Murauskas from Lithuania and this kid from the States Buzelis woke up my interest. I want to see if he can cope with the physicality of this tournament
So you finally took a look at himThere's another big Lithuanian name - Motiejus Krivas. So there's very distinct Big 3.
Well I watched some highlights, yes. He is talented but the level he is playing right now doesnt seem to be very high so its interesting to observe his reaction when the level is higher but a smooth 6'8 guy who can shoot is always interesting.
I like this packed '04 Turkish generation. No player is sure-star material, but we will have at least 2 players who can be regular NT stagers. Mestoğlu, Büyüktuncel, Yiğitoğlu, Konan and Büyükcangaz. All these guys can make high level basketball.
The team went to Greece to play back-to-back preparation games. Turkey edged Greece by 74-57 in the first game. Konan and Büyüktuncel with 12 points. Yiğitoğlu and Büyükcangaz are not with team for now. The latter will most probably join the team few weeks later. Yiğitoğlu may skip this tournament. He will attend senior NT team's training at the end of July.
The second game will be played tomorrow.
The second game is on Greece by 64-61. Horrible shooting performance by Turkey. I mean literally horrible. 12/29 FT, 5/34 3 PT. Turkey put huge defensive effort in the second half of the game and only conceded 10 points.
Emir Arda Sivas messed up big. 0/8 3 PT. Büyüktuncel is a very sane player. Not taking so many shots yet manage to be effective in every game. 12 P, 9 R by him.
Overall good preparation games. Greece is a better team than what they have shown.
We will play with Serbia next week. Again back to back two games.
Really 12/29 from the ft line?
FT has always been the bleeding wound of our teams. In every category. Yes.

First game against Slovenia, 73-66 on Turkey. Second game will be played tomorrow. Büyükcangaz joined the team, but didn't play today if I am not mistaken.
stats?
I am still waiting stats to reveal. If the stats reach me, I will share.
