The Nike Hoop Summit will take place April 11th in Portland Oregon. European based scout Halil Can Pelister gave us a glimpse at an impressive World Team roster. It has a lot of intriguing talent, headlined by Australians Ben Simmons and Thon Maker, as well as Mali’s Cheick Diallo, Haitian Skal Labissiere and Canada’s Jamal Murray making a return appearance.
