World Championships U18 '03 comments :
Silinskis will most likely take from this championship the Semi Finals game vs. Greece. After all the teams failed to stop Schortsanitis, Silinskis was able to somehow control the Greek fridge. Silinskis managed many times to prevent the ball from him, and also handle him after the ball was in Sofo's hands (with the help of his teammates). His block shot ability is not bad at all, and he changes a lot of shots too. On offense he displayed a very steady mid-range shot, good movement with and without the ball, and an impressive passing ability for a player in his size.
