The Rising Star of the FIBA ​​U19 World Cup in 2021-Jayson Tchicamboud, Guard, France

Tchicamboud came into the tournament knowing that teammate Matthew Strazel would probably need the ball in his hands a lot to leave his mark on the game, but he still found a way to play a key role in getting France to the Final.

Tchicamboud took advantage of his good size at point guard in getting his teammates involved. He also was very efficient scoring, hitting 60.0% from the field, including draining 7-of-12 three-pointers (58.3%), though he struggled from the foul like at just 55.6%.

Tchicamboud also used his length to be a disturbance against opposing point guards while also being able to switch to bigger players. And he was a major reason France reached the Final for the first time in history.
