António Dias

Thrilled to announce that I'm joining WTM Sports Group as their Director of Scouting! Huge thank you to Clay and Alex for reaching out to me and believing in my work. Their knowledge, hard work and eye for talent are a big part of why I believe in this project. Let's get to work!

I am also leaving Mexico City Capitanes. A huge thank you to Boris and Orlando for the opportunity to learn and grow with a special team and one of the most talented staffs I've ever been a part of, somewhere I felt my voice heard and part of a family. Forever #FamiliaCapitán!

Some news: I'll be leaving Eurohoops Scouting after 3 years as Head Scout. I want to thank my mentor Kostas and the whole team at Eurohoops for the chance to work for such a prestigious organization, meet new people and travel Europe doing what I love. I'll always be grateful!

🧵 U20 EuroBasket - Div. B standouts

Quick list on the best statistical performers according to my model, divided by role.

In parenthesis, their projected role at the next level. Potential HM prospects have an asterisk

Bigs

Wings

Ball Handlers

🧵 Time for the U20 EuroBasket standouts, with the players divided by role. First, divided into ball handlers, wings and bigs and then into sub-roles within those. Added their potential roles in the future this time to the graphic. Follow the thread for an in-depth look

As always, here are brief descriptions of how I look at the different roles and how I separate the players. The role can differ for each player in different settings and especially when projecting them on the next level
