3-point shot: Celebrating U18 champs

1. Winning gold should never be dismissed. There was a tournament and the U.S. won. That’s the goal and it was accomplished by coaches Billy Donovan of Florida, Gonzaga’s Mark Few and VCU’s Shaka Smart. The U18 championship at the FIBA Americas tournament in Sao Sebastiao do Paraiso, Brazil, was a dominant performance. College basketball should feel good about the talent on display as Julius Randle, who has another year of high school in McKinney, Texas, was a power player in the title game with 18 and 12 while Tennessee’s Jarnell Stokes (11 and 4), Oklahoma State-bound Marcus Smart (10 and four assists) put on a display in a 81-56 victory over host Brazil.
