Ayayi and Dossou Yovo should be the team's best prospects. France finished 3rd at the 2018 European qualifier.

I follow of youth competitons, Euro u20 and World Cup u19 .Last World Cup u19 was good .Canada looked impressive,Italy also deserved praises . Fiba deserved praises,due live streamings on their Youtube channel ,one of the small things which are good .I like time of games,by the day ,and good is date by calendar .In period when none competition,between end of club season and beginning of Euro u20 .I dont know rules of participation in this competition ,I suppose continental competition u18 is qualificational . There arent Spain ,its hendicap .

[Nemanja]

Serbia like always on youth competions . Play by template,with luck of creation and problematich shoots,solid defense and physical abilities and good rebound . None players which is extraordinary talent with wide of possibilities,Pecarski,Petrusev,Ilic and Trifunovic are better then others .

Need to consider ,in Serbia young players also who become great players,in youth competitions ,didnt distinguished so much,from others .Bogdanovic is unique player which was out of template ,last 10 years .In China,Haowen Guo had potential ,good shoot,height,in postiional attack in early period of attack on drive, he forced defenders of Serbia to foul .

Mali made historical win ,against of best European national team,impressive ,impressive success for one African national team,which isnt on peak in the Africe on senior level .

[JGX]

Great win for Mali despite the absence of Oumar Ballo, only some terrible free throw shooting in the fourth quarter kept it from being a total blowout. I didn't know coaches were allowed to wear suits in FIBA youth competitions.

These World Cup promos with Kobe and Dirk are atrocious.

You are full of crap . All Serbian big guys are very talented , plus Koprivica and Smailagic are missing. Petrusev and Ilic are likely NBA bound players . Petrusev offensively is a full package he has great stroke from three point line as well but he's not allowed to shoot it under Bucan . Trifunovic is interesting player as well as Paunovic .

For the first time the Philippines is taller in the 4 and 5 positions. We are hella undersized in the 3 position though. Our wing guys are 6’4/6’5.

Who tells Serbian players have luck of talent ? I wrote about template and luck of creativity .I mentioned Ilic,Petrusev,Pecarski and Triufnovic like talented players,but yet they have not extradionary talent .Petrusev ,in some sense have ofensive wide,but unenogh concrete in any direction ,today what show to a large degree is because unmaturity of players China,especially on rebound and on rim .3points,how I comment that,when China everything defended under block or in zone 2-3. About Nba potentially players , its preetty early for such predictions,every national team in this competiton had 1 or 2 playerw which in some circumstances could play in Nba.Doesnt exception national team of Serbia .

[Nemanja]

About game Mali-Latvia ,Mali demonstated quick,strong play, 22 offensive rebound,17 steals,7 blocks .Provoked shoots of Latvia,excellent good rim ,forced transition,in some cases, they hurry . Obvious technical problems,many shoots were rectilinear , lack of sense in estimations .Their pg Kanoute was best on court , quick,cagey player ,which weared Mali ,Coulibaly also deserved to mention them ,pf with solid shoot ,physical qualities,quick,good dribling,solid vision of play .Despite,lose could notice Latvia is better team ,they have not a strength in rim, shoots could be a better ,they have good pass,but sometimes they too much combine ,but also they were forced ,because Mali chased away from rim.Kurucs in Latvia demonstrated quality ,wide repertoire ,atypical player ,good vision of play ,left handed ,good pass .

France won againt Puerto Rico which played elegant,beauty,there are two players with creativty and mobility pg Rodriguez and Perez sg,sf.Problem of Puerto Rico is rotation ,lack of good players . France didnt showed high level of basketball,almost worrying play . Like Serbia , template play there are not convincing play ,wihout players which had defined quality ,maybe except Ayayi ,solid were Dimanche,Choupasse and Niasse .France used lack Puero Rico s height and weight and own good athleticity to get 29 offensive rebounds . Markedly is none power forward or center in France which did something really good ,and that is more markedly because played agains Puerto Rico,which had most problems there .
