Former IU basketball consensus first-team All-American Trayce Jackson-Davis is one of fifteen athletes who have been named to the 2024 USA Basketball Men’s Select Team that will train with the USA Basketball Men’s National Team as they prepare for the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
The USA Select Team features a roster of 12 current NBA or NBA G League players; two players with NBA, NBA G League, international and USA Basketball experience; and one incoming college freshman with USA Basketball experience.
Members of the USA Men’s Select Team will train daily with the USA Men’s National Team from July 6-8 in Las Vegas.
Joining Jackson-Davis on the Select Team are Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons), Cooper Flagg (Duke University), Langston Galloway (Free Agent), Nigel Hayes-Davis (Fenerbahçe, Turkey), Jaime Jaquez Jr. (Miami Heat), Brandon Miller (Charlotte Hornets), Trey Murphy (New Orleans Pelicans), Keegan Murray (Sacramento Kings), Brandin Podziemski (Golden State Warriors), Micah Potter (Utah Jazz/Salt Lake City Stars), Payton Pritchard (Boston Celtics), Jabari Smith Jr. (Houston Rockets), Jalen Suggs (Orlando Magic) and Amen Thompson (Houston Rockets).
“As a former member of the USA Select Team, I know how important and fun this opportunity is for each of these players,” said Grant Hill, USA Basketball Men’s National Team managing director said in a release. “There is a tremendous amount of talent on this Select squad with the significant job of helping the 2024 USA Men’s National Team as they begin their journey to the Olympics. Each of these athletes will play a role in our preparation as we also develop the national team pipeline for the future.”
Six members of the 2024 USA Basketball Men’s National Team have been on past select teams.
Jackson-Davis has previous experience with USA Basketball. He won a gold medal with Team USA at the 2018 FIBA Americas Championships in Canada.
The former IU star finished one vote shy of the NBA’s All-Rookie team this season with the Warriors.
Jackson-Davis gave Golden State more athleticism and size underneath this season, firmly establishing himself as the team’s starting center by the campaign’s end. He finished his first NBA season averaging 7.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 68 games with the Warriors. He shot 70.2 percent from the field in his first campaign in the league.
Known to IU fans as “TJD,” Jackson-Davis will live on in Indiana’s record book for a long time. He’s IU’s all-time leading shot-blocker (270) and rebounder (1,143). He finished third on the program’s all-time scoring list with 2,258 career points — and he’s just the sixth Hoosier to top 2,000.
