No wonder that numerous basketball scouts have already arrived in Laktaši to spend the upcoming weekend, as they all want to watch the final stage of the 1st ever U19 ABA League Championship.

It is enough just to write that some of the most talented basketball kids from the whole region will be gathered at one place, trying to win the prestigious trophy. That’s why Laktaši is the place to be in the following two days.

Igokea, Crvena zvezda mts, Budućnost VOLI and Mega Bemax will compete at the U19 ABA League Final Tournament, while these are the players you will want to follow closely during the upcoming event.

Dalibor Ilić (Igokea): This player was simply stunning during the semi-final tournament in Zagreb. Ilić averaged 22 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, he was far the best player of Igokea and he led the team toward the 1st place in group. Ilić also had some really impressive dunks…

Zoran Paunović (Crvena zvezda mts): He is the leader of the red & white troops and the player on which you can always rely on. Paunović averaged 13.5 points per game at the semi-final tournament, while he reached double-digits in every match. He was recently registered for the senior team.

Fedor Žugić (Budućnost VOLI): If you ask anyone in Budućnost VOLI they will tell you that Fedor Žugić is probably the most talented player in the club. Have in mind that Žugić has not turned 15 yet, but he is playing regularly against much older boys. And he is better than most of them.

Andrija Marjanović (Mega Bemax): Although he is just 19 years old, Andrija Marjanović has already played several games for the senior team of Mega Bemax in the ABA League. He was also very good at the U19 ABA League semi-final tournament where he averaged 11.8 points per game and helped his team reach the Final Four.
