Ranking Elaboration Part 2 I analyzed all my rankings, calculating the average of the positions of every country's players. Then I removed from the average value a coefficient based on the total count of players included in the rankings, a number that I've previously written in the last tweet (the table with coefficients is in the Part 1). I wanted to use the result of the subtraction to develop a value that reflects the current level of this country's youth movement. The smaller is that value, the better this country is in producing young prospects. Second tier of countries: 1. Italy: 56,5 - 21 = 35,5 Italy is a particular case, with a big amount of prospect, 1 less than Germany and Serbia, but without stars and completely without a transfer system from youth sector to Senior, that now is a little bit improving. Italian's youth level is slowly becoming worse every year, especially with U17, a few powerhouses, other team with the """star""" and 11 normal players and teams full of foreigners. Italy is trying to create players with NBA size and versatility, an example is the '10 generation, but without giving them a competitive level (as of now unfindable in Italy) to consistently improve, with a big amount of 6'8 wings or 6'6/7 guards without a pro-level overall talent. Then when it's the moment to come to reach senior level, Italians are not patient with young guys, because needs results, this also because pro teams are economically weak in the majority of cases and no one wants to take a bet on a younger guy with talent. The result is that the stars rise only playing outside Italy or in the lone Serie A team that play youngsters, Trento, and usually are late bloomers like Niang brothers. I may have been critic about my country, I know, but this is the reality and we all should be critic trying to improve things, because Italy has a huge potential as a basketball country. 2. Poland: 44,9 - 9 = 35,9 Poland is improving a lot as a Senior NT in the last 5 years, and finds always the right chemical to be competitive. Youth sector hasn't had the highest level in the past 10 years, especially domestic, but with younger generation is trying to maximize physical profiles developing them in other countries like Spain, finding a couple of versatile stars or key role players. Szewczyk is a future star, and a future NBA player, while Chojnacki, Swirydowicz, Pietrzak and Borucinski future contributors of the Senior NT. I think the correct rating of Poland is a tad higher than 35,9 but things are moving in the right direction. 3. Turkey: 48,5 - 12 = 36,5 Turkey is finding itself is a moment with a terrific Senior NT, that lost very few games in the last 2 years, a system where offensive players shines and has a generation of young players that combine stars to sized players with high upside. Domestic system level is growing, not as strong as Serbia/France/Spain, but is a real one, and future stars are players that fit perfectly in the idea of the current NT: offensive talents with elite productivity and the attitude to be a focal point of the offense. I think they only lack a bit of depth to catch in to complete the field, but trend is what Turkish fans want to see. For the other countries I write only the score, with a judgement on some aspects. Denmark = 38,3 Overall youth level: Improving a lot Domestic sector: Mid Future Stars: Moller, Drejer Pool of players: Mid Finland = 39 Overall youth level: Improving Domestic sector: Mid-Low Future Stars: Tala, Santos, Machol Pool of players: Mid Croatia = 43,9 Overall youth level: Improving from a big fall Domestic sector: Mid-high Future Stars: Ukic, Zlopasa Pool of players: Big Belgium = 44,6 Overall youth level: Stable Domestic sector: Mid Future Stars: Ona Embo Pool of players: Mid Great Britain = 46,2 Overall youth level: Improving Domestic sector: Low Future Stars: Bishop brothers Pool of players: Mid-Small Greece = 48,6 Overall youth level: Worrisome decline Domestic sector: Mid-high Future Stars: no one, maybe Chatzilamprou or Monama Pool of players: Big Bosnia = 48,8 Overall youth level: Stable Domestic sector: High thanks to Serbia Future Stars: no one, maybe Omerovic Pool of players: Mid-small Hungary = 54,0 Overall youth level: Stable Domestic sector: Low Future Stars: Bajor Pool of players: Small Switzerland = 54,7 Overall youth level: Improving Domestic sector: Low Future Stars: Riethauser, maybe Rebetez Pool of players: Small Georgia = 57,7 Overall youth level: Slow decline from 10 years Domestic sector: Mid-low Future Stars: Khatiashvili Pool of players: Small Slovakia = 58,6 Overall youth level: Improving a bit Domestic sector: Mid-low Future Stars: maybe Randuska Pool of players: Mid-small Romania = 58,8 Overall youth level: Improving a bit Domestic sector: Low Future Stars: Lapuste Pool of players: Small Estonia = 60,4 Overall youth level: Steady Domestic sector: Mid-low Future Stars: maybe Martin or Adamson Pool of players: Mid Sweden = 61,0 Overall youth level: Steady Domestic sector: Mid-low Future Stars: maybe Bosnic Pool of players: Mid Bulgaria = 65,3 Overall youth level: Very small improvement Domestic sector: Low Future Stars: maybe Kolev Pool of players: Low Netherlands = 67,3 Overall youth level: Improving in the quantity Domestic sector: Low Future Stars: maybe Anike Pool of players: Mid Iceland = 67,3 Overall youth level: Improving Domestic sector: Mid-low Future Stars: Haraldsson Pool of players: very small

Ranking Elaboration I analyzed all my rankings, calculating the average of the positions of every country's players. Then I removed from the average value a coefficient based on the total count of players included in the rankings, a number that I've previously written in the last tweet (the table with coefficients is down low). I wanted to use the result of the subtraction to develop a value that reflects the current level of this country's youth movement. The smaller is that value, the better this country is in producing young prospects. 1. France: 42,7 - 33 = 9,7 France is the best youth movement in all of Europe, probably the second best in the world besides USA, with a couple of 1° overall picks in the recent past. They invested a lot in coaches, trying to copy the American developmental system, maximizing physical profiles and then working on the basketball side, having at 18/19 players that can contribute also from a technical standpoint other than physical. France produces an enormous amount of prospect, having at least 3/4 players in every top 15/20, being good both at a younger and older level of competition. I think they lack a real big man prospect at the moment, talking about these generation, but is already well-covered with Wemby, Sarr and Raynaud. 2. Spain: 41,3 - 27 = 14,3 Spain has the best structures in all of Europe, the most developed youth system that leaves open a lot of space for foreigners to grow. Talking about domestic players, they do an excellent work with young age, resulting every year as one of the best U15/16 team, doing a great job taking the max from small players despite being usually a team that hasn't physical outliers. In the last years they naturalized some special prospects and started to develop some supersized ones, improving a lot their average value in the ranking, with guys like Dabone, Shurmel, Robinson and Bol in the first category and Cerdan or Niebla in the second. I think their future National Team will improve a lot the results of their current, that found in the 1997/03 gens a big hole to fill. 3. Serbia: 38,9 - 21 = 17,9 Serbia is the powerhouse with the lower average value, having a huge amount of strong prospects, not in the first tier but with the potential to be very impactful for their Senior NT. They have only a true star in Kusturica, but already have interesting players in Topic or Jovic, and have a big pool to find future starters in every position, with a solid 07 gen (Backo/Srzentic...) and a couple of good 06. Serbia features a lot of players in the 35/20 zone, made by players that have a shot to play eventually in the NBA but with solidity to contribute at the NBA level, and may be the country with the deepest bag of Tier 1/2 prospects. 4. Germany: 45,8 - 21 = 24,8 Germany is in a tier of his own, not with a world-class system like the first 3, but significantly better that all the others. A peculiarity is that Germany has the majority of their players playing in the domestic league, that isn't the most competitive one, and neither the one with the best transfer of opportunity, being similar to Italian system in that aspect. Germany is led by a very strong 2009 generation, with 4 Tier 1 prospects, and has intriguing guys in every position for every class. I think in the next 10 years they won't be the 2nd best team in the world anymore, talking about seniors, but they'll be still very competitive, considering that with 06-to-10 generation they reached a youth movement peak never seen before for Die Mannschaft. 5. Slovenia: 41,9 - 12 = 29,9 Slovenia hasn't the crazy amount of elite prospects Spain or Serbia has, especially because of a demographic reason, but still maintains an elite quality, with some stars and good role players that will be key for the future of their Senior NT, in a way bigger dimension than before the 06 generation. They are among the best in the transfer between U16 and U18, producing always competitive teams with the increase of age, but suffering a bit at U16 level, especially this year with the unexpected relegation. Like you can understand because of population, they have only 1 youth basketball powerhouse in Cedevita Olimpija, so stars are usually developed outside Slovenia (Doncic, Joksimovic). So don't worry about the number of guys, 14 top-100 in 4 generation are enough to continue as a competitive Senior NT, especially with Doncic that has 10 other years in front of him. I hope Tim Hegic will continue their development because is finally the big man they need! 6. Lithuania: 46,1 - 15 = 31,1 I think Lithuania is slowly regressing as a youth movement, being always less involved at big stages of the Europeans or without producing elite guys. I don't see a true star coming for the southest Baltic country, they may have Stombergas, that's not like Joksimovic or Dabone, but then only a couple of very competitive prospects with NBA hopes, one of them is Jonas Birzinis that's only 15. Yes, they will still compete but ceiling is lower than before, as soon as the discover of a new Lithuanian star. Also, they're producing a big amount of solid small guards, but they're poor in the big man positions, with the lone Jakstonys and Navasinkas in the >U16 teams. 7. Latvia: 43,7 - 12 = 31,7 At the moment I see Latvia as very similar to Lithuania, without substantial differences. Yes, Lithuania produces more mid-ranking guys, maybe most talented ones, but this gap is filled by Benjamin Berrouet, a star that few other countries can afford. Latvia finds itself in a situation with a competitive national team, also without Porzingis, and with a solid bunch of young and very young guys ready to compete, for example Jahovics, Vilcans, Aizpurs, Grinvalds or Martinsons. What falls short for this position is the lack of players produced by their domestic system, for example no one of the 6 mentioned guys. Outliers: Russia with 21,8, Israel with 31,5, Czechia with 29,9 and Montenegro with 27,6. I want to divide (not by talent) these countries in 2 different categories. Russia has only 4 guys included in rankings, mainly because of the territorial and political detachment from Europe, with no participation at FIBA and ANGT tournaments, reducing the amount of prospects to watch so the estimate of the top-100 guys may be biased. But these guys are very talented, so the average is correct. The negative part is that this value does not match the actual status of the Senior NT, that, at least before 2022, wasn't top10 and I think still now talking about Europe alone. For Israel is similar, they haven't the best domestic youth level, war may have got the situation worse; they have some intriguing prospects in Musis or Sela or Aronov but nothing more, despite being always competitive in FIBA events mostly thanks to their playstyle. Also, traditionally Russian and Israeli prospects usually grew up in their countries before wars, in youth system that were "good but not great". Czechia has 3 elite level prospect in Houska, Sibal and Simko, had some intriguing bigs from 08 and 09 generation that play in Spain and a couple of talented 07 prospects, but hasn't the deepest pool of guys to develop a competitive National Team. I think they'll replicate the Vesely/Satoransky situation, with stars and solid role players as a side dish. The same is with Montenegro, that has Brnovic, Fantic, Malovic or Radovic as Tier 1 prospects, but nothing relevant besides them. They haven't the most competitive domestic system, but especially for MNE is due to the overall population, finding Serbia and Spain as great shoulders to develop their prospects in a competitive environment. They are the outlier of the model, I think all the 4 countries are similar to countries with a rating of 40. Part 2 is following in another post
