The first ANGT qualifer took place this week in Valencia with Barcelona taking the title with a dominant 4-0 run. Joventut Badalona took second place, while ratiopharm Ulm came in third.
We’ll be releasing more content throughout the next week, including scouting reports and a podcast with analysis from the tournament. Our scouts also voted on the ID Prospects Awards which we are excited to announce. We’d also like to think Alessio Magarini of ItalBallers for voting as well.
We’ve posted highlights for many of the players who won awards but we will post even more player highlights from the tournament on your YouTube channel in the near future.
