The FIBA U19 World Championships are ending on Sunday as the event gave a handful of college basketball players a chance to play in a competitive environment over the summer. While the American team is the primary focus of the casual college basketball fan, plenty of players on international rosters competed as well. Here’s a look at how those players performed through the last few weeks.

Australia

Jack McVeigh (Nebraska): The future Nebraska wing was second on the team at 11.1 points while also pulling in a team-leading 5.7 rebounds per contest. The 6-foot-7 McVeigh shot 47 percent from the field and was up to 54 percent from the field when not including his 0-for-9 3-point shooting.

Canada

Drew Urquhart (Vermont): A 6-foot-8 forward, Urquhart played four games and saw around 10 minutes per outing. He averaged 4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.

Jalen Poyser (UNLV): The 6-foot-4 future Runnin’ Rebel was a potent reserve scorer, averaging 7.9 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in only 13.6 minutes of action.

Dillon Brooks (Oregon): One of the better players in the event was the 6-foot-7 Oregon rising sophomore. Brooks averaged 18.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.
