In this story:
Omer Mayer continues to shine on the FIBA circuit. On Monday, the 6-foot-4 guard recorded a double-double, leading Israel to 91-75 victory over Poland to conclude group play in the FIBA U20 EuroBasket.
The Purdue guard scored 24 points and dished out 11 assists in the victory, posting his first double-double during his work in FIBA. He also had three steals and a rebound, and connected one 10-of-17 shots from the floor.
Israel concluded group play with a perfect 3-0 record and will now head to the Round of 16, which is scheduled to begin Wednesday, July 16.
I initially laughed it off when my guy @ryanhammer09 said someone told him Omer Mayer was an Israeli Carsen Edwards.
