I don't want to hark on about the good old days when I was the boss, but I do think my policy on age was sound. I pciked all the 21 year olds I felt were good enough to play NT21 international ball and then the best 20 year old and 19 year old prospects so that I could closely follow their progress - the likes of Barnett Singleton and Mark Alexander. That waym you can have a dialogue with the players coach (If he'll talk to you) or at least have a better idea of what type of players you'll need to play alongside them and then talk to the coaches of the other 20 year olds, to see if they are receptive to training their player in a certain way in order to make the NT, or have a starting place next year rather than a spot on the bench.
But, when it comes to court time, the only benefit of playing young players is to assess how they perform - forget xp gains, they are tiny, tiny, tiny.

Not really - you get significantly more for NT/U21 games than you do regular games.

I read somewhere that for each 80 oficial games played, experience would pop a level. So, as you say, the gains a very tiny. And even the influence of the experience is very low, so it's not worth to put 18 year old only for the exp.

That's not even in the same galaxy as reality.

That's not really true either.

and you play significantly less of them. we're talking the difference between playing a 19 yr old 20 times instead of 10 in his U21 career. Are 10 NT games going to add up to half a level of XP?

So what's being said in the forums is wrong. But could you tell me what influence has experience in the game? Because I don't know exactly what it does

I'm going to surprise you and say probably yes, they might.

Experience basically helps a player improve his shot selection, decrease turnovers, and generally play better overall.

(789816) had a fantastic 4th quarter in our Americas semifinal, and that's down to experience, in my opinion.

Well, for half a level of xp, I think I'd consider thinking again. It might well be worth playing the best 19 yr olds and getting stuffed instead of beat, if we're genuinely non-competitive this season. It's a hard sell to the managers of the 21 year old players you are ignoring though.

i know elmacca, that is why I said I would try to do both things...

However, the U21 year olds, especially the 21 year olds look in a not to good state, not saying they have been trained badly etc, I am just comparing them with the other countries and to what my 21 year old ones looked like last season.

That is exactly what I ment, why not get stuffed and work on the future players when we dont stand a chance now?

If we win 3 games this campaign, I think we did great... If we win 4, we absolutely over achieved...
