Cedevita's point guard Džanan Musa earned himself the All-star five honour at the U17 World Cup, where he led BiH to ninth place and placed himself at the top of the scorers' list and list of players ranked by efficiency rating.

The U17 World Cup in Zaragoza has been all about Džanan Musa, not only when it comes to Bosnia and Herzegovina national team. Young Cedevita's point guard shined in every way and was undisputedly the first name of his team and one of the leading names of the whole tournament.

Musa finished the tournament as its top scorer by averaging 34 points per contest and as the most efficient of all players, taking into account the player efficiency rating (27.7 per game).

Besides that, it's worth repeating that Musa entered the history books, as he set the new all-time U17 World Cup single game scoring record in the game against Chinese Taipei. He scored 50 points and improved the highest mark ever achieved by any player at U17 World Cups in a single game. Previous scoring record was 41 points achieved by Jalen Howard and Isaac Humphries. And perhaps the most impressive information - he did it in only 27 minutes spent on court in that game.

Therefore it is no surprise that Džanan Musa was named a member of U17 World Cup all-star five, alongside MVP Collin Sexton and Wendell Carter of the USA, Arnas Velička of Lithuania and Sergi Martinez of Spain.
