It was a great tournament for Team USA, with BYU signee AJ Dybantsa named the MVP. He joined his teammate, Mikel Brown Jr., on the All-Star Five.

“I’m just so proud of the guys,” USA coach Tommy Lloyd said, via USAB. “Incredible effort and they were really consistent over this three-week period. It feels like we just keep getting better. It’s one of those things where you’re happy with the result, but you wish the process was just starting again with these guys because they’re a special group.”

It was Stokes’ third gold on the international level, having won the 2023 FIBA Under-16 Americas Championship and the 2024 FIBA U17 World Cup.
