Seven players including all five starters scored in double figures led by tournament MVP Kostas Papanikolaou's 15 points as the golden generation added Greece's first ever U20 gold to U18 gold in 2008 and silver from this month's U19 FIBA World Championship.

His team of young men at the U20 European Championship meanwhile averages just 19.1 years. And Missas has had to find strength from within to lead his talented Greeks into the final in Rhodes against France.
