It may be the offseason, but Stanford basketball players past and future have been making news this month.
Oscar da Silva
The versatile da Silva is part of Jerod Haase’s much-heralded incoming recruiting class. Earlier this month he competed with Team Germany in the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup in Egypt. He put up impressive averages of 10.3 points, 4 boards, 2 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game, while shooting 57.1% from the field over the seven game tournament. Da Silva notched 18 points and four steals to lead Germany to victory in the fifth-place game over basketball juggernaut Lithuania.
