Leading scorer was a 12-year-old.
huh. ok maybe I shouldn't have called it high-level. No offense to whoever this 12 year old is, I see he's already like 6'10" and I'm sure he's great to be playing on an 18u team already, but Kasparas would be playing against 23 year-olds if he comes next year. Is Berlin just the weakest team in this tournament? I don't follow any euro-ball stuff at all.
(I'm not saying the whole league is bad or it reflects on Kasparas in general or whatever. But obviously this game was incredibly one-sided, so something seems off about it...)
Actually, I'll add that in general it seems like Kasparas has usually performed better than Demin in this same league, based on the stats I've been able to find. And again, I don't follow it, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as
@LvilleILL seemed to indicate last thread, that would lead me to believe that Kasparas would be more likely to be a better player NEXT YEAR than Demin. Am I off base on that? (the usual caveats about not being sure about projections and Demin still perhaps having more eventual NBA upside probably apply, but just thinking in terms of next year in the the B1G, wouldn't the odds be in favor of Kasparas being better?)
