BRNO (Czechia) - Believe the hype when it comes to Jazzy Davidson after the USA rising star recorded a phenomenal and record-breaking performance efficiency valuation at the FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup 2025 for a USA Basketball player.
Many of the biggest names in female hoops such as Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark have appeared under this jersey at various editions down the years.
That's amazing... It's really special
Yet none have matched the incredible efficiency tally of 40 that Davidson racked up in the 114-40 success against Israel.
On absolute fire, she posted an eye-popping 11 of 13 from the floor on her way to 24 points, while also handing out 8 dimes, grabbing 4 steals, 4 boards and even swatting 2 shots. All of it in just 23 minutes.
"If that's true about the efficiency then that's amazing because there are a lot of great players who have played for USA that I look up to. It's really special," said Davidson right after the game. "I just think my teammates just put me into really great positions tonight and they made great passes so it made it really easy to get great shots.
"I also love passing to my teammates and rewarding them for running the floor - all of them do such a great job in that. "As a team we performed really well," she added.
