[rikhardur2]

Better:
PJ Ramos

Very well picked. Although I have not seen many games with him, I think his stay in China favoured him. I was amazed by his shotting abilities for someone of his size.

 

[sseppel2]

I was really impressed by that Abercrombie boy. But I didn't really expected anything from him, so I'll pass.

[Gyroscope2]

Better:

Worse:
Ricky Rubio
Hedo Turkoglou
Ante Tomic
Ioannis Bourousis
Aleks Maric

A rather puzzling choice, IMO. He scored 21p against China and he's been playing with a less-than-healed wrist. As far as the Greek team is concerned, there's many more...applicants. DD for starters...

 

[ecay2]

Hedo is predicted under performing player which has a big potential.So talk about this meaningless.Everebody sees the reel and we don't appeal it.

 

[Buzissa2]

Under-performing:

Ricky Rubio
Becirovic
Barbosa

Over-performing

Rasic
Abercrombie
Gelabale

He is not just underperforming he is struggling, did you also expect this? He keeps himself too far away from the decisions in Turkish NT, I don't understand why. He started his international career at senior level with great numbers but now Hedo is decreasing impressively.

 

[planaria2]

In Brazilian NT:

Better than expected:
Machado (is there any 6th man playing better in the WC?)
Huertas (leading the WC in assists)

Worse than expected:
Barbosa (very poor in decision making and in the clutch time)

Actually you're right, we weren't, but he's playing better than i was expected, He did some good jobs against both Russia and Puerto Rico, especially in the 4 quarters, and that is enough for me, because of the lower expectations he is an overperformer for me

100% agree.

Did you expect anything better from Garbajosa? Really?

My god.
