It’s the USA versus the World, as it so often seems to be these days. Only this conflict is a friendly basketball competition between teams comprised of the best young NBA players.

Here are the rosters:

Team World

  • OG Anunoby (UK)
  • Deandre Ayton (Bahamas)
  • Bogdan Bogdanovic (Serbia)
  • Luka Doncic (Slovenia)
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Canada)
  • Rodions Kurucs (Latvia)
  • Lauri Markkanen (Finland)
  • Josh Okogie (Nigeria)
  • Cedi Osman (Macedonia)
  • Ben Simmons (Australia)

Team USA

  • Jarrett Allen (Austin, TX)
  • Marvin Bagley III (Tempe, AZ)
  • John Collins (Layton, UT)
  • De’Aaron Fox (New Orleans, LA)
  • Jaren Jackson Jr. (Plainfield, NJ)
  • Kevin Knox (Phoenix, AZ)
  • Kyle Kuzma (Flint, MI)
  • Donovan Mitchell (Elmsford, NY)
  • Jayson Tatum (St. Louis, MO)
  • Trae Young (Lubbock, TX)
  • Lonzo Ball (Anaheim, CA)

This is a good crop of young players, both from the world and elsewhere. Lonzo won’t be balling, because he’s hurt or something.
