USA Basketball Announces 2022 3x3 U18 National Team Rosters
USA Basketball announced today the rosters for the 2022 USA Basketball Men’s and Women’s 3x3 U18 National Teams, which will compete in the 2022 FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cup in Debrecen, Hungary, from Aug. 23-28.
Each team is comprised of four athletes representing the high school graduating classes of 2023 and 2024. Ahead of the World Cup, the teams will participate in training camps set for Aug. 16-20 in Chicago.

The USA Basketball 2022 3x3 U18 Men’s National Team includes Myles Colvin, Eric Dailey Jr., Caleb Foster and Brandon Gardner.
“After an extremely competitive week of trials, we are excited for these eight athletes to represent the U.S. at the FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cup,” said Jay Demings, USA Basketball's 3x3 National Team director. “The leadership of athletes with national team experience combined with the hunger of those wearing the uniform for the first time will prove valuable as they unite to win gold.”

Williams holds two gold medals from the 2021 FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cup and the 2022 FIBA U17 World Cup (five-on-five).
