Wow. So there was a reason Semih was playing like hot trash...

Yeah, he is normally a very good player, he has allstar potential, but he has questionable mental ability, he isnt very consistent, he was very good last summer in world cup though.

I was actually going to start a thread about it, it is very important because that means, Enes will be getting major mins. It will be a big experience for him after not playing 2 yrs and we all will see how well he can respond to the expectations at his young age.

At the first game against Ukraine, i was thinking he may not even make the team but right now he seems like the best choice along with Omer Asik in the post. Thats a pretty good improvement in the training period for me.

You forgot about Burks since we probably would have made the playoffs (maybe the 8th seed) had we kept Deron.

enes kanter is the best player on the turkish roster along with omer asik, imo. i would even take him over omer asik. hedo had one good game in eight games and ilyasova has been a disappointment so far, but he still has shown some improvement over the last two games. i expect this two guys two become better in the tournament, otherwise turkey can not advance further in the tournament. tunceri has also played solid in the last two games, finding his rythm and form back again. even the rather bad guard ender arslan has improved. right now, it's a good situation for enes, he will get at least his 20 minutes per game with semih out. i also have high expectations referring to enes kanter. like 12 points and 8 boards is what i'm expecting from him in the tournament.

semih is more of an energy guy with no real offensive game, average defense and he is rather a bad rebounder for his size and athleticizm. he is quick, long, has solid size and is quite athletic. he moves well for a player his size and that's it. he can pass the ball a little bit, too. he does everything a little bit but there is not one particular thing in which he is really good at it. i don't see the all-star potential in him. he will be the third or second center, coming from the bench to play like 10-15 mins per game, or maybe 20 minutes for his team. that's pretty decent for a guy who was selected as the 59th or 60th pick in the draft, i don't remember. i don't expect him to become a starter in this league, he is way to inconsistent and if you don't get consistent rebounding numbers from your big man, he does not deserve more playing time. all in all, he has some skills, but lacks the concentration, focus to become a starter and does not seem to have improved much over the last couple of years, imo... but the tools are there, definitely...

Yeah, Aybars. Don't you know that since you pointed out that Kanter improved since his first game that means you were implying that his statistical output would double every two years all the way out to infinity? Way to see right through him, Verlin. And as for that crack he made about your shoe size, it's at least double your IQ so don't worry, nobody else around this place is going to mistake one number for the other.

Thanks for the neg rep Verlin.

You were expecting something different from the guy proclaiming "BUST!!!!!!!!" after two games of limited play, years after he'd played anything that was real competition?

what u think about kanter after seeing him play, do u think he can be an elite bigman in the league, like 20 10 or better?

I get off my flight from nyc and see quite the firestorm i created here. You're right numberica, i was wrong and i said so. So who the **** cares???? If you want to keep throwing it out there over and over again that i proclaimed him a bust have at it. It was premature and dumb to say so. I do still have problems with kanters lift, i still think it will limit him but i think he can be a horford type of player who was a third overall pick in his own right and true baller. Yep- joe i negged, get over it. Pkm- tool, plain and simple.
