TINTON FALLS -- Scottie Lewis will represent his country in international competition for the first time this spring.

The Ranney senior wing was named on Thursday to the 12-man United States roster for the Nike Hoop Summit, which will be played on April 12 at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. The Moda Center is the 19,000-seat home of the Trail Blazers.

Panthers classmate and future Villanova Wildcat Bryan Antoine, who along with Lewis was named a McDonald's All-American last month, was left off the Team USA roster. While Antoine was left off, two other Villanova commits were selected in four-star guard Justin Moore and five-star forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.

Lewis being selected for an international event with USA Basketball marks a significant step forward for the University of Florida recruit. Last May, both Lewis and Antoine tried out for the U-18 National Team, which eventually won gold at the FIBA Americas U-18 Championship.

Neither player lasted past the first round of cuts, from 33 candidates down to 18. Both players were invited back for a USA Basketball mini-camp October, and both are expected to be invited to trials for the U-19 National Team. The U-19 FIBA World Cup will be held from June 29-July 7 in Greece.

At the Hoop Summit, the United States will play a 12-man World Team, comprised of international prospects. Some of those 12 play their high school basketball in the United States, while some are playing internationally. The World Team has yet to be released.

As is the case in the days leading up to the McDonald's Game in Atlanta, Lewis and the rest of the participants at Hoop Summit will have the opportunity to work out in front of NBA personnel, Lewis is currently the projected No. 4 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, via ESPN. That same way-too-early mock selection has Antoine slotted at No. 10.

Later Thursday, before No. 1 seed Ranney defeated 17th-seeded Jackson Liberty, 94-39, in the Shore Conference Tournament's round of 16, Lewis and Antoine were honored by receiving their McDonald's All-American Game jerseys. The two are the second and third-ever Shore Conference products to play at McDonald's, joining 1987 Christian Brothers Academy graduate John Crotty.

Lewis finished with a game-high 26 points and Alex Klatsky hit for 18 on 6-for-6 shooting from deep as the Panthers, last season's SCT winner, will oppose eighth-seeded Middletown South in an SCT quarterfinal on Sunday.
