BTW, I solve stretch 4 position with Radzevicius. He shoots the lights out both CL/LKL. And he hustles. Undersized athletic stretch 4 with D. I throw him.

When Sengun sees smaller player his eyes lights up and start his spining moves .I dont like putting small on him at all.
Versus Porzingis i love Sedekerskis speed and strenght combination and be into Porzingis body and make his jumpshots uncomfortable.Dont fear Porzingis post ups.
vs Sengun is tottaly diffrent story.Teams will need real Center that gives him 2 meter space and let him shoot jumpers but have real size and real lenght to chalenge Sengun releases near the basket.
All Sengun mindset is to come close to basket at all times.Sedekerskis will be just too short to chalenge that
If choose playing Latvia Pozingis in Riga in 1/8 or Turkey Sengun and shaky turkish players
i rather play Turkey NT in arena where we gonna have clear fans advantage.
For Valanciunas Sengun is way better matchup than Porzingis. Kristaps is just nighmare matchup for Valanciunas.

I suppose we have started talking about matches ok.
This wont work. Sengun would push him around in the low post like he did with all the skinny guys last rs. Youll have to double him yes then its decisive if you can rotate correctly and fast when he finds the open man and he surely will.
That sound like a good plan to me but team Turkey has the shooting bigs and they will on the other hand try to take advantage of the slow feet of JV or Birutis by shooting with Sanli or Osmani this will open up space for Sengun to operate.
Its not that easy. You will most likely have to handle a ready Larkin who is not stoppable just by one guy. You have to handle one of the most explosive and athletic big man around the rim with Bona or JV running close outs to Sanli or Osmani. Our big rotation is amazingly diverse.
I am far more afraid of Latvia. Latvia does not have the big names beside Porzingis and Porzingis might really be annoying to Sengun but on the other hand Porzingis does not like contact at all. Two years ago I wouldnt be that convinced but Sengun and Bona will push him around for sure. Nevertheless those five out games of Latvia is annoying.
He is good at D but first he cant stop Schroder from scoring, nobody can and D. Giedraitis cant organize anything in the offense. This guy has zero offense and cant secure the ball.
Yeah I watched the game a couple times. JV was a force under the rim but he will be far over 33 by then and without a reliable backup its gonna be difficult. JV exceeded his prime. I wouldnt expect a 30+ game anmore.
Well Buzelis wouldnt be able to go to the rim easily. He would be forced to take shots or to pass to JV. The problem of LTU team is it does not have this go to guy who can score at will. We would throw Osman at the start but lets say he turns out to be the go to guy that Osman cant stop. I dont believe it but lets say it that way. We will have Bona. Bona can stop anyone in Europe easily except maybe 2-3 guys.

Understandable but Sengun is still too fast for JV and he really developed his offensive rebounding. You will have to double him but there will be also times where hell play at four with Bona together around the rim and there will be Osmani too waiting for the open shot. In addition the Turkish NT is always a very solid transition team. It will easily exhaust JV by just running.
The only option is to close the paint and hope that Larkin and the others have a bad shooting day. Its not quite clear if Biberovic can play or not, if yes there is no chance for LTU to win. He is a too good shooter besides Larkin to be taking out of the game.

yes please play Sengun+Bona together than we will have where to hide Valanciunas in defence on rookie Bona that cant shoot and Jonas could come with help and his super length chalenge Sengun releases vs Sedekerskis
Sengun+Bona is even worse streaching the floor lineups than Valanciunas+Sedekerskis
No chance for that to work in 2020s fiba.
Bona will be just 10minutes Sengun replacement if your coach is seriuos to win how game is played in 2020s

Valanciunas simply cant defend Porzingis in no situations... .Sengun he can defend its not mission impossible.
Jonas will be inside put his second longest hands in fiba and we will see how much Sengun score over those hands.
.My diffrence why i choose Tukrye is big diffrence and extra 3000-4000k our fans not in latvian NT game is huge boost for out NT players.

Well, I think you might have a bad picture of that double big lineup. Sengun can easily play on four and of course Ataman will start with a four shooter + Sengun but if we need energy on the defensive end Bona is the right guy. We make JV make him run and expose his slow legs with attacking the rim with Larkin and initiate fast break opportunities.
Senguns touch got worse but it will come back after the summer break. Two big lineup will be a very good option for 10 minutes if we can place with 3 shooters around them.

Well thats a matchup that I want to see myself. Three years ago Sengun was not strong enough and Sanli is just too slow and too skinny for Porzingis but this time its different. We have tons of big guys who can make his life to hell. On paper we are the better team because we have the better individuals but they have the hca and better chemistry.

SS, I actually agree. We can throw more size on Sengun, but I think double teaming him is the best option. Current Sengun would trick slow JV rather easily too. We have to come up with mobile team defence, but it's not gonna be easy.
Toruko, yeah, Buzelis too light, but annoying with his length and great timing. He's a good help defender already. Off course, he's more out than in ATM so it's theoretical rn.
I hope we won't play too much with slow 7 footers. Sedas and Tubelis should move their feet on perimeter.
Bona is interesting, but I doubt hell make much impact this summer. Running screens, rebounding ok, play solid D. Will be interesting to see. But I don't consider him to be able to guard Matas mobility players, specially later on when Matas will be more deadly. Bona is legit 4-5 defender, everything else is out of his comfort zone.
We off course won't ask Giedraitis to play make
We can play him together with Jokubaitis. We risk a bit with Rokas on some German SG, but that's cool. Actually Rokas better against bigger slower guards defensively than light quick pgs.
I actually starting to think that Turkey is a better team than Latvia and likely LTU if not fully packed. Not only Sengun, but now Biberovic, Cedi, Larkim look good. It's not gonna be easy to defeat Turkey.
Jokubaitis should be our motor in the first place. If he runs the point at hight level we will operate well. Buzelis and Iggy would provide ISO slashing. ATM we have no true killers as Matas a bit too raw, but that's why I think we will be ready in 27/28 with MB and KJ taking over big time.

I would choose myself Turkey over Latvia tbh. but this does not mean that LTU would have an advantage. Its just because of the past, that Turkish player fail when it counts the most but what we lack is a experienced play maker. With Larkin and all that Euroleague guys we are hell strong.

Hell no. He can guard all five positions easily. He wouldnt let Jokubaitis one breath for example. This is nonsense.

This is Kennedy Chandler for example one of the fastest guys you can think of.

Bona can easily stand in front of anyone. He just struggles against Giannis and skilled bigs like Jokic or Doncic but he would lock the ass up of Schroder for example.

Valanciunas will be happy play anybody who cant shoot
In this lumberjack who cant shoot inside game Jonas is really good and experienced.In the world there is maybe 5 centers who could win wrestling match againts Valanciunas.
Play out Valanciunas of the floor it must be with shooting.Not put 2 non shooters.

thats not the point.Ofcourse you will score,but Valanciunas also will score and grab rebounds and can stay on the floor
Versus Latvians im not sure Jonas can play more than 15minutes. Vs Turkey i can easily see Jonas playing big minutes
Neve saw any rookie big handle such wrestling wolf like Valanciuans 1 vs1.
Player need have super strength and experienced. In fiba people just send dobule team,because Valanciuans is too big and too wide for one men to handle.

I dont think that JV will have the stamina to carry the whole team for 30+ minutes. Sengun is significantly stronger now. He will have to cope with Sanlis or Osmanis three pointer threat and Sengun will fight for every ball, then hell have to deal with Bonas strength and athleticism. We can expose him easily.

You are really full of JV. He is a valuable Fiba piece but he is not hulk. You wont be successful, I can guarantee it to you.

JV is definitely stronger than Sengun but Sengun is too skilled and too fast for JV.
