Okogie makes USA Under 19 team.

I know not everybody is a big Calipari fan, but I think it will be great for him to get a summer of coaching from Cal and playing with these guys.

Strong game for Okogie today.

Leads the team with 17 pts (6-12 FG, 1-1 3FG, 4-4 FT), 10 rbs, 4 assists, 2 steals, 2 TO in 19 min.

Shafer had 11 and 10 in a close win for Japan over Mali. Not bad at all.

Of note, a player on Angola who got his *** busted a couple of times by Josh O was 2018 Top 30 player, Silvio De Sousa.

This is great exposure for Josh and may help us recruiting 2018 players.

Josh n'Kobe is tha truth.

5 minutes in & USA is getting a challenege, tied 13 all. Josh is in the game, prior to timeout. Link to livestream.

the rims sound like outdoor rims at the park - like they ought to have chain nets.

Josh playing pretty well but I think he got frustrated when he didn't get a couple of calls

 

[dtm1997]

I don't know what his final stat line will look like, but I just don't think this is Josh's day.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

He had a sloppy turnover there close to the end of the game. FT shooting looked nice.

 

[RyanS12]

I fully expect him to put his name in the draft after this upcoming season. Get feed back and leave after his Jr year.

I agree with this, but you may have already known that.

I think testing the waters after this year will be prudent because either it'll be time to go or he'll learn what else he needs to do to get a real crack at the NBA.

Getting back to today's game, it was not a good showing statistically, but he did stay after it on defense, despite just seeming off today.

Not a huge day for Josh today. Struggled a bit with his shot but still played with the intangibles we have come to expect. Some assists and rebounds. A block, took a charge, saved a ball to our team. Not a ton of minutes but he came in when Mali cut it to 17 and on 3 straight plays to close the half he had an assist to Wdwards, took a charge and had a dunk to close the half and the US was back up over 20 at the half.
