European youth basketball, FIBA youth events | Father of Zétény Bajor 🇭🇺

[Krisztián Bajor | European Youth Basketball @BajorHoopsEU]

Personal note — Zétény @bajorz_ is my son.

@scout1spects ranked him No. 20 in its first 2011-born European prospect board.

A meaningful piece of external recognition, but only a snapshot in a long development process. Proud of him — and back to work. 🏀

My first ever European 2011 basketball rankings, this time the top 25 prospects across the continent.

That’s exactly the part I find fascinating. Maybe the real edge isn’t winning the bidding war at all — it’s knowing which ones not to enter.

Do you think that gives European sporting directors an advantage? They’ve spent years living in a market of short deals, buyouts and constantly having to judge replacement value.

[Krisztián Bajor | European Youth Basketball @BajorHoopsEU]

@EricFawcett_ Is the real NIL problem bad price discovery? Europe reaches a tighter consensus on player value; one irrational NCAA bidder can blow up the range. Does it self-correct—and who will price European talent best: college GMs, NBA evaluators or European sporting directors?

[Krisztián Bajor | European Youth Basketball @BajorHoopsEU]

@csteed 100% co-sign. Just subscribed to The Painted Possession and I get it already. Beyond the X’s & O’s, Eric brings something rarer: real context across basketball cultures, leagues and systems. Exactly the kind of cross-border perspective the game needs. Keep going, @EricFawcett_.

[Krisztián Bajor | European Youth Basketball @BajorHoopsEU]

Subscribed to @EricFawcett_’s The Painted Possession — already one of the best $5 spends in basketball. His Europe explainer nails a real issue: even here in Europe, coaches often blur levels, competitions and terminology. Keep building this, Eric. Basketball needs cross-border literacy.

@dogtheballer Thank you, Rob — I really appreciate this.

Especially as a parent, perspective matters. Having spent years working with basketball data and statistics, I know rankings are snapshots, not destinations. The focus has to remain on development and the work ahead. 🏀

Grateful for this nice piece by https://t.co/lvIDVUGoxz Zétény’s @bajorz_ U16 EuroBasket in Skopje.

Playing one year up, he finished as Hungary U16’s leading scorer with 14.4 PPG, while the team fought through injuries and adversity.

Next step: Real Madrid academy.

Proud of the journey — and thankful to his teammates, coaches and clubs who helped him get here. 🇭🇺🏀

@handlefootwork_ @scout1spects Update: Boumtje-Boumtje and Kusturica are no longer at Barça — Boumtje is at Duke and Kusturica at UCLA.

Dabone should still be with Barça.

For Barça youth games, check EuroLeague TV for NextGen/ANGT, plus Liga U / RTVE / Barça official schedule depending on the competition.
