EL 2024/25 - Round 4

But right now Punter is much better than Lapro. Compare their stats. Also, Higgins before injury was better quality player than Lapro as well.

I didn't count Punter or anyone from this season because it's too early. Lapro every season has +50% for 2, +40% for 3, +90% from the FT while having 4, 5 assists per game and he plays like 20 minutes per game. This season he averages almost 13 points per game with great shooting percentages and he plays 23 minutes per game. If he plays let say 30 minutes like some other guards he would average 18 points. Higgins is better player but always injured. Lapro is the most consistent by far.
 
Congrats to Barcelona!
I cant remember another game when few sec before the end, the bench of a team is charged with technical for complaining about something they finally get. First of all, who gives a technical to the bench at the end of a game?? Then, when did the refs stop favoring Barcelona???? It was like refs confused Zvezda with Barcelona..
Weird things!

I did but the way I saw it was that Olympiacos was favored by the refs, I didnt emphasize on the fact that Barcelona was not.

But your previous message implied that it's first time when you see that Barca's rival was favoured by refs.

Not giving up at +27 and fighting until the end, that is power of domestic players.
That will be the biggest strenght of Zvezda and Zalgiris this season.

I agree, Red Star have a really powerfull team this season. Much better than previous, that's for sure. :) Anyway, looks like that anybody can beat anybody in this competition, I mean, champion lost against newcomers in Paris. I'm looking forward for the next round, we will play in Kaunas against Maccabi, and we can absolutely win that game, and be at the top of the standing with 4 wins and only one lose. Defending home court will be crucial in this season.

It's crazy to think that Barca with all the money they had/have Laprovittola is still their best guard since Huertas maybe? Calathes was horrible in Barca. Rice even worse. Heurtel trash. Higgins meh.... Punter had better game today in Belgrade than in all games last year in the same arena.

Please don't say that, Edgar. Tommy is a favourite on here. :)

Really? Hahahaha
I never liked him. Him and Granger as a duo...my God. I can't stand them. Now he went to play in China so he will ruin that league also for me. I loved when he was in Zenit. I don't watch VTB anymore so I didn't need to watch his sorry ass
 
Efes is the most static team in EL. Offense is based on false picks and then iso. 3 players are waiting all the time around corners
Only assisted shoots are Larkins passes after penetrations and sometimes Beaubois. Thompson is the most overpayed player, he deliveres nothing for that money. His impact on the game creation is zero, pg without drible skills is almost unusable
Nwora has talent for basketball but he is realy ugly and bad shooter, which limits him a lot from being elite player.

Well only myself and Levenspiel. :D Tommy H is always fun to watch as a neutral. But yeah him and Granger wasn't quite the Teodosic-De Colo combo.

You are aware that Nwora was in the NBA and NCAA about 40% 3pt shooter? Yeah he is not shooting right now but that's just a bad period. Most of 3s he takes are contested. At least that's what I saw...

The only more annoying player than them 2 is Brock Motum.
 
OK, so Maledon is actually pretty good. Hayes is a bust.

Traore and Maledon will probably be 2 pieces at 1 for France going forward until even more talented than Maledon PGs will emerge.

Then he should take just spot ups, 2-3 shoots per game. In penetrations, floaters and drible, esp ball handling he is above good, maybe even very good. But what he misses beside outside shooting is feeling to pass when closed. But seems that is part of the Efes system, other players except sometimes Larkin and Beaubois do the same. Sometimes it's ugly to watch, especially Thompson who supposed to be main creator, going in 3 players wall with some strange circus layup over back head and ass, while 3 players are free around
