well, might be... but the bball publicity is still used of better results and if U20 would get relegated, with the U18 and U16 managing the same the year before, it can't be just a matter of bad generation... but more of bad generations.
the truth is that compared to 10 years ago there are half less local small clubs working seriously with the youth.
I haven't paid as much attention to younger cathegories lately as I used to, but 've seen Z. Dragič and Bilič few years back... as well as Tomič already in his primary school days... I think that with some proper playing time and some trust by their coach they might develope into some servicable players. As you said not some extra talent (although imo both Dragič and Tomič have the potential for that, or at least had one at certain point of their careers, especialy Tomič) but servicable guys that can play euroleague... i mean D. Lorbek got to play for NT and I'd curse my brain out that will never happen with his level of talent 4-5 years ago... let's just wait for some more surprises
