The likes of Kemba Walker and Myles Turner struggled to make any sort of impact during Team USA's elimination to France, although Gregg Popovich's team had one stand out performer in Donovan Mitchell. The Utah Jazz guard scored 29 points during an excellent individual performance, and Mitchell was at times the only USA player offering any resistance as the French looked to pull away in the third quarter.

Admittedly, Mitchell didn't score a single point in the 4th quarter, although the 23-year-old appeared to tire after receiving little help from his misfiring teammates. Mitchell also led his team in assists (6) and rebounds (4), and also came up with a pair of steals. Ultimately, Mitchell could be the only man from the World Cup roster that participates in next summers Olympics.
