#ABAFutureStars | Final Tournament: Players To Watch

The U19 ABA League Final Tournament is just around the corner, with four teams remaining in the title race. Those are Cedevita, Cibona, Crvena zvezda mts and Igokea.

Recall that the final tournament will take place in Slavonski Brod on April 6-7, which means that on Sunday evening we will get the new U19 ABA League champion. Before the games begin, let us present to you the leaders of each team.

Cedevita | Rok Radović: This youngster turned 18 years two months ago and now he will try to prove to everyone that he is ready for entering the big league. Rok Radović played just 1 game in the 2018/19 Group Stage and guess what – he was the best player of Cedevita in that match. Back then, he led the Orange troops toward the valuable win against the reigning champions Mega Bemax… Now, he will try to lead his team toward the trophy.

Cibona | Roko Prkačin: This has already been a special season for Cibona’s hot prospect. He made a debut and scored his first points in ABA League, showing that he is not afraid of much older and stronger players. Roko Prkačin is just 16 years old, so he will be among the youngest players even here at the U19 ABA Final Tournament. But, that should not be a problem for this guy. Prkačin averaged 13.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game in the Group Stage, making him one of the best players in the competition so far.

Crvena zvezda mts | Nemanja Popović: In modern basketball being consistent is a very valuable skill and you can say that Nemanja Popović is definitely a consistent player. This 17-year old forward averaged 16.2 points in the Group Stage, while what is interesting is that he has scored 10+ points in each of the five games played so far. Popović was part of Zvezda’s team which lost the last-season final against Mega Bemax, so now he will try to help the red & whites make one step forward and take the title.

Igokea | Dalibor Ilić: We will just say one thing – his stats during the Group Stage were just incredible! Dalibor Ilić might actually be the main star of the upcoming tournament, as Igokea’s 19-year old wonderkid averaged 29 points and 17.1 rebounds per match in the Group Stage. He has already started playing senior competitions regularly, making 21 appearances for Igokea in the 2018/19 ABA League season. Still, now he returns to the U19 league one last time to try winning the prestigious trophy.
