Alabama guard Kira Lewis and Mississippi State forward Reggie Perry have both made the USA U19 World Cup Tteam.
Lewis and Perry were among the group of 18 finalists announced earlier in the week, and now they’ll join 10 other players to make up the USA roster.
The U19 World Cup gets started on June 29 in Greece, with the USA slotted in Group A along with Lithuania, New Zealand, and Senegal.

Lewis should be one of the SEC’s top playmakers in his sophomore season at Alabama, and Perry has emerged as one of the conference’s top NBA prospects after impressing at the combine this summer.
The USA finished third in the U19 World Cup back in 2017 but captured the championship in the previous trip to Greece in 2015.
