After a 16-point performance in the semifinals against Argentina, Trimble was limited to just six points in the championship game. However, he was the center of the highlight reel, as he threw down a huge dunk while also recording an impressive block on the other end.

Unfortunately, Jackson was unable to compete in most of the tournament, as he missed Team USA’s final four contests. However, Jackson put together some solid performances, including a double-double performance against Ecuador.
Both players got to compete against some of the best competition that the world has to offer, and it’s exciting to see them both produce at a high level. Although Jackson was limited, Trimble picked up a ton of experience, which will help him as he looks to impact the UNC basketball program this upcoming season.
