USA vs. Spain U17 Semifinals Live Stream: How to Watch USA Basketball Online

The United States' U17 men's basketball team has been dominant thus far at the world championships in Kaunus, Lithuania with a 6-0 record, and the squad will look to continue that fine play when it takes on Spain in the semifinals on Saturday. The USA is heavily favored, but Spain has a penchant for being a tough out in basketball tournaments of all kinds.

No team has really tested the United States thus far as head coach Don Showalter's up-tempo attack has been too much for overmatched nations to handle. Team USA features all of the best high school players from across the country, most of whom will be playing at top collegiate programs in the near future, and some of whom may ultimately end up in the NBA.

If the United States wants a chance to play for the world championship against either Croatia or Australia, it must first clear the Spanish hurdle in front of it.

Here is everything you need to know about when and where to catch the world's preeminent high school basketball tournament.

Where: Kaunus, Lithuania

Team USA Player to Watch: Jahlil Okafor

There are a ton of top-notch players worth keeping an eye on when Team USA takes on Spain, including the apparent top high school player in the country in Jabari Parker, but dominant big man Jahlil Okafor has stolen the show thus far. Parker is set to graduate ahead of Okafor, so there is now plenty of talk that Okafor will assume Parker's position as top high school player when that comes to fruition.

It is easy to see why, as the 6'10" Okafor from Chicago has done pretty much whatever he has pleased during the world championships. Okafor leads the team with 13.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game despite playing just over 20 minutes per contest as the minutes are distributed quite evenly. Okafor already has a stout body that makes him capable of tearing up major college basketball, but first he figures to make life miserable for Spain.

Prediction

Spain is no pushover as it lost by just five points to undefeated Croatia, but the talent gap between the Spaniards and the United States is obvious. The Americans' smallest margin of victory thus far has been 22 points over the Aussies and that will remain true as the stacked Team USA vanquishes Spain by a score of 92-68 to reach the tournament finals.
