Clemson basketball could not have been selected to represent the United States of America at a better time.
The Tigers will represent the USA in the World University Games in Italy this summer. Clemson will compete against teams throughout the world from July 3-14 in Naples.
Why is this a good thing for Clemson basketball?
The Tigers are already replacing four seniors in Marcquise Reed, Shelton Mitchell, Elijah Thomas and David Skara, and recently have lost forwards Javan White and Malik William to transfers. With a young team, and a couple of transfers and freshmen that will be added later, getting to play this summer will benefit Clemson as it tries to rebuild its roster.
