Maryland incoming freshman Diamond Stone has been named one of 24 players invited to participate in the 2015 USA Basketball Men’s U19 World Championship Team training camp.
The training camp will take place June 12-16 at the United State Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., and will be used to select the 12-member roster for the 2015 USA U19 World Championship Team.
Stone was a member of the 2014 USA U-17 World Championship Team and was named to the FIBA U-17 World Championship All-Tournament Team. He averaged 13.6 points and 7.2 rebounds and led the USA U-16 Team to a gold medal and a 5-0 record in tournament play.
A McDonald’s All-American, Stone is rated as a consensus top-10 player by a myriad of national recruiting services and one of the highest-rated recruits to join Maryland in recent years.
Stone, who starred at Dominican High School in Milwaukee, Wis., led his high school team to four straight state championships. As a senior, he averaged 24.4 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game. He established a Wisconsin state record with 14 blocked shots in the 2012 state semifinal and also finished the game with a triple-double, notching 15 points, 15 rebounds and 14 blocks. Stone was named Wisconsin Associated Press Player of the Year as a senior.
