Croatian NT has arrived on the scene of 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship in Latvia and is eager to showcase it’s full capabilities under the command of experienced coach Drazen Brajkovic.
With the sneakers scandal well behind him for good European phenom F Dario Saric is ready to go, along with such great talents as F Boris Barac, PG Toni Katic and G/F Mario Hezonja.
The fact that as much as 5 players on Croatian NT roster in this U19 Championship are younger than 18 years is absolutely astonishing. This nucleus will look forward to help Croatia defend it’s bronze medal from 2009 FIBA U19 World Championship in New Zealand.
Croatia will open it’s campaign on Thursday when they face Lithuania led by Jonas Valanciunas.
