DeMar DoMinates AgaiN
After an impressive showing in the McDonald's All-American slam dunk contest a few weeks ago, top USC hoops recruit DeMar DeRozan has taken his game to the international level.
With 17 points, DeRozan was the leading scorer in Saturday's Nike Hoop Summit. He added three steals, two rebounds and one assist. The annual all-star game pits the top American high school players against the best under-19 international players. This year's contest was held in Portland and ended in a 98-78 win for the U.S.
It was a unique experience for the Compton superstar. After the game he told reporters,
The World Team was big so it was hard for us to go to the hole and we had to adjust. In international rules we can knock the ball off the rim so we had to adjust and get a couple of steals and just run them. We did a good job and we got a win for USA.
Four of DeRozan's USA teammates will be playing at UCLA next season: Drew Gordon, Jrue Holiday, Malcolm Lee and Jerime Anderson.
