Apparently Johann Chua is still in the U.S and is playing in the Chinhook Winds event. Maybe one of the US boys can set up a match on a big table against Johann.

This is a short list of players at the event..
Dennis, Shane VanBoening, Warren Kiamco, Rodney Morris, Skyler Woodward, Chip Compton, Jefferey DeLuna, Joey Gray, Roberto Gomez, Amar Kang, Danny Smith, Josh Roberts, Billy Thorpe, Stan Tourangeau, M Vidal Claramunt, Taylor TK Anderson

Honestly think only SVB can take him playing 10 ball. I was watching a stream somewhere (I think DCC 14.1) and the commentators were saying that Chua's backers had a tough time finding games for him because everyone else wanted weight. They said Chua is gonna have to learn how to play one-pocket to get action from US players (or give up weight)
 
He can get played.

Dennis, Shane, Jefferey DeLuna, Josh Roberts, Billy Thorpe any of these guys can play him.

The orignal post said U.S. players, so that would leave out Dennis and DeLuna out. I wouldn't think Josh Roberts would like playing Johann 10 ball. I am not sure about Thorpe's big table 10 ball game, but I would be betting on Johann in that one.
 
If you're a believer in the Fargorate system you'll see he's listed at #16. 1 point difference between him and dechaine.
 
The only American player I would like playing Chua 10-Ball is Shane. We have to face the facts, U.S. players aren't what they used to be.

This is the more accurate assessment.
I would say Johann together Ko Ping Chung are top 2 young players under 25 now-future World Champions. Johann is fearless and can rock and roll, shuffle dance, tango with the elites. IMHO, Skyler and Thorpe are below these 2. I like Jeff Ignacio but he does not have the firepower of these 2. Elsewhere, Aloysius Yap showed promise at W9B 1 to 2 years but has fallen off the radar. Francisco Sanchez Ruiz is lurking around but he hasn't gone deep last 4 or last 8 of major tourneys like W9B, USO, China Open, Kuwait Open.
Joshua Filler showed up few years ago with a bang but a matter of time before he goes deep in some majors
Probably, the country producing most young guns now is Poland with a bunch of them led by Szew, Sniego regularly entering major tourneys
