  • Mouratos is very quick but shoots worse than Calathes. Like everyone else on this team, I hope he gets playing time in some minor A1 team this year. It did wonders for Koniaris.

    • Seriously some Kiltinavicius decisions in this tournament were just plain stupid !

      First in the game against Israel having leader Varnas on the bench in the 4 quarter big moments, and now taking in the final minute Birutis of and putting Dieninis in i guess for a more mobile defence, '' dont fix it if it ain't broke '' because of not being Birutis there who finished with 12 rebs and 17pts Greece took two f#cinkg offencive rebounds which ended up with a backstab a 3 f#cinkg pointer

      Both Youth teams of U19 and U20 were good but the coaches were less than amateur.
      Lithuania

        Soulis did a great job with Koniaris in Paok, but now they appointed Papatheodorou If he had stayed in Paok, Charalampopoulos could explode as well. They never got any real chance in Pao, like it's the case with Bochoridis.

          Kulbolka was a credit at the World U19 championships, but only to Lithuania's playoff opponents. To his own team he was a complete arsonist and the team would have done better had he missed the plane to Cairo.

            Simanic played and it didn't help Serbia one bit. Big time win for France.

              Charalampopoulos had 7 or 9 straight on Birutis. He couldn't guard him away from the basket.

Also he is scoring with his others weapons, penetrations (he has very strong legs) and running the court. Also he good on defense and goes to the rebound good, too. If he continue working, he can be a very useful player for Real Madrid, and for our senior NT.
                Yusta is generaly underated. Sometimes people tend to make mistake, misjudging a great 3point shooter for a great talent, while in fact shooting isn't all you need at higher levels and Yusta wasn't shineing with his shooting abilities 2-3 years ago when I've seen him. He has a really nice upside in my opinion, was the best player in junior Real team along with Dončič in the recent period. Dončič got the hype due to age, Dos Anjos due to his height, Radončić due to potential and I rarely saw Yusta getting the same kind of attention, which is a shame.

                CoachZ, as far as Šiško, rumours are he is a headcase. At least that's why Olimpija supposedly ignored him for the next season. His dad was also a top-notch talent in ex-Yu but than just stopped playing at one point.

                • We were very close to win, but didn't survive in this drama. Our main pg failed in the tournament. I'm satisfied with the bigs though.

                    There wasn't anything wrong with Birutis defence against Charalampopoulos on the 3 point line Charalampopoulos was simply raw.

                    • To me it's complete mysticism why our most creative player played of the ball entire tourament... Magnificent coaching...Even such robot shooters as Berucka was messing around all night long...

                          they blew them out in every part of the game, great job. Last year they had done the same, +20pts, strange.

                            Credit to the one and only ODED KATASH, great coach.

                            The offence looks amazing, endless pick'n'rolls + weak side cutting.

                            A lot of transition game points.

                            Thats how modern basketball looks like
