Jeter, who played at Vanderbilt before transferring to Pitt, averaged 8.0 points and 3.0 rebounds last season for Maine, which also has another local talent, 6-7 forward Maverick Rowan, who played at Lincoln Park.
The U.S. women’s team consists of USA gold medalists in Connecticut teammates Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Christyn Williams, and Oregon players Ruthy Hebard and Sabrina Ionescu.
The 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo will feature 3×3 basketball for the first time.
