Lots of hope for this generation, even if the staff decided not to add more 95 while the 94/95 mix seems pretty good (it compares with the one we had for 88 & 89 generations)

Not geting any medal would be quite disappointing, even if the other teams have talented prospects (turkey, spain, serbia, etc.).

[the_black_planet]

Who do you think are the most interesting prospects to keep an eye on?I guess Spires and Nikola Jankovic are among them.Also here in Greece they say very good words for Kyprianos Maragkos of pana.Is there any chance for Saric to play?I think he should,he shouldn't be too tired and with him Croatia is the big favorite.

[raph]

For france charly maraux (already a mini buzz here for him), dallo, racine and inglis (who is very athletic)
Someone who is following insep here added chassang & jaiteh, and he's less high on inglis despite his numbers.

For spain i assume badalona's players's (sanz & horns), for the rest no clue.

Yes he will play but we are not favorites, there are to many problems even 94-95. could be perhaps most talented generation that we ever had from our independence (it is to earley to tell, but i'm pretey sure in that)

hezonja, other posibele star prospect besides saric and member of starting 5 injured hand vey hard and probabley he won't play, herendic one of key players injured and won't play for sure, brzoja curentley 2nd best player is injured consitantly, similar like prostran and he could miss, nicley taleted shooter proleta and PG junakovic were sent home because bad behavior, Saric not being with team, coach changed during preparations because he was beating kidds and throwing chair on them, 210 center bruno beca who left dubrava an went in US refused to sing cotract with our basketball federation in wich player must pay 10-15k euros when becomes senir in return for playing in "U" teams and of corse nepotisam. just for sample, kk zabok coach son, Antonio Crnjevic team was losin over 100 poits per game and he is in team

i don't know and i don't care who will play, all i know this should be our team, not like one or corupted federation will use

Hights are about, from what kids looked to me

unfortunally for us lot of this guys won't be here, while ther will be names like Hrkač, Črnjević...

Very sad to hear that mate,very bad for the country that gave birth to Toni Kukoc,Dino Radja and most of all Drazen Petrovic!

[pohani komarac]

at least some good news for us. brzoja will be ready, not on 100% tough, while new coach called back junakovic

[Levenspiel]

32 points and 29 turnovers in 40 mins from Latvia against Spain.

[raph]

And saric that gonna strike a triple double in his first game.
Very disappointing - statistics wise - game from micic btw.

[xtf_no4]

Big surprise in the beginning with Denmark beating Greece. The Danish team has some talent but I did not believe to could be a threat for Greece which is also featuring some nice players like Maragkos. But Denmark won in the end by two points and three players scoring in double-figures: Peter Moeller, David Knudsen and Rasmus Larsen.
Interesting to see how far they can go...

[pohani komarac]

we beat serbia, saric is beast, just neds to stop overfake him self and make so many ofensive fouls to cut down turnovers. i guess with so many problems saric is still nuff to beat probabley one of toughest rivals. nice games for talented Cedevita duo Air Lebo and Bundovic

[the_black_planet]

Congratulations to Croatia!Guys are there any games going to be televised?It would be awesome to be able to watch the game between Croatia and Serbia btw...
