I would recognize Lena Bilic anywhere!! (the smiling face on Geno's right shoulder). Lena, # 9, is Ms. dependable and a 6'2" point guard with an offensive capability! A great combo with Olivia Vukosa. NOTE: LENA was not the guard sending some of those terrible entry passes to Olivia at the FIBA U 17 tournament. GO OLIVIA!
I think Geno might be tempted to go to Europe for the U18 championship, which starts on August 3. Will Olivia Vukosa be part of the Croatian team, we don't know yet, the tournament will be used to determine the 6 European countries that will take part in next year's U19 World Cup. I've looked at Overtime Select and there are still two teams to be announced, which also start on August 3, but Olivia's name hasn't yet appeared. As I mentioned in another post, in Europe it's not uncommon for top players to play in more than one FIBA international championship.
I'm fairly certain, however, that Lena Bilic will be part of the Croatian U18 team. Two years ago, she took part in the U16 championship, which is held every year in Europe. Croatia finished 3rd and she was selected for the all-star team.
