Who was the best and the worst player on each team in the Nike Hoop Summit? In a game filled with great talent, some stood out more than others.

The Nike Hoop Summit has been a great benchmark for many of the top players around the world. My favorite part about it is that it is not just a game of the best players, it gives bragging rights to people. The United States the powerhouse of basketball has lost more than you would think.

They carry a record of 15-7 after beating the World this year 93-87. We have seen an absurd amount of draft picks between the two at 217 total, and 161 of those being first round picks.

This year, however, there have been some players that stuck out a lot, while some of them took a huge step back in the progression. There could be many attributions to this. Some players have not seen this kind of competition very often, while some others may have just had an off night, or been on a tough match-up.

For the players that played out of their mind, now people know about you it is up to them to keep up what they are doing and to not let the hype get to them as that could be their downfall. All stats are from usab.com
