Kentucky recruits Michael Gilchrist and Marquis Teague as well as North Carolina-bound James McAdoo head the 12-man United States roster for the Under-17 World Championship in Hamburg, Germany for July 2-11.
The Philadelphia area product Gilchrist is widely considered the number one player in the high school class of 2011 while McAdoo and Teague are also top five in the class.
All told, the U.S. team – coached by Don Showalter – includes nine players which helped the U.S. win gold at the 2009 U-16 FIBA Americas Championship in Argentina.
