South American U-20 Championship put Messi and Cavani on the map. Who'll emerge this time? playMessi, Argentina World Cup winners nearly knocked off parade bus (0:32)Lionel Messi and some fellow Argentina players narrowly avoid disaster as they duck underneath overhead wires on top of their World Cup parade bus. (0:32)Jan 18, 2023Tim VickerySouth America correspondent In 2003, Javier Mascherano made his full debut for Argentina before he had even played a senior game for River Plate. Argentina knew they had a special player on their hands. At the start of the year, Mascherano had given an extended display of his potential in the South American Under-20 Championship -- a tournament that probably does not receive the attention that it deserves. Normally held every two years, the competition kicks off on Thursday and runs through until Feb. 12. For everyone else, though, something more significant happened at that tournament. It was a first glimpse of a diminutive and unassuming 17-year-old called Lionel Messi, who arrived as an unknown -- he had played one friendly for Barcelona -- and left as a star. A few months later he helped Argentina win the world title at U-20 level, and his incredible story was underway. For both club and country, Mascherano spent plenty of time playing alongside Messi. He is perfectly placed, then, to judge the potential of one of the strikers in his squad -- 18-year-old Facundo Buonanotte, who has just been acquired by Brighton from Rosario Central. Last year Buonanotte was coached by Carlos Tevez, who went as far as to compare him to Messi. That, surely, is raising the bar too high, but it will be intriguing to see if Buonanotte can make a similar impression in Colombia as Messi managed all those years ago. Another European-based player capable of attracting attention is Ecuador midfielder Patrickson Delgado, who nearly made it into the World Cup squad. The Ajax Amsterdam player was developed by the remarkable Independiente del Valle club, whose youth work has been so impressive over the last few years. Brazil central midfielder Andrey Santos has just joined Chelsea, while Aston Villa have just signed Colombia striker Jhon Duran from Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire. Assuming he is not pulled from the tournament at the last minute, this competition will be a big test of Duran's temperament. Colombia are hosts and face the burden of expectation as the home team. With some senior international appearances already to his name, Duran will be expected to tip the balance. There are fond memories in Colombia of when they hosted this competition in 2005. With Hugo Rodallega scoring in every game, Colombia were crowned continental champions. after being cancelled in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The last version was in 2019 and graduates from that tournament were present in all of the South American squads at the 2022 World Cup. Argentina's newly crowned world champion Julian Alvarez, for example, was on show four years ago, as were Darwin Nunez of Uruguay and Rodrygo of Brazil -- plus five of Ecuador's squad. Ecuador were shock winners of the tournament four years ago and went on to finish third in the U-20 World Cup later that year. Their recent rise has a great deal to do with excellent youth development work. Meanwhile, Uruguay's re-emergence over the last 15 years has also been based on a succession of graduates from the U-20 ranks -- from Edinson Cavani in 2007, all the way through to Nunez in 2019 -- the youth team is an essential stepping stone and a conveyor belt leading to the senior squad. Independiente produced the bulk of Ecuador's 2019 U-20 side, subsequently produced Moises Caicedo (also now at Brighton) and eight of the current squad. How many of them will make a name for themselves in Colombia? Interestingly enough, the country with the most disappointing recent record in the competition is Brazil. Four slots are available in the World U-20 Cup (which this year will be held in Indonesia). Those who do well at U-20 level can expect a rapid promotion. And now, exactly 20 years after Mascherano made his name with Argentina's U-20s, he is now coaching the side in the 2023 version of the tournament. Only two of his squad had been born when he was in action back in 2003. Central midfielder Maximo Perrone was just a few days old back then and is now on the verge of trading Velez Sarsfield for Manchester City -- or at least one of the teams in the City Group, who already have signed Brazil striker Savio, currently on loan at PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands, and Peru right back Kluiverth Aguilar, on loan at Lommel in Belgium. The contingent of players at the South American Under-20 Championship who have already moved to European sides is growing. Brazil failed even to qualify for the last two tournaments and missed out on three of the last four. They have made a concerted effort to do better -- but they have run into a problem. The domestic season is up and running, and some of those selected are important players from their clubs. Eight members of the squad, including Palmeiras sensation Endrick (who has already agreed a €72m deal to sign for Real Madrid in 2024) have not been released, and coach Ramon Meneses has been forced into last-minute changes.

He didn’t have the best game in the team’s loss to the Boston Celtics. The concerns with rebounding crept up big time in the last loss to the Celtics. For some reason this team has not figured out how to get to the boards. The Bulls allowed 18 second chance points against the Celtics. Pistons leading rebounder and scorer Greg Monroe must be licking his chops thinking about the opportunities that he can get on 2nd chance points. On the flip side, the Bulls have been operating like a well-oiled machine so far. Derrick Rose is leading the way once again with 19 points and eight assists. But it's the team's depth that should ensure they remain near the top of the Eastern Conference for nearly the entire season. Where: United Center in Chicago, Ill. When: Monday, Jan. 9 at 8 p. m.

Detroit Pistons vs Chicago Bulls: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Spread Info and MoreEzra Shaw/Getty ImagesThe slumping Detroit Pistons (2-6) travel to the Windy City to face off with the Chicago Bulls (7-2). Chicago cruised to victory when the two teams met just five days ago in Detroit thanks to a balanced offensive attack and strong defense. Aside from the emergence of Greg Monroe, it's been a disappointing start to the season for the Pistons. The lack of a true point guard has led to a lot of empty possessions, and when a team doesn't have an elite scorer, that becomes costly over the course of a game. Simply put, there's a lot of room for improvement, but the potential is obvious. Bulls Player to Watch: Luol DengEven though Deng has gotten off to a slow start shooting the ball, he's still one of the league's most underrated players. He's really the glue that holds Chicago's entire lineup together because he can make significant contributions in so many different areas of the game. He's not a high-flying dunk master, which is probably why he doesn't get much time on the highlight shows, but he's a dependable option nevertheless. If the Bulls make a deep playoff run this season, you can bet Deng will be a major reason they did. J. Watson (doubtful, elbow)What's At Stake? The season is still young, so the stakes aren't too high quite yet. That said, every game a contender like Chicago can win now will provide them with an opportunity to rest key players down the stretch. It's something that will be especially important during the condensed season. Since the Pistons don't appear ready to make any noise this season, having their young players gain experience against a legitimate title threat like the Bulls will pay dividends down the road. It's all about building for the future. What They're SayingPerry Farrell of the Detroit Free Press passes along some thoughts from Pistons head coach Lawrence Frank, who understands his team will go through some growing pains this season:"This is going to be a series of one step forward, two steps back or two steps forward and one step back, " Frank said.

The rookie point guard out of Kentucky is averaging 11 points and three assists per game, but has been a volume scorer to this point. Moving forward, the most important thing for Knight will be improving his assist-to-turnover ratio. It's barely above one through eight games, which isn't nearly good enough to be the main ball handler on a good team.

If Rose is unable to play, the team will likely go to Kirk Hinrich to get the start. Detroit Pistons Radio | NBA.com
