U19 means 19 and under, not 18 and under. That would be U18.

If it's like international soccer, which I assume it is then it goes by the year you were born. In this case I believe if you were born in 1992 thus turning 19 in 2011 then you would be eligible. Don't quote me on this, but I would think that's how it works.
 
One team is 4-0 in this league and that team is led by...brace yourself...led by...Bonzi Wells.

Wow.

Hayward's team is the only other one with a winning record at 3-1.

except that the year begins either Sept 1 (or maybe Aug 1) if I'm not mistaken - ie, if your birthday is on or after 8/1/92 you're considered to be born in 1993

(and don't quote me on this either, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works)

I don't want to come across as one of those guys. But I don't believe this is correct. I did some research to figure see if I could get an answer, and while I did not get a definitive answer, I believe my I was correct in previous post. The cut-off is January 1st. Hence if you were born anytime after 1/1/92 then you would be eligible, this year, to play for the U-19's.

Basically, what I did was just check out a handful of the teams' rosters that played in the World Championships, and found that there were no players born in 1991 which if the cutoff were in either August or September, you would think there would be quite a few who would have been born in late 1991. All were born after 1/1/92 (in fact the oldest player I saw was born on 1/1/92). This obviously isn't definitive, so if someone could find some language on the matter that would be appreciated.

Did some creeping at a pacers forum, seeing as Id expect some of the posters to check the event out. Well, they did, and seems like Alec Burks played quite well.

Excitement for next season = steadily rising......

But it is Solan he would always play the good defender like Raja Bell. Solan system really was focused more on the pg and pf. They have really not had good C's or SG's even during there winning years. Thats just my opinion I doubt if Solan was coach they draft Burks. He is a weak defender right now and needs a lot of coahing. But the kid will be really good in a few years IMO.

about his handles that's why i wanted him you just cant teach those handles . He will be a great scorer in a few years IMO. And his weakness is shooting but in the NBA all you do all the time in practice is shoot easiest thing to improve if you are a gym rat.

Too bad Solan [Sloan] isn't around to scare some horse sense into Burks :| ...
