Colorado Springs, Colorado<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 And then there were 18. USA Basketball announced its 18 finalists to compete for the Junior National U18 Team. The association initially invited 30 players to Colorado Springs, Colorado for a Training Camp that began on May 23 at the US Olympic and Paralympic Training Center.
