Top players to watch at FIBA U19 World Cup
- AJ Dybantsa (USA): An electric athlete with good size, Dybantsa is widely considered the top prospect in the class of 2025 and could be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
- Christian Anderson (Germany): The Texas Tech guard is coming off a freshman season in which he averaged 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.
- Dash Daniels (Australia): The brother of Hawks guard Dyson Daniels, Dash is an elite defender who uses his quickness to fluster his opponents on the perimeter.
- Savo Drezgic (Serbia): Drezgic does a little bit of everything on the court, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him flirt with a triple-double at some point during the tournament.
- Tyran Stokes (USA): Stokes is the top prospect in the class of 2026 because of his incredible offensive skill set from the wing.
