Lithuania won the U-19 World Championship, held in Latvia, after beating Serbia yesterday evening in the big final (67-85) behind another crazy performance of Jonas Valanciunas ('92). The center recently drafted by Toronto Raptors, who was selected MVP of the event, nailed 36 points (13/18 FG and 10/14 FT), pulled down 8 rebounds and put 3 blocks in 40 minutes without resting. The rest of the All-Tournament team was for serbian Aleksandar Cvetkovic ('93), "Aussie" Hugh Greenwood ('92), American Jeremy Lamb ('92) and Russian Dmitry Kulagin ('92). In the game for the Bronze medal Russia beat Australia led again by Kulagin.
