Quintet of 2013 U19 Worlds stars picked in 2015 NBA Draft

HERAKLION (2015 FIBA U19 World Championship) - A handful of players selected in Thursday's NBA Draft have graced the court at the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship. Here's a look at some of their highlights.

Jahlil Okafor was picked by the Philadelphia 76ers two summers after guiding the United States to the title at the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship

Okafor shared the 2013 U19 spotlight with Justise Winslow and the athletic forward joined Okafor in the NBA lottery by getting picked 10th overall by the Miami Heat. 

A third member of the 2013 U19 champions also heard his name called in New York City as Montrezl Harrell was chosen by the Houston Rockets with the second pick of the second round - number 32 overall.

Losing to the United States in the final two summers ago was Serbia and center Nikola Milutinov, who was not at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn to shake hands with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver when he was picked 26th by the San Antonio Spurs. 

The third leading scorer of the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship was Trey Lyles, the Canadian power forward who was picked at number 12 by the Utah Jazz.
