Turkey wins 
Glad to see Enes get involved in the Offense today, even though he missed a few, I still liked his hustle, rebounding, and D effort.

I think he had 5 and 7, but it should have been 7 or 9 points, since the refs missed an obvious goaltend and called a travel on a nice baseline move by Kanter to the basket. Kanter might have been the best all-around defensive player for Turkey, spending a chunk of time in the second half guarding out on the perimeter (with Semih Erden down low for some strange reason...).
This is the first I've seen him play (other than highlights), and I was surprised how good he looked given the bad reports so far. He should be able to rebound right away in the NBA, he runs the floor better than recent Jazz bigs (Memo, Boozer, AJ), and he seems to know where he should be and establishes position quite well. He needs some work setting screens, but that shouldn't be too hard, I'd guess.

Dang, I missed the last few minutes. How did Turkey pull it off? They were down 3 when I left.
I've watched them all, I think. I never thought he looked 'bad' .. obvious rust, obvious in too much of a rush, but mostly just really (like REALLY) poor game planning and getting no touches at all. This game was light years better from the appearance of the coach having a clue how to, well, coach.

Belgium with no NBA level players should be no match for 2 place finisher in last World Championship with 5 NBA players on roster - I am very surprised at how poorly Turkey team plays in general so far. I hope to see Kanter vs Kaman/Nowitzki tomorrow... that would give us better idea.

Belgium only has one NBA player Mbenga. If you are counting Hervelle as well he never played a minute in the NBA even though he was the first Belgium player ever to be drafted by a NBA team (Denver) in 2005 (52nd player drafted).
