Jaden Ivey and Caleb Furst’s U19 USA Team is about to smash headfirst into Zach Edey’s Canadian National Team after another full day of FIBA basketball in Latvia.
For Purdue fans, it will be a tantalizing, and strange, look at three of their Boilermakers on an international scene wearing something other than gold and black, and in this instance, facing off against one another.
It’s arguable that Jaden Ivey and Zach Edey have been the two best players in the tournament. Ivey’s USA squad has had a pretty easy go of it, but the sophomore to be has been Team USA’s best scorer, flashing an improved jump shot, and a penchant for highlight drives to the hoop.
