship
winners on the 2014 USA Junior
National Select Team is the resume of
Stanley Johnson, who became the first
player in California history to win four
straight upper-division state titles after
helping Mater Dei High School to a California Interscholastic Federation Open
Division championship and a perfect,
35-0 record in 2013-14.
Not far behind, however, is Reid
Travis, who won his third straight 3A
Minnesota state title with DeLaSalle.
Also capturing state titles in 2014
were Joel Berry II, Jahlil Okafor and
Theo Pinson.
