Marquette’s Royce Parham will get a chance to measure himself this summer against some of the country’s best young basketball players.

Parham, a rising sophomore for the Golden Eagles, is one of 33 players selected to participate in USA Basketball’s U19 training camp that begins June 14 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

A USA Junior National Team Committee will then select 12 players to compete in the FIBA U19 Men’s World Cup June 28-July 6 in Switzerland.  

Parham averaged 5.1 points and 2.2 rebounds over 34 games as a freshman for MU. The 6-foot-8 forward was the team’s youngest player. He will turn 19 on July 31.

He is one of seven players who competed in college basketball last season to be invited to the USA Basketball training camp.

The other invitations belong to some of the country’s best young hoops prospects, including A.J. Dybantsa, the No. 1 recruit in the 2025 class who will play at BYU next season, and Tyran Stokes, the top-ranked player in the 2026 class.

The U19 team will be coached by Arizona’s Tommy Lloyd, with Notre Dame’s Micah Shrewsberry and Texas Tech’s Grant McCasland as assistants.
