Swedens team for the U18 B Championship:

Fredrik Andersson, Borås Basket
Filip Asante, Fryshuset Söder Basket
William Asplund, Södertälje BBK
Tobias Borg, Södertälje Kings
Jesper Eliasson, Solna Vikings
Hannes Erhardt, Malbas
Hajzer Ismaili, Marbo Basket
Niklas Larsson, Solna Vikings
Sebastian Schüszler, KFUM Blackeberg
Marcus Eriksson, Manresa (ESP)
Adrian Thorängen, Sanda BG
Kevin Tumba, Ullvi BBK
Jonathan Person, Virtus Bologna (ITA)
William Magarity, Biella (ITA)
Nicholas Spires, FC Barcelona (ESP)

Its a travesty that this team has to compete in the B division. I personally feel that anything but a 20+ point differential in every game is a failure. Really.
I suspect that Bulgaria will have a good team as well as Hungary with Dobos and perhaps Israel (although I have no idea what talent they have on this team) but really, the Swedish team should be very, very competitive if nothing unexpected occures.
Anyone with info on Macedonia and other teams?

i am pretty suprised to see mavra and mazic in our team

there was rumor that mavra refused to play for any cro selection and i did not know that mazic is croat. i i thought he is bosnian, czech or italian


anyway, i expect next team:

pg: junakovic, mazic, cubric ( mustapic )
sg: mavra, brzoja, buovac
sf:ramljak, saric
pf:vukovic, krstanovic
c:bundovic, mikulic

i dont know what is point to play this preparation turnaments while more then half team missing. and mavra and mazic joined team couple days ago. they only embarrass themself

mazic was born in czech republic, grove up in croatia, his origins are bosnian and now he is intaly where i tink he also has italian passport. he played in croatian u-14 selections, then some friendlys for chech republic. when he was kid evryone was thriled for this kid, by now he become average prospect, tough still quite intruiging tough. his bigest problem is guy who should help him most in his life. it's his father who i guess living in dreams of having lot of $$$....Took him trough few Croatian clubs, last one was I think Zagreb, then moved him in Italy can't remeber wich club, then finally finished in Benetton. Moved him trough two NT's and was in contacts with Italian and B&H NT's as well. He was in team from start but had injured knee after first or 2nd game

He is bit like Zoran Planinić with better shooting skills

if full roster without crnjevic and co...it will be very ofensivly talented team, but besides ramljak, buovac and brzoja non of this won't even tray to play defense. and again we will strugle under basket. vukovic and mikulic are raw, skiny but iteresting pf's, bundovic is skilled under baseket but lacks strenght and size, krstanovic is average, while madunic is just tall. i just hope full game plan won't be like with brajkovic...give saric ball and evrybody spred....

to bad this kid is injured, he could help a lot on defense

Spain and Poland, IMHO the 2 best teams in the tournament, will play 2 friendly games tomorrow and on monday.

BTW is any polish TV broadcasting the first phase or only semifinals and final?

[carlo]

Spain beat Poland 68-60 in their first friendly.

In the home team didn't play stars Ponitka and Karnowski.

High scorers:

Spain: Jaime Fernandez & Julen Olaizola, 13 pts

Poland: Filip Matczak 16 pts and Piotr Niedzwiedzki 14.

[carlo]

Italy edged Slovenia 84-81 (36-42) in the second friendly played in Sezana (SLO).

Italy high scorers: Gaspardo (15) and Della Valle (13).

The 12 Italian finalists should be announced today.

[sagenas]

Final Lithuanian roster has been announced:

Tomas Dimša
Marius Grigonis
Artūras Gudaitis
Tauras Jogėla
Simonas Kymantas
Lukas Lekavičius
Tomas Lekūnas
Mantas Mockevičius
Rokas Narkevičius
Osvaldas Olisevičius
Martynas Paliukėnas
Paulius Semaška

Players who were leaders in last two tournaments (Jogėla and Mockevičius) aren't in the good shape right now, Semaška had very bad season while the biggest surprise may be A.Gudaitis who was very good in NJIT tournament last season and was leading player in MKL. As I've heard, he is well-built but myself I haven't seen him playing so far..

3 players are year younger (born in 1994) - Lekavičius, Grigonis, Dimša.
