Summer 2015: FIBA games of Utah Jazz players

Sounds like they just underachieved early.

No they had an average roster. They made the final surprisingly. They played good team basketball and Kazlauskas is a good coach.

Repeat. This Lithuanian team definitely overachieved by getting to the finals. They were barely beating teams they should have dominated earlier in the tournament and getting beat by one of them.

LOL. So whats good from Croatia if they beat some good teams early yet lost by 30 to Czech Republic in playoffs. And 3 teams from Lithuania group made to top 8 so maybe that group was not as bad as you guys think. Everybody can play now....
Again my point is that Lithuania is perennial basketball powerhouse since they started competing as independent country in 1992m no matter what roster they assemble they usually compete for medals ( with few exceptions) - should not be call overachievers after 20+ years of being one of the top 3 teams in Europe. Spain, France, Lithuania.... name me other team who won more in last 20 years?
And Spain lost twice in group stage...point in tournaments like that is to peak when it matters.

Gobert not even the tallest guy on French team.

Ajinca would make a good back up center for the Jazz. Played very well down the stretch.
