Almar this summer, 2024

no games today at the U20 Championships,
but Iceland will play early Saturday for places 13-16...facing North Macedonia,
a team they already beat very handily 71-53. - WATCH

Thus far after 5 games, Almar ranks 3rd in scoring average at 16 ppg

Italy is playing for the 9-12 spots, and face Serbia later of Saturday. WATCH
Timoty van der Knaap is averaging 2.5 ppg in 8.7 min per game.

The South Sudan Olympic team has a game Saturday vs the US Olympic Team on Fox at 2pm - LINK

The OKC Thunder Summer League team plays again tonight at 9:30pm Central (Malevy)
It apparently is only carried on ESPN+
 
Game just finished and Iceland clobbered North Macedonia 116-87
Iceland played their bench a lot because of the blowout, but Almar played 25 min,
and had 12 pts, 3 reb, 5 assists and 3 blocks, and he was 3-8 from 3-point

BOX SCORE

They will play their final game Sunday (8:30am Central) vs the winner of Montenegro vs Turkiye (just about to start)
to determine 13-14th place
Turkiye would be a strong favorite, as Montenegro has not won a game yet and their closest game was an 18-point loss.
Their average margin of loss in 5 games is 30 pts.

Update---
Italy beats Serbia 71-63 today, & will play the winner between Israel & Germany (just now starting) for 9-10th place.
Timoty van der Knaap again did not play. He was dressed and went thru warmups, so he was definitely available,
but Italy played only 10 players.
The final game for 9th place starts tomorrow morning at 9am Central Time.


One last thing- in the Championship bracket - one of the semi-finalists is determined:
Slovenia beat Belgium 91-79 to advance to the Championship game tomorrow at 1:30pm Central Time
The other semi-final game, France vs Greece, is starting right now - the winner plays Slovenia tomorrow.​
 
Iceland finishes up beating Turkiye 96-95
Almar 21pts, 3-8 from 3-pt, 13 rebounds, 2 asst, 1 steal, 2 blocks
Turkiye’s big man launched a desperation heave at the final buzzer for 3 points but they unfortunately needed 4.
Almar’s 3-pt play with 5 seconds to go was the game winner.
Turkiye made a furious run from 12 pts down in the final 3 minutes, but Iceland held on for 12th place.

Italy beat Israel 69-58 to take 9th place
Timoty van der Knaap played almost 12 min, scored 4 pts, 2 Reb, 1 asst, 1steal

one more note
Malevy Leons played well in his summer league game last night,
11 pts, 7 Reb, 3 blocks, 3 steals in 29 min in a starting role,
as the Thunder beat the Mavericks 88-79
 
a guy who blogs and reports on NBA prospects, lists Almar as one of about a dozen
"standout players" from the FIBA U20 Championships
