Carey averaged 11 points and 6.9 rebounds in the tournament that was played in Santa Fe, Argentina. He could become the kind of program-changing player for Miami Basketball that many thought Lonnie Walker would become last season.

Carey was one of two Americans named All-Tournament team. The FIBA Under 17 Tournament is played Bi-Annually.
