Kamil Novak, Center of MTV Kronberg and project manager of the Elephants Cup is confident: "It will be interesting to see, where our talents stand in the international comparison. I expect an exciting tournament, which no Basketball fan or expert should miss. I mean, when do you get the chance to see those junior teams in a direct competition?."
