Mehmet Okur vs. Deron Williams

[Qman]

Watched about half the game. Memo can only rebound and shoot stand still jumpers now. Everything else looks horrible. If he tries to make a move with the ball he loses it. He challenges no shots. He rotates only once on D and then just stands there. He can't post up guards. On pick and roll defense he appears to be even worse than before. I see no reason to have him on the court for us next year.

This may all be true. But if I had to guess, I'd bet Memo is treating these games like high speed training camp. Get in shape, get into a flow, avoid injury at all costs.

Beko Basketbol Ligi'nin 3. haftasında Beşiktaş Milangaz ile Türk Telekom karşı karşıya gelirken Mehmet Okur ve Deron Williams kozlarını paylaşacak.

Türk Telekom'un antrenörü Timuçin Meriç, yaptığı açıklamada, "Oyuncularım her maçta, uyum sürecini geride bırakıyor. İyi savunma yaptığımızda, sonuca daha rahat gidiyoruz. Beşiktaş karşısında da çıkışımızı sürdürmek istiyoruz" diye konuştu.

Ankaralı sporseverleri maça beklediklerini kaydeden Meriç, "Onların desteğine ihtiyacımız var" dedi.

Türk Telekom'un milli basketbolcusu Mehmet Okur ise Beşiktaş Milangaz'da forma giyen Deron Williams ile NBA'de oynarken çok iyi arkadaş olduklarını ifade ederek, şunları söyledi:

"Onunla Türkiye'de karşılıklı oynayacağımız için büyük heyecan yaşıyorum. Deron Williams ile altı yıl aynı takımda oynadım. Benim başarılarımda büyük etkisi var. Onun yeri ayrıdır."

Okur, Beşiktaş'ı yenip, iyi başladıkları ligde yollarına devam etmek istediklerini sözlerine ekledi.

Yarın Ankara Spor Salonu'nda yapılacak maç saat 19.00'da başlayacak.

Well that clears that up.

He looked like he is in decent shape. He moved up and down the court fairly well.

That's literally the only thing I care about. Get in top shape, don't get hurt.

If Memo can play at all there's no way he is less reliable than Tulip or Fes.

Exactly. Who'd you rather have, a slow Memo or healthy Fes? I'd take the slow Memo (let's be honest he's always been slow).

If he is the 5th big man that is one thing. If he is playing horrible D and Kanter is sitting on the bench I will be upset.

Why would you prefer a player who makes the team worse on when he's on the court (i.e., -2.8)?
