Ok Serbia 54-71 Lithuania, the game was pretty close especially in 3rd quarter. 18pts, 13rebs and 3blcks for JV, yet only 43% shooting (6/14). I guess he faced some decent opposition in the paint for the first time in the tournament.
Looking forward for the rematch with USA 2:30pm local time aka 6:30am EST tomorrow.

RIGA (FIBA U19 World Championship) – One week ago the USA had just arrived in Europe and were given a wakeup call by Lithuania in their final preparation game for the FIBA U19 World Championship.
One week on and the two teams are preparing to meet on Tuesday in a preview of the final that many would like – and expect – to see.
Coming off Monday’s victory against Serbia - their fourth in as many games – the Americans have gone from major repairs to fine tuning, and USA head coach Paul Hewitt intent on looking forwards, not back.
“You forget about what happened five days ago and worry about the next game," he said. "We played well, they played really well.”
However, Hewitt suggested that when they are on top of their game, Lithuania are almost unplayable.
“If we are going to have a chance we are going to have to play better. And they are going to have to play worse,” he concluded.
Strong words from a coach whose country currently holds the title in all six FIBA World Championship categories.

JV final stat line:
30 and 15 with 4 blks, 1 stl, 1 ast, 1 TO, 11/20 FG, 8/10 FT, 6 offensive rebs, 4 fouls in 37:40.
Young played very well in OT with 8 points finishing with 15/7 and 4 blocks.
I wonder if he still feels JV is not a lottery pick?
