Team USA selects 13 elite players to compete against World team in Portland on April 13.

Ace Bailey, Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper headline a star-studded roster announcement by USA basketball for the 25th annual Nike Hoop Summit. The 13 players face off against the World Team's top international players 19 and younger on April 13 at the Moda Center in Portland, Ore.

The event has been held annually since 1995, expect for 2001-2003 and 2020-21, and has been played in Portland since 2018. The USA holds a 17-7 series advantage over the World Team.

All 13 players are committed to play at a Power 5 school after high school with Duke, Rutgers and Kentucky each featuring multiple commits.

Future Duke teammates Isaiah Evans, Cooper Flagg and Patrick Ngongba team up at the event, while future Rutgers standouts Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper and Kentucky-bound Boogie Fland and Jayden Quaintance will also be on the court together.



Pace Academy (Atlanta, Ga.) coach Sharman White heads the squad along with Frank Bennett of Chaminade (St. Louis, Mo.) and Nick LoGalbo of Lane Tech (Chicago, Ill.). White has ample USA Basketball experience, including most recently leading his second USA U16 National Team to FIBA Men's U16 Americas Championship gold by going 6-0 at the 2023 competition. Bennett and LoGalbo were assistants for the 2023 Men's Hoop Summit team.
