How is Mississippi State F Reggie Perry spending the summer between his freshman and sophomore seasons?
After going through the NBA Draft process, he decided to return to school. For now, though, he’s off in Greece for the FIBA U19 World Cup.
And, in his debut game for Team USA, he had a great performance. As you can see below, he scored 20 points, six rebounds, three steals and two blocks:

Team USA easily took care of New Zealand, winning 111-71. The U.S. is in Group A, along with New Zealand, Lithuania and Senegal.
Perry and his teammates will take on Lithuania on Sunday. This is valuable experience for the rising sophomore and all the other young stars on the World Cup squad.
