The "root" thing is something completely different. My grandparents imigrated from Greece but our family was all Turkish. Cedi's one side is also bosnian or macedonian, other side is Turkish. Hedo is fluent in Bosnian and has Bosna roots as well but he was born and raised in Turkey.
Ersan or Arsen whatever you call him, was born in Tajikistan raised in Uzbekistan with almost no relation to being Turkish. Became 3 years younger and became a Turkish boy overnight just because of a Turkish basketball club's greed. Just to dominate youth level leagues and tournaments. It's a scandal and they did that in numerous ocassions. Even now he isn't fluent in Turkish.
Regardless, he's a great character with on point attitude and work ethic. Humble, kind...
We love Ersan so much.
That doesn't change his case was a huge scandal.

Nope. Didn't watch. I'm just saying that for the entire game, Rudy was statistically better. So he probably kept them in the game for the first 3 quarters, which gave others a chance to take over in the 4th. You can't dismiss performance across the first 75% of a game and only focus on the last 25% - or in Trey's case, the last 5 minutes (which had everyone calling him "clutch"). Lauvergne only had 11 points TOTAL. He had 9 of those in the 4th. So for the first 3 quarters he was completely ineffective.

And I'm not saying Lauvergne isn't a good player. I noticed him in the "friendlies" that France played. Was thinking the Jazz should sign him, before I learned he had been drafted. He has decent potential, IMO, to be a very good backup in the NBA.
Today I heard on TV that Dzaner Osman that is Cedi's brother played for Macedonia youth team.
I didn't talk about statistics, I just said that Lauvergne has been decisive offensively in the 4th quarter.
Concerning statistics, Rudy had a good game but as I said before he showed some offensive limits.

Fair enough.
As for Rudy, I hope QS makes him shoot 500 FT's every day. Gobert and Favors can easily up their scoring averages by a couple of points just by making FT's. And Booker is even WORSE from the line than those two. Is Utah giving up maybe 4-6 pts/per game with missed FT's?
If Rudy develops a single solid post move he could be devastating.
I fear he won't improve his touch around the rim.
Lauvergne played the last half of the season for the Nuggets.
