Paige Bueckers has a new nickname for Team USA's young core

When Team USA invited 18 players for the training camp at Duke University, 10 of the players on the list had never played for the USA's senior basketball team. It was not just important for the future, but also for the overwhelming talent these young players brought.

The opportunity is not just a big step for Paige Bueckers, but also a rare opportunity to learn from the best in the business

"Our generation and our young core is the 'young and turnt' core, so that's the kind of vibe that we want to bring to this camp," Bueckers told USA Today on Thursday.

"There's some vets and there's the older class who have already come in and won gold medals and they have that experience. So as a younger group you want to ask them questions, soak it up, be a sponge, get their experience, and then grow in our experience."

Team USA has been dominating on the global stage for a long time now. For years, the team has kept veteran presence at the core, but the new training camp has a bit of an altered approach.
