U19 FIBA World Championship
This year's edition of the U19 FIBA World Championship just began with the first match being Turkey - Argentina. Nets draftee Juan Pablo Vaulet is playing for Argentina and Turkey has two NBA prospects with #10 Furkan Korkmaz and #15 Egemen Güven
Here's the website where you can check games and stats
http://www.fiba.com/world/u19/2015
And on their Youtube channel every single game will be broadcasted
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYQ0VJk8-fI
NBA prospects to watch are:
USA: Harry Giles, Josh Jackson, Jayson Tatum, Caleb Swanigan
Turkey: Furkan Korkmaz, Egemen Güven, (Okben Ulubay)
Greece: Vasilis Charalampopoulos, Giorgios Papagiannis
Croatia: Dragan Bender, Ante Zizic
Italy: Diego Flaccadori
Spain: Marc Garcia
Serbia: Borisa Simanic
Top favorites should be USA, Turkey, Greece and Croatia
There's rumours that Dragan Bender, Zubac and Zizic can't play for Croatia because Croatia has an exclusive deal with Jordan and they don't allow these players to play with their Adidas shoes. Would be an absolute shame to see the most talented european player miss this tournament because of such a bull**** reason

Bender apparently won't play in the tournament, because he has a contract with Adidas, while the Croatian federations has a contract with Nike. True Story

Same thing happened when Hezonja/Šarić were 17,18. But they had contract with Nike and HKS had with Adidas.
"All these guys who run these organizations who talk about analytics, they have one thing in common: They're a bunch of guys who ain't never played the game, they never got the girls in high school, and they just want to get in the game."

Apparently Bender entered into his contract with Adidas, when Croatian federation still had the contract with them and they changed to Nike after that, so basically they screwed themselves

Yep. HKS at it's best. Their incompetence never seizes to amaze me

Yankuba Sima on Spain looks like a potential prospect.

This is not a good USA team. Iran is taking it to them.

USA's athleticism and pressure is starting to take over. Not a good team though.

The U17 team with their draft class was better and the prior U19 teams were better.

From Greece watch also Tyler Dorsey. Maybe we will have something here.
Charalampopoulos got injured, and most likely will lose the 1st phase

2nd half of the USA - Croatia match just started
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWUhV4DGpb8
Would have been such an interesting matchup if Bender and Mazalin were there.
