Message: [QUOTE="Zarathustra, post: 5048577, member: 11285"] Correction: The Croatian team was the NINTH-PLACE finisher in the tournament, not the Overall 5th Place winners. The Australians with Lara Somfai were the winners of FIFTH PLACE over Japan. Other Awards not noted above: Olivia Vukosa was placed on the "ALL SECOND TEAM / Second Best Team" along with Jordyn Palmer of the USA. The " BIG O" was also awarded the FIBA U 17 Tournament's "BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER" with her # 1 performance in the TOURNAMENT for BLOCKED SHOTS and Defensive Rebounds. Olivia had the most 82 defensive rebounds for the tournament, 11.9 defensive rebounds "per game". She also had 18 total blocks in the tournament, which was, of course, best for blocks per game 2.6, but to be accurate NOT best for a hypothetical 40-point game average. To continue my obsession: Olivia made the most FREE THROW ATTEMPTS and the MOST free throws " made" : 63 attempts and 50 made (not nearly the highest percentage wide.)... I.E. she was fouled "A LOT" and made "A LOT" of the Free throws including her 13/15 in her final game against Taipei. Jerzy ROBINSON for TEAM USA was #2 in free throw attempts and free throws made at 59 attempts and 44 made free throws. My apologies for any errors. Check out the FIBA U 17 Web page under "OTHER" and you can chick on "STATS" and play with all the various stats for: TEAMS, PLAYERS, Player POSITIONS, etc. It is quite a breakdown. for [/QUOTE]
