    Tell me, if I'm to go there, he is a guy to follow then, right?

    What's his team?

    Ok, thanks. I knew Kanter name, just wasn't able to remember where. He played with first squad already at Fener, right?

    I heard about Musli too.

    Last year, for some reason he suddenly decided not to go to the NCAA and stayed with Fener. He played in a few Euroleague games even, and he was not bad at all.

    His height is around 2.08m at 17 years old, but some people say his future is at the SF position. That might negate his current dominance then, but especially if he continues to grow, I think he can stay a PF, where he is a beast.

    Meanwhile the Maltese giant Samuel Deguara (1991 - 2.23 - Benetton Treviso) is tearing up U18 European Championship Division C.

    25.3 points and 23.3 rebounds in 27.0 minutes so far against Moldova, Principality of Monaco and San Marino (whose tallest player is 1.89 btw).

    Ouch! That must hurt...

    Italians were leading the whole game and the ball that gave Lithuania the first lead after a couple of quarters was a dunk and a game winning ball as well.

    Anyways, judging from the stats, it was a terrible game for us - 24 turnovers and italians were allowed to 50% from threes.

    Lithuania - Italy 86:85

    Valanciunas was major, making the game winning dunk, add to 23pts and 14 rb. Peciukevicius - our main pg - 11 turnovers

    I hope it's something like this, but most likely times in gamecast are wrong

    Man it hurts losing like that...

    I don't know why but we always suck under the boards... even with decent height... we miss Melli here... anyway i'm confident on the qualification for the next round. I don't know how Russia and Israel rank but i doubt they're better than Lithuania...

    I also think so, fibaeurope's livescores are not precise with the time (I mean seconds-wise)

    never watched him, but it looks like under the basket he is like fish in wather and it would be wrong to force him to play SF. I remmeber similar thing was with Marko Banic (PF 204) with some idiots forceing him at SF until Danijel Jusup who is solid coach, especialy for developing players took over Zadar and placed him at his neutral position...he turned out just fine and he wasn't near dominant like Kanter...and 208 is very good for PF even for type of PF who plays more on low post then on perimetr

    Probably. On live gamecast, it's usually the case. But what I copied is from the play-by-play, which should(!) be reliable. It's not live afterall.

    On the game report it says Valanciunas hit the equalizer jump shot 4 sec remaining, as shown above. So only sure thing is the rest of the events took place in those 4 secs.
