If I was Turkey's coach I would bench Hedo and Ersan and every other perimeter player until they learned how to pass the ball to a big. Its pathetic watching Turkey bomb away from outside when the interior players are actually really good. Moreover, Hedo is a 3 regardless of his size. Rotate Hedo and Ersan at the 3.

Yeah thats right, but Hedo should take the responsibility sometimes, and he does it well, just they shouldnt do it unnecessarily. When turkey use too early attacks, and out of discipline, they just suck and make turnovers. We should play more half court game and post up. There are too many options but we are using just limited options, launching 3s is the easiest way and we suck at it this year. Last year we were the best 3s in the tourney but now we just suck , we have to change it. I dont dislike the coach but its obvious he is too inexperienced. I hope he will get better in time, its his first coaching experience, he was a good pg before in turkey

My thoughts on Kanter were more on the uncertainty than on whether it was good or bad. I certainly feel better that he looks really good thus far, but it's hard to say if it was the right call until this draft class is a couple of years in. While this level of competition is good, there is just nothing like the NBA so I really want to see how that goes down. My gut feeling is that comfort with the plays and his teammates is going to go an especially long way for Kanter.

I'm really interested to see how Irving, Williams, Knight, and Biyombo will be as well.

But as of right now, I think it was at least an okay pick.

I dont have much expectations about Williams and biyombo. Knight will be good and Irving maybe a franchise guy but i think Kanter is the best big guy in this draft

And that would be bad for Turkey as I said. You should hope for double double from JV better

teodosic is an amazing player, in serbia

yeah, nice to see him staying out of foul trouble at least for now. 6pts, 3reb, 1stl in 1quarter.

If serbia loses two games, they can still go up by just beating us. But if they win, we can still go through without beating them
