U21 NT-Overview

This season everthing revolves around the big-three on PG/SG/SF, supported by two average PF/C and some younger prospects …..

PG-SG-SF
We've got three great players for these positions with Kempf, Schwarz and Hu. If one of them is out of shape or injured, Csenesits is their backup. Kröll and Kumar are the best we've got behind that.

Roster
(46464843) Felix Kempf - 21 yr - $30 104 - Pot. 9 - Meidling Parrots
(46464959) Philipp Hu - 21 yr - $25 299 - Pot. 10 - Joe.City.Nets
(46464944) Thomas Schwarz - 21 yr - $20 057 - Pot. 8 - Crazy Crocodiles (my Utopia team)
(46772619) Peter Csenesits - 20 yr - $10 239 - Pot. 7 - CB Schnubu
(47080563) Günter Kröll - 19 yr - $ 6 535 - Pot. 9 - Bisamberg Torpedos
(47080552) Josef Kumar - 20 yr - $ 5 268 - Pot. 10 - BBC Mounier Wels


PF-C
As hupfingatsch already posted in his NT-overview, in PF/C were in trouble. With Reinhard and Lachmayer we've got two avarage guys, but they are not gonna win matches for us. The draft was also dissapointing for these positions, only a few guys with pot. 9/10, but all with low TSP. For now, this is the best we have;
(46772709) Roman Reinhard - 21 yr - $12 981 - Pot. 10 - Obradoiro B.C. (Spain)
(46465055) Martin Lachmayer - 21 yr - $12 267 - Pot. 10 - BV Mitterkirchen
(46464819) Sascha Steyrer - 21 yr - $ 8 613 - Pot. 7 - LA Lakers
(46772659) Maximilian Vogel - 20 yr - $ 7 629 - Pot. 10 - CB Schnubu II
(47080544) Nikola Natschläger - 19 yr - $ 7 607 - Pot. 9 - Hopkins Blue Jays (Utopia)
(47080504) Ladislav Schüssel - 19 yr - $ 7 412 - Pot. 7 - The Key Factors (USA)
(46772639) Wilibald Steindl - 20 yr - $ 6 690 - Pot. 9 - Lyon Villeurbanne
(46772753) René Kaiser - 20 yr - $ 6 175 - Pot. 10 - Crazy Crocodiles

I'll do the best i can to win some matches, but our offense will be quite predictable.

U21 NT - Matches

Our first 'Friendly' against Magyarorszag (19), we've lost 135-124.
Kempf and Schwarz couldn't make a difference against this strong opponent, Hu made 31 points.
Top-player this match (in points) was Lachmayer with 40 points.

Next games are against Iran (50) and Ghana (97). Both nations haven't selected any player yet.

U21 NT - Update

Our two first matches against Iran and Ghana both delivered us a win. In the consolation tournament we are currently 12th, above countries like France, Spain and Russia..

Iran - Austria 83 - 101
Our comb Kempf-Hu-Schwarz was HOT this match, with Kempf top-scorer 38 pts (65%). On the other hand, our inside defense could be better. The Iranian C was there top-player with 22 pts, and there SF had the most rebounds (20). Satisfied with this first win.

Austria - Ghana 50 - 0
Not much to tell, as Ghana has no active teams and therefore no U21. Reglementary 50 - 0 win.

Upcoming matches
And the positive news is that we are lucky with the next matches. We will play the following countries:

U.A.E. (75)
There 'top-players' are mostly PF /C and have a salary-range between 13 k. and 6 k. Should be a win.

Bahamas (80)
The Bahamas Roster is equal to the U.A.E. Roster. Big men and no guards. Again a game which we should win.

Argentina (26)
You can't win them all. Argentina has a very strong team, i foresee a loss this game.

Greece (27)
Currently 27th on the worldrank, first in the Consolation tournament. But there team is not as impressive as Argentina.
Could we make a surprise this match?

Wales (95)
The welsh have a weak team, again mostly focused inside. Top player Ross Perlstein (10K., PF). Shouldn't be a
problem, but we have to watch out for underestimation.

Senegal (70)
More of the same, a weak team, but beware! They can surprise!

Looking at this schedule, we should make it to the next round! I'm happy with 2 losses, but will try to make the 'surprise'.

U21 NT - Update

Since the last post we've played two matches

Austria - U.A.E. 98 - 74
With a good prediction of there Inside tactics and less effort we've won this match with a differnce of 24 pts. Good first half (51-28), Second half we took it 'easy'. This match Hu was topscorer with 31 pts.

Bahamas - Austria 79 - 98
Another 'regular' win, with Vogel on PG instead of Schwarz. We had some trouble stopping there PG (Guest, 25 pts), but overall we had the upperhand. Kempf (20 Pts) topscorer.

Next up Argenina and Greece, two difficult matches. I don't expect to surprise either of them. With Wales and Senegal as final matches we should be able to qualify for the next round.
