Message: [QUOTE="BobbyJ, post: 3953070, member: 4250"] JMO, but other than Canada, the competition in this tourney was dismal. And the US beat Canada by 50. They won their 6 games by an average of 70.5 PPG. The bigs like DeBerry, Betts, Gardiner, and Moore were matched up in most cases with kids under 6 foot. The kids get better competition during the tryouts and against their AAU schedule at home. They're probably getting better team coaching in some cases from these USA Youth teams but like AAU, there's very little specific skills work being done. Just not enough time. So the tournament games don't really do much for them but being in the environment might give some of the kids some motivation to do the individual work needed to later compete at the college level.
