Another Duke player with international plans this summer is Antonio Vrankovic. He is one of fifteen players invited to tryout for a Croatia team that will head to the Borislav Stankovic Cup in China in July. There are several regular national team exhibition tournaments and this is one of the more prestigious ones and even the tryouts against Croatian pros should be a good experience even if its not the full national team.

The other game in the group was for the semifinals place and qualification for the next U17 World Championship and it was Colombia grinding out a 45-41 win over Mexico.

The other group started with the meaningless game as Venezuela beat the Dominican Republic 70-50. The last game would determine the semifinal bracket and Canada had to fight past Argentina for the 71-65 win.
