The U23 plan for Olympic basketball, and NBA thoughts

Vart, "The international basketball scene is extremely crowded at the moment".

No. No. No.

It is the complete opposite my friend.
There simply isn't enough International basketball.

Soccer has international friendlies in allocated windows.
Rugby has games and tours in between the WC, 4 nations, 6 nations etc.
Hockey have regular tours and tournaments
Cricket have heaps of tours and get games in.

If they don't make the Olympics an U/23 event, they should at least make an effort to set up an U/21 WC.

I know lack of money will always be the biggest hurdle to overcome.

But I feel the Europeans get a really good advantage at continually been exposed to international basketball because there is the Under 20 Eurobasket.

With Aus/NZ its either Under 19 or Senior Team.

One benefit is that the Aussies have historically done very well at international under-23 basketball.
