U21

Thank you !

It's true, it's been a great season for the U21s ! I'm proud of the results, especially considering the level of the squad. It's a bit short but we are still improving

We have some limitations (which I won't reveal here...), but we're still managing to surprise some opponents and we keep holding up in this league.

That being said, nothing is guaranteed yet to advance to the second round. We still have two tough matches to play after our first defeat against Canada.

Thanks to all the coaches who continue developing our players and who generally keep them in good shape !

Thanks ! It was a step a bit high for us. Congratulation and good luck for the next two games !

[U21] Well, well, well... Here we are at the end of the season.

We had anticipated the lineup well and we played the game to the fullest, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough.

The team is still a work in progress. This season we were able to improve our defense, but we all know that in basketball, it's difficult to win if you don't score...

The overall assessment of this season seems very positive to me, with promotion to the second round and great progress from the young players. And it's even more promising with four U20 players and one U19 player on the roster for the last game!

The youth development program is progressing very well, and we'll soon be able to reap the rewards of the seeds we've sown! So, a big thank you to all the managers who train our players! I'm eager to see what the future holds.

For the end of this season, I'm going to prioritize the younger players to prepare for next season. If you're planning to sell your players, let me know so they can get the flag ;)

Why do we fall? To learn how to get back up stronger!! Go Malaysia!!

Thank you for the summary. I agree with everything you wrote. I really like the fact that you keep track of detailled GS to evaluate how well each player is managed in terms of minutes. This is very insightful.

As the previous NT manager, I know pretty well the level of our players and we couldn't have done much better this season. I think you are doing a great job leading the team to a brighter future. Thank you!

What a tough group our U21 NT fell into, with Hong Kong, China and Australia, it's impossible to dream about the semi finals this season. However, the team looks very good. Last game against HK was impressive. We lost by 19 but this is the small win margin of any non friendly game by HK this season. More impressive is our defense, HK scored only 64 points shooting at a poor 29% and not scoring a single 3 point basket out of 9 attempts.

We are not at the top of Asia, this is impossible to do but looking at the competitive game we had against HK, I want to congratulate Barbenoir, our U21 NT manager for his great work managing our team. May you stay here for a long time!

In the end, our NT did well, despite having troubles this season: 2 players retired during the season due to big injuries and many players went unexpectedly on the transfer list. We finished #34, 2 spots away from the qualification to the knock out phase.

Congratulations to WalterZ, our NT manager, for making the most out of a limited roster.
