The Dutch boys ball income in Spain have the Easter weekend with their club CBA the highly acclaimed international U23 tournament in Tourcoing, France played. Matthias Runs, Jito Cook, Hidde Fox, Shane Hammink was the Dutch who for the "elite team" of CBA should come out with highly acclaimed talents such as Boris Bojanovsky, Oskar Reinfeld, Volodymyr Gerun, and Belgian Thierry Fassaert.

Other teams in the tournament came from Poland, Lithuania, France, Serbia, Canada, Russia and the USA, it was very talented and perhaps favorite "Elite Team USA" with multiple high school All-Americans and some college players.

Our Nedrlandse CBA'ers won every match in the group (28 minutes games) culminating in the pot won by the Americans (56-60). Shane Hammink led all the competition with 17 points.

In the semi-finals was relatively easy for the Poles won (43-52) in the other semifinal won the U.S. in a small war of the Serbs (56-51), resulting in a second match CBA - USA. This time the prize.

Yesterday, on Easter Monday was the final (40 minutes game now) in a crowded hall played almost entirely behind the Americans stood. The "run and gun" plus the jumping and acrobatics had during the tournament, especially the young French public to rally behind him and know that support was found to bring with them. Yet the CBA that the first half with a lead of 7 points to close co-managed by 11 points Hammink. The second half seemed a lid on the ring to sit the CBA shots were not even enforced by playing a better USA. Eventually the Americans knew the 23rd edition of the tournament Tourcoing on their name to be written by 63-55 with forty minutes to close.

One of the youngest players (the youngest?) In the tournament, the 17 year old Dutchman Shane Hammink, was chosen to best player of the tournament (MVP, or "Meilleur joueur the Tournoi") and should receive a nice cup

That's not what that means. He's commenting on them getting a commit from Tony Parker today.

Looks like derenbecker, but a little more physically developed. Plays a little bit mo below the rim than I would like but takes it to hole with authority

I think Derenbecker is a bad example. Shane looks a heck of a lot more athletic and dunks with ease.

Nothing more inaccurate in sports than player comparisons. Derenbecker is a 6-6 white guy, so they must be similar, right?

Except, Hammink is half black and grew up playing Euro ball. Totally different players.

He's got a ton more skills than his father had at this age. He'll help right away. He may even grow a few more inches and help down low eventually.

Baylor forward Quincy Miller just announced he was going pro. Gathers had previously stated that playing with Miller was one of his reasons for choosing Baylor.

I'm sure by design.

Well, Jones has already outrecruited Trent Johnson.... Seriously, I think Johnson's plan was to sign the best leftovers available each year. So much easier than actually getting the players you are targeting.

What has Jones done exactly? I could have signed them two. They were coming to LSU no matter what. TJ had them and CJJ got them easily as well.
