Only two games were played today -both of group A-, but enough to see georgian Tornike Shengelia showing why he is in the top-5 of europeans prospects borned in 1991 after destroying Slovak Republic (67-85) with 24 points (4/6 threes), 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. Center Juraj Hasan ('89) finished as the best scorer of slovakians with 14 points and 5 rebounds in only 17 minutes. After a tied first quarter Georgia won the game in the second (10-23) and the third (11-24).

On the other game Sweden beat Portugal (63-60) with shooting-guard Anton Gaddefors ('89) in a good level (14 points with 2/6 threes) against a team where Jose Silva ('89) shined like every portuguese game: 15 points and 4 steals.

Sweden is first in group A (3-0), over Georgia (2-1), Portugal (2-2), Luxembourg (1-2) and Slovak Republic (0-2).
