    Young is expected to be a lotto pick next year... DraftExpress has him going at 8.

    No idea if that's warranted, this is the first I've seen him play.
    I had no idea that was the same guy. I was intrigued about that guy a few months ago when I ran across his profile. For a guy who's supposed be a beast, he didn't do much to slow down Valanciunas. Good sign. Not for You, though.

        Wow, 52-39 rebounding edge for the Lithuanians. Losing back to back games against the same team for a combined -62 point differential is NOT a good sign. How good is next years draft class supposed to be again?
        LET'S GO RAP-TORS!!!!!

            This was U-19, the last game was USA U19 vs LIT U20. Also, the USA players were mostly just finished college freshman.

                i don't think the American junior team usually does very well at these do they? i wouldn't put a lot of stock in this win, but it is nice to see.

                  Man is this kid active.
                  Scroll through the play by play and you'll see that there's some sort of activity by him every few lines in the 2nd and 3rd.

                    To be fair, there were only a couple of projected first rounders playing for the Americans. Young and Lamb, although Marshall may sneak in there, as well.

                      Plus, the Lithuanians have probably played together A LOT more than the Americans.

                        Some really young kids out there for Lithuania as well. One kid looked like he was 14. The size and positioning of the Lithuanians gave USA fits today.

                        They made almost no passes to get them out of place. Talent wise they looked superior to LTU (when one on one, they dominated), team wise, they had no game plan and very little ball movement. Often one guy would get stuffed by 3 LTU jerseys.

                              Jonas was impressive today, the complete opposite of Bargnani; rebounds, hustles, wants contact, gives good screens, and most importantly, doesn't stand beyond the 3-point line. He should be a lock for Eurobasket 2011 with Lithuania hosting the competition this summer.

                                Come on though, you got to give Jonas and his squad a bit more credit for blowing the Americans out of the building. Plus, I'm pretty sure he was the man of the match.
