Welcome to our nations u21 thread for season 57. Ill start off with a cool announcement...

Last seasons competition was won by myself who passed it on to Solesky. He has subscribed to subscriber and as such, we have both decided to roll the prize over to this season. So the top scorer for u21s competition is on again!
Here is a recap of the rules:
The competition is to pick the top scoring player for the u21 season, and pick a total points for that player. The player that picks correctly and is closest to the points total for the season will get a 3 month supporter from me. (I'll give you a hint- if you are not sure how many points, you can check previous seasons totals on the u21 main page- some great history on there!) Just post below your player guess and points, edited posts are ineligible and one guess per manager. If there is a tie, first manager to post wins the supporter. Entry need to be done so its not unfair, but enough time that people can see it. Ill close it off before the start of the 2nd game (gives you 10 days to enter). Im happy for managers of any nation to join in, but the supporter prize is for the closest Australian manager since the aim is to build our Australian community interest, unless your an international manager and you've done time helping the Aussie NT teams out, in which case you have put in the hours for us and are eligible.

Id like to extend the competition to rebounds and assists too for those interested in adding in a guess for each of the stats, but only the point scoring will win the supporter, the other 2 stats are just for fun and interest.

Team scouting is now occuring and discussion on team selection will be on our offsite forum:

New Aussie managers always welcome. Let me know if you have applied and I will approve your request. Get on there and have a sticky beak at the u21s skills so you can best choose your top scorer for this season!

Our first game starts this Monday in the 2nd chance qualification draw to try and make this seasons World Cup. Our draw will be out in the next day or so, but it is always a tough one featuring an unlucky Euro team, a tough American team and one team from the African draw. The team who wins this little round robin goes into the World Cup, where the best u21 teams in the world compete.

Please add your top scorer guesses to this forum. I haven't set a cut off date, I'd love 10+ guesses! 3 month supporter up for grabs.
My prediction:
Macgilvray 172pts
Jaiswal 158 rebs
Anderson 51pts

That’s awesome, Coach.

I’m going to back in my man, Holley, to score 205. Jaiswal I think will grab 145 boards and Anderson with 61 assists.

I think it’s a good looking team. Good luck!

Good pick. I was going to go Holley, but you gotta back your own trainee, right?

Great start last night in a bit of a danger game early.
Mvps
3- Anderson
2- Wallwork
1- Holley

Well done to everyone, hoping for some good game shape to take Lithuiana on with!

I'll give up to the start of the next game to put your scoring prediction in. Lockout is tip off of our next match. Great to see a few managers jump on, I'd love a heap more!

A big game last night but we came up short against Lithuania. This seals our fate to the consolation tourney this season. We performed well though against a CT!

You could throw a blanket over the starters for MVPs, a case could be made for all 5. Im going with:

3- Anderson
2- Hollinshead
1- Impey

Tough loss. Might have had a shot if we didn't have an injury.

That's the luck of the draw though, Lithuania has the easy game last so they could afford to CT.

Lets do our best in the consolation tourney and try get HCA

Game 3 was a dead rubber vs Canada. I probably should have normally it but was extra cautious not dipping our enthusiasm below 5 before the enthusiasm reset.
Mvps
3- Bloxham
2- MacGillivray
1- Holley

Last night we started our hunt for next seasons home court advantage. We started off with a tough fought win over the Netherlands. You could throw a blanket over or starting 5 with equal contribution amongst all 5, making voting very tricky. Shooting efficiency stood a few out above 50%

Mvps
3- Holley 13pts, 6 boards, 6 assists and 3 steals. 0 turnovers.
2- MacGillivray 16pts on 5-9 shooting, 4 boards 4 assists
1- Jaiswal 13pts on 50% shooting, 10 boards and 4 blocks.
