Top players to watch at FIBA 3x3 World Tour Chengdu Masters 2024

CHENGDU (China) - The FIBA 3x3 World Tour is headed back to a favorite Chinese destination and that means some of the best players on the planet are getting ready to put on a show. 

Here are the players you just have to watch during the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Chengdu Masters on June 22-23. 

Strahinja Stojacic (Ub Huishan NE) 

He's watched Jimmer Fredette claim MVP. And Worthy de Jong too. With his biggest rivals making major early season statements, the half-court is suddenly not looking like 'Doctor Strange's' multiverse. 

He hasn't quite hit his GOAT level so far, but never write off a champion because Stojacic is waiting to unleash his very best A-Game in Chengdu. 

To be clear, the moustached menace has still been awesome to start the season and he's attacking the rack with the type of venom we've long grown accustomed to. 

But his rivals have gone up a gear and it's Stojacic's turn to respond. You just know he will. 

 

Dennis Donkor (Riffa)

It's just not fair. 'Dennis the Menace' can shut you down with lockdown D then score a bucket in your face. If he's really mean then he'll put you on a poster. 

An average of 8 ppg so far on the World Tour underlines that he's no defensive specialist. This bad Belgian can score bucket after bucket. 

Donkor might just be the best two-way player in 3x3 because he can do it all on the half-way. He also has the intangibles that can't be shown on the box score. 

Donkor plays with passion and fires up his teammates. He's the heart and soul of Riffa as you'll again see in Chengdu. 

 

Stefan Milivojevic (Partizan)

If there is a heatwave forecast in Chengdu then it's probably because Stefan Milivojevic is arriving in flames. 

The spectacular Serb was on a heater at the FIBA 3x3 Clermont-Ferrand Challenger 2024, where he had ice in his veins as he took over in the clutch. 

He loves taking the shot when the game is on the line, but Milivojevic enjoys nothing more than playing bully ball. He's 'The Gladiator' after all. 

And Milivojevic is ready to make Chengdu his personal Colosseum. 

 

Antonio Ralat (San Juan Church's)

It wasn't just Milivojevic tearing up Clermont-Ferrand because Antonio Ralat was unstoppable in San Juan's runner-up effort as he finished top in points (41). 

Ralat is averaging an insane 7.4 ppg on the pro circuit this season. But the 27-year-old is looking for revenge on the World Tour after a cold-shooting display from deep at the Utsunomiya Opener. 

When he's feeling it, Ralat makes it look like he's in a shoot-out contest because he keeps firing them up and they don't miss!

Ralat is looking to continue his hot streak in Chengdu and lead San Juan to glory on the World Tour. 

 

Henry Caruso (Princeton)

The latest American superstar is a walking triple-five as he showed at the FIBA 3x3 Hongcheon Challenger 2024 when he led Princeton (USA) to the title. 

The 28-year-old has the perfect combination of size and explosiveness to totally dominate the half-court. He's following in the footsteps of numerous American superstars representing the famous Princeton. 

Caruso will be out to lead Princeton to a drought-breaking title on the World Tour and along the way dunk on those who foolishly try to get in his way.
