The American Championship, Group C Venezuela vs Panama match will be held on September 2, 10:10 AM (International Time) and September 2, 7:40 PM (Indian Time).
Venezuela vs Panama will go head to head in American Championship on September 2, i.e on Friday. Jalen Duren, the 2022 American Athletic Conference rookie of the year, was chosen 13th overall, while Josh Minott was chosen 45th. The Charlotte Hornets originally picked both players, but Duren’s rights were later moved to Detroit via the New York Knicks while Minott’s rights were traded to Minnesota. As a freshman for the Tigers in 2021–2022, Duren, the third first-round pick coached by Memphis in the draft and the 16th first-round pick in Memphis history, had an immediate impact. He led the team in scoring (12.0 PPG), rebounding (8.1 RPG), blocked shots per game (2.1), and field goal percentage (.597). For Memphis, he made 29 starts, helping the team qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2014 in the process.
The native of Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania, was named to the first team for the league, and his 61 blocked shots this past season ranked third among freshmen in school history. Minott was one of three Tigers to play in all 33 games in 2021–22, demonstrating his significant potential during his lone season in Memphis. Minott, a Boca Raton, Florida native, was named to the AAC All-Freshman Team and was the first freshman in the country in the previous 12 seasons to record at least 30 assists, 25 thefts, and 20 blocks while averaging less than 15.0 minutes per game.
