Philipp Neumann ('92), from Brose Baskets, is the current MVP of U-18 Albert Schweitzer Tournament in Mannheim (Germany) after making a 23.8 valoration and lifting Germany U-18 to the semifinals of the competition. Eventhough, the german prospect thinks that he can play much better. Eurohopes contacted him. "I am making too many mistakes, too many wrong decisions. I can play much better. I am playing under my talent right now", explains the power-forward.

Neumann adds that "we never practiced together. German U-17 is been having the same team last two years". Both squads already qualifyied for the semifinals. The other two spots will be for two of these teams: Spain, Croatia, USA and Australia. The prospect has no doubt about the team he wants to play against in semifinals: "My favourite team in semifinals is USA".
