A short word about the first part of the season: we started by a heavy loss against Australia and then got two easy wins against Vietnam and Kazakhstan. A tough game against Iran saw us come out as winners thanks to our great 3pts shooting percentage (14/29). Thailand may have their best ever U21 roster and managed to beat us thanks to an great 4th quarter and their 3pts shooting percentage (13/27). Finally, we concluded the first round with an easy win against New-Zealand.

Being 2nd or 3rd doesn't change much for next round but one unfortunate result (HK beating China) will make us play in a very tough 2nd stage group with China, Taiwan, Thailand and possibly Indonesia Singapore. Reaching the semi-finals won't be possible this season.


This season, our U21 team is made of all-rounders, we can play many different ways, it depends mainly of our opponents. Next season will be interesting with a few specialists. Using them well will be key to win games.

Japan managed to beat the Philippines to reach the next stage and got Indonesia eliminated. We faced (and beat) Japan in a difficult game.

Next is Thailand, they already destroyed us during the first group stage (-25) and they just won over China! It might be their best result ever and shows that they are really ahead of us this season. More important for them, beating China put them in a situation where they have a fair chance to bring a medal.

You may win against Japan. Our game will be a close one but I aim to let Malaysia U21 leave with the win in the end. Thailand, Taiwan and China seem much better than Japan, Singapore and Malaysia. I would be quite surprised to see another upset.

I might have to agree to that with them having one man out and CTing the Philippines. But even then it feels like a pretty long shot xD well, here goes nothing I guess.

With Thailand being that good this season, we couldn't do better. They managed to beat China and Taiwan! It will be their first ever medal and they even have a legitimate chance to make it to the finals.

As for next season, we will have a very defensive minded team. Wilson bin Junian, Ariel Chooi, Somboon Thanarat and Joe Katem will be our main guys. The results will depend a lot on which teams we're going to face but I believe our U21 team will be competitive.

For future NT prospect among our 21yo, Peter Joseph should make it relatively soon and Jonathan Victor may follow him a bit later.
