2025 Nike Hoop Summit

[From Canada]

The third edition of the women's Nike Hoop Summit takes place tonight, the Americans having won the first two clashes. The match is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM Eastern time, at the usual venue, the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. The broadcast is available on USA Network and streaming on Peacock, in Canada on NBA TV. I checked the ages of the players and all but one were born in 2006 or 2007, with only Olivia Vukosa (No. 7) born in 2008. This means that all of them are eligible for next summer's U19 World Championship, as long as their country has qualified.

This year we'll be seeing the USA jersey for the first time, as Aaliyah Chavez (attachment), the player with dual US/Mexican nationality, wears #12. I like to follow FIBA age-group competitions during the summer and it's quite possible that we'll see her for the first time at the U19 World Championship in the Czech Republic next July.

Here are the starting line-ups I'd like to see for Team USA: Aaliyah Chavez, Jasmine Davidson, Aaliyah Crump, Grace Knox and Sienna Betts. For World Team: Agot Makeer, Aïnhoa Risacher, Deniya Prawl, Lara Somfai and Olivia Vukosa. For the World Team, seven players will play in NCAA div1 next season.

Aaliyah Chavez did everything in high school except rep the USA. That changes at Nike Hoop Summit.

This is the first time Chavez has worn a USA jersey, but she doesn't want it to be the last as she has Olympic dreams.

The American team won the Nke Hoop Summit yesterday by a score of 90-78. A fully deserved victory, even if the score was tied at three minutes of the 4th quarter. The Americans were more combative, more effective in shooting and in transition, especially defensively. Personally, I thought that with the short time available to coaches, they offered a much better collective performance than last year, with a total of 24 assists. Team USA was made up of players who are finishing their high school careers this year, and they have all committed to an NCAA team for the upcoming 2025-2026 season. See the article summarizing the match in attachment.



On the world team side, seven players have committed to play in the NCAA next season. Let's take a look at the five players who have not committed. From France, Aïnhoa Risacher (UConn P.O.I) currently has no indication that she wants to cross the ocean to the USA, and the same goes for Sarah Cissé, her compatriot. According to their ages, both are normally finishing high school this year. Saffron Shiels from Australia turned 19 in January, and with a normal school career, she was old enough to play in the NCAA this year. Last year at the U18 2024 Asian Cup, she was Australia's best player in terms of efficiency, points scored, rebounds and assists. We should see her again at next summer's U19 World Cup. Olivia Vukosa (UConn P.O.I class 2026) is only eligible for 2026, and yesterday's game was a little disappointing for her (17 min - 2 pts - 6 rebs). I'd have liked to see her work closer to the basket on attack, but she did well on the rebound. Jovana Popovic from Serbia, PG 5'7, a good athlete who was born in October 2007, her high school career should end in 2026. I don't know her future intentions, yesterday she was a little more employed in the second half and did well, creating open shots for her teammates, which were not converted however. She finished the match with 18 min - 11 pts - 1 reb - 1 assist. Perhaps a player to watch (attachment)

Not sure if anyone got a chance to watch. Would love to hear people's thoughts. Last year I remember my takeaway was that Kennedy Smith was really good. I also really liked Oregon's freshman Ehis Etute who didn't get that much playing time. Also Toby Fournier did her thing as well.

Gimme Risacher! Love to see her passing to Sarah Strong.
