The Rising Star of the FIBA ​​U19 World Cup in 2021-Rafael Pinzon, Forward, Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico probably left Latvia a bit disappointed with their 14th place finish, but they have to be happy with the performance of Pinzon, who kind of formed a Big Three with Aaron Clark and Phillip Wheeler.

Pinzon tried to help make up for the absence of Julian Strawther in getting others involved and he showed his excellent passing ability and decision making on the break. It seems he has a bright future for Puerto Rico and part of the next generation along with Strawther and Andre Curbelo.

Pinzon did not shoot the ball from long range as well as he could, but he did a lot of other things well. In addition to leading the team in scoring and assists, he was second in rebounds.
