REGENSBURG (David Hein's Eye on the Future) - The World Select Team led by the fantastic RJ Barrett once again got the beat of the USA Select Team at the 2018 Nike Hoop Summit with an 89-76 victory. While this was the end of the high school season in the United States, many of the players from the showcase event will be wearing their national team colors this summer.

Here is a rundown of where hoops fans will see them this summer.

United States at FIBA U18 Americas Championship 2018

Five of the United States players were born in 2000 and eligible to play at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship 2018 in St. Catherines from June 10-16. One of them actually already has experience with USA Basketball as Tre Jones - the younger brother of NBA point guard Tyus Jones - played at the FIBA U16 Americas Championship 2015 and averaged 4.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists as the only lower level player on the team. It's a bit questionable if Jones will play in Canada though as he may decide instead to head to Duke University ahead of time.

With University of Kansas head coach Bill Self coaching the USA team, it would seem a certainty that Quentin Grimes will be on the team in St. Catherines since the combo guard is one of the Jayhawks' top recruits for next season. Darius Garland is a great all-around talent heading to Vanderbilt while Darius Bazley is a long, athletic wing who has decided to pass up a scholarship to Syracuse to go to the G-League next season. And Tyler Herro is a great shooter on his way to Kentucky and coach John Calipari.

Canada at FIBA U18 Americas Championship 2018

The hosts of the U18 Americas event will also have a player from the Hoop Summit, though it seems almost certain that it will be just one. RJ Barrett was named MVP in leading Canada to their historic title at the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup 2017, and the superstar is actually eligible to play in St. Catherines. But it seems like a stretch that he will play at the U18 Americas event as a big most likely one-and-done season awaits at Duke in the fall.

That's not to say that Canada fans should be down on their team, which will be coached by Dave Smart. They have enough talent to definitely challenge the United States with Andrew Nembhard expected to be one of their absolute leaders. He played alongside Barrett all season and won the US high school title with Montverde, and the fantastic playmaker also has international experience, playing at the FIBA U16 Americas Championship 2015 and FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup 2016 - both times as a lower level player.

Argentina at FIBA U18 Americas Championship 2018

The third team that will have someone from the Hoop Summit in St. Catherines will be Argentina with Leandro Bolmaro. The lanky wing, who hit two big three-pointers for six points in the fourth quarter of the Hoop Summit, was the leading scorer for Argentina at the South American U17 Championship 2017 with 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

Brazil at FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Americas Qualifiers

Sticking with South American powerhouses, let's move to Brazil at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Americas Qualifiers, where the 19-year-old Yago Dos Santos will likely continue to develop his relationship with some of the country's top players in the June/July window. The small point guard, who had four points, five rebounds and three assists in the Summit, played in the first two windows and averaged 6.3 points, 3.3 assists 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in Brazil's four wins.

Australia at FIBA U18 Asian Championship 2018

Moving to Asia for the FIBA U18 Asian Championship 2018 and Australia have a nice addition to the team that finished second at the recent 2018 Albert Schweitzer Tournament in Germany with Josh Green, who had 11 points and three assists in the Summit. Green is an athletic guard who would be making his debut with Australia and would team up well with Kody Stattmann and Sam Froling as the Emus play at their first U18 Asian tournament with the determined goal to get back to the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup, which they missed in 2017 for the first time.

France at the FIBA U20 European Championship 2018

There will be history at stake for France at the FIBA U20 European Championship 2018 as the 1998-born group looks to accomplish the generational three-peat after winning the FIBA U16 European Championship 2014 and FIBA U18 European Championship 2016. Bathiste Tchouaffe, who picked up two points in the Summit, was named to the All-Star Five of the U16 tournament and is the captain of the generation.

Jaylen Hoard, who played a huge role in the World Select Team's win with 11 points, 15 rebounds and two assists, is actually a member of the 1999-born generation but he will be a major help for France at the U20 level. He was the second-leading scorer at the FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup 2016 at 22.4 points, including 41 points against Korea - which had evened a competition single game scoring record until Dzanan Musa of Bosnia and Herzegovina broke it later in the tournament.

Mali at FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup 2018

Speaking of the FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup, Mali big man N'Faly Dante also played at that 2016 spectacle in Zaragoza - albeit as a 14-year-old and he averaged 2.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. Dante, who had two points and three rebounds in the Summit, did not play at the FIBA U16 African Championship 2017, where Mali won their first ever men's title to qualify for the U17 World Cup again. Dante coming to Argentina would drastically improve Mali's chances of grabbing a couple of wins, especially as he would team up with big man Oumar Ballo.

Nigeria at the FIBA U18 African Championship 2018

Okay, this one actually probably won't happen but Charles Bassey, who collected 13 points and 16 rebounds in the Summit, is eligible to play for Nigeria at the FIBA U18 African Championship 2018. Nigeria have not played a youth continental tournament since the FIBA U16 African Championship 2015 and the last U18 event Nigeria played at was in 2012.

So, the Nike Hoop Summit may be over but many of the players from that game will take their spot on the international stage across the globe this summer.
