LAUSANNE (Switzerland) – Thiago Sucatzky etched his name in the record books of the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup 2025 as the Argentina point guard dished out 14 assists, tying the all-time high in competition history.
“Thanks to my teammates for trusting me in the whole process,” said Sukatzky after the game. “Without them I couldn’t do anything.”
Sucatzky also chipped in 14 points and 3 rebounds in Argentina’s 85-67 win over Cameroon in Classification 9-16 action.
The resemblance to another Argentinian star floor general is uncanny – and no coincidence.
“Facundo Campazzo is my idol. When I was a kid I always watched him and wanted to be like him.”
Sucatzky had dished out a total of 16 assists in Argentina’s first four games, highlighted by 8 in their win over Serbia.
The record is shared by France’s Alexandre Bouzidi set in 2023 against Madagascar.
