Stanford Basketball Roundup, July
It may be the offseason, but Stanford basketball players past and future have been making news this month.
Oscar da Silva
The versatile da Silva is part of Jerod Haase’s much-heralded incoming recruiting class. Earlier this month he competed with Team Germany in the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup in Egypt. He put up impressive averages of 10.3 points, 4 boards, 2 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game, while shooting 57.1% from the field over the seven game tournament. Da Silva notched 18 points and four steals to lead Germany to victory in the fifth-place game over basketball juggernaut Lithuania. Interestingly enough, the USA finished third behind Canada and Italy.
