Corey Fisher has been named to the American team that will compete in the World University Games this summer in Belgrade, Serbia according to ZagsBlog. The games will take place from July 2 to July 12 and the team will be coached by Wisconsin’s Bo Ryan. The early list of confirmed players includes 4 Big East players (Da’Sean Butler, Devin Ebanks and Lazar Hayward) and just two point guards, with Kansas’ Sherron Collins joining Fisher.
In other international basketball news, Maalik Wayns has been invited to the Under-19 team trials for the 2009 FIBA World Championships. The early list of players confirmed for the trials includes several point guards (notably Kemba Walker and Darryl ‘Truck’ Bryant) so Wayns will have to work hard and perform well to make the team.
…The World University Games roster was apparently chosen by a committee led by Jim Boeheim, and considering Fisher’s performances against the Orange it is not a total surprise to see him on there…good for him…the experience will be great…
…Wayns has already broken onto the international scene last summer so hopefully he can make this team again and gain some valuable experience for his upcoming freshman year…
…Congrats and good luck to both!…
