  • Rising Stars at WC

    Who do you think are the five best players aged 23 or younger at this year's World Cup?

    I'll go with

    1. Domantas Sabonis
    2. Furkan Korkmaz
    3. Juancho Hernangomez
    4. Rui Hachimura
    5. Jock Landale

    EDIT: I forgot all the good USA players: Turner, Taytum, Brown, Mitchell.

    From internationals Sabonis is by far the best, but he won't be used at 5 all that much (his natural position) and there's no chemistry between him and JV yet, so I'm not sure how good he will be. At 5 he would be destroying most of frontlines.

    Korkmaz seems to be growing into a heck of a player. But against top teams he my struggle because he loves rather open basketball.

    I doubt Juancho will be big. I would mention Frank Ntilikina as possible surprise. He's talented, just needs more time, but be big in some games.

    As for USA, it's between Tatum and Mitchell.

      Mitchell from USA, Luzada from Brazil, Korkmaz from Turkey, Nembhard from Canada, Balcerowski from Poland, Qi Zhou from China, Nwora from Nigeria and Hachimura from Japan. All these can provide boost to their teams. Sabonis is an option too, but as a five not four position. Londale and Juancho are older(24).

      My pick will be Qi.

          They're 23. But thanks for adding so many names to the list. I am particularly intrigued by Balcerowski and Qi.

              He is 23. He hasn't turned 24 yet. He turns 24 in October.

                Josh Okogie from Nigeria, Isaiah Piñeiro from Puerto Rico, Eduardo Mingas from Angola, Bruno Caboclo from Brazil, Georgios Papagiannis from Greece, Isaac Bonga or Andreas Obst from Germany (I think only one will make it), Andrew Nembhard from Canada.
