Lithuanian talents.

[Toruko]

You a little bit overestimate few games that you seen of Murauskas in Eurocup (he was really low key there because of the coach's vision) or thinking that Lelevicius and Krivas are mere youth players All three would be huge for mid tier LKL clubs, even among leaders. All three will be legit, you can count on that. I will only remind you that 17yo Krivas and 18yo Lelevicius were already balling well for U19 WC team 2 summers ago. They will be cooking, you can count on that.

Spain may very well be most talented. The way Nunez looking in BBL German playoffs...Dude's for real. Real NBA prospect, IMO. Nevertheless, Lithuania to me seem to be having all what it takes to go against anyone. Role players as Jocys, Sargiunas, Mockus, Kublickas are very quality too.

Well, I can just count what I can see. There are lots of players who have made a bigger jump thats all.

Nunez, Robin Dominguez, Almansa, Caicedo. Yes, that is the best if they will have all pieces. With that I agree, but Lithuania can still fight for gold.

Every team of these five teams can fight for Gold but Spain and France are the favourites

Fair. 2004 though.

Dates of youth tournaments this summer. Definitely will watch U20 and U18 closely. As for U16 will probably stick to first game and the knock out unless some huge talents would take over my attention.

U20 is very important, cause Lelevicius and Murauskas are very important pieces for LTU long run and U18 have even more potential long term pieces - Jakucionis, Indrusaitis, Laurencikas, Padegimas. U18 candidates not yet announced, but since U20 will combine 2003 and 2004 age groups, there's no doubt U18 will consist from 2005, 2006 and 2007 (Buika).

Ironically main protagonists of both NTs may be a year younger guys. '

Short, but basically spot on scouting report on Rubstavicius. I think he withdraw from this year though as he should have better chances in 2024:

In my opinion 2006 generation would beat 2005. As united this team is extremely stacked. Jakucionis, Laurencikas, Indrusaitis, Padegimas those I treat as elite prospects and Stuknys probably as well. But then solid prospects as Zygas, Stonkus, Raupelis. This team is stacked as fuck. Maybe only truly dominant big is missing, but Raupelis is pretty athletic and Bieliauskas is playable. Anything but medals would be huge upset. Deepest guard talent in Europe without question.
