Anadolu Efes 2017-18

Why not? Even half of the forum members can hire top coach (if money is there), why would/could efes president not do that?
Also: who are "coaches like obra"?

Money isn't problem for Efes as you know, but idea and vision about future is for sure the big problem. There are coaches like Obra in Europe. A few years ago they brought one of them but he failed second season because of pressure and impatience from management and owners.

As you see it's not just about money....

i hope efes will quit basketball and efes fans like levenspiel will be "fenerbahçe doğuş" fans.

Perasovic is EC level coach and he made roster for EC. Problem is that Efes has EL licence and play in EL. Among their marketing issues, they represent Turkish basketball too, but they are doing that very bad.
GS is also shame this season.
The only bright spot is still Fener, thanks to 1.Aziz 2.Obra 2.Players 4.fans
What Efes miss from this? ALL
1. Efes doesn't have president who will bring coach like Obra
2. Efes doesn't have coach with balls and vision
3. Consequence of previous two things, players and roster is poor selection of mediocre and awful players, except Dunston, Stimac and Simon
4. There is no powerfull fan base that could impact more then posting on social networks

Gherardini not even listed?
You're so ungrateful...

People said during the summer that letting Huertel, Granger and Thomas leave was smart thinking, well they seem to playing perfectly well for their new clubs.

This was the best part of offseason for Efes, still happy to see them gone.
the series of mistakes started by the signing of mr Batuk . I remember the collective incredulity among Efes fans on twitter. Then it went only downhill from there... all the way down to Mr Muric.

with Dunston and Brown in the team, we could have saved money for 2 solid foreign players (PG&SF) + Stimac imho. The rest would be perfectly fine with the Balbay and the youngsters. They are not just any young players, either, these kids can play in the EL!

He was at Avtodor last season? It was an interesting choice after Efes being linked with Jackson etc.

yes, and he was apparently mediocre for them too. I had never heard of him before. I saw his story, being badly injured in a car accident, and then coming back to bball.. cool, best of luck to him. But it was obvious in preseason he's not ready for this level. not even for competitive TBL level. I guess Alper Yilmaz must have seen something that is yet to come out.

I think Efes's problems are the same as last year, only worsened: the guards.
Adams is no EL player. I saw two prep games and he'll probably be sent out in mid-season, unless a miracle happens.

Played 5, lost 5.......I know it's still early days but might this be the worst Efes team in the Euroleague era?

Of course, there is no shame in losing to Real, CSKA and Fener, but defeat to Unicaja at home when you never really looked like winning (even while briefly ahead) tells a different story.

We've had teams recently which have been talented but inexperienced, good attacking but poor defensively, athletic but not tactical. This team just looks............well, poor.

I'm not one for criticsing players but I concur with others who've said certain players just don't look Euroleague quality.

Now it seems that even Braun will not play.
I guess easy win for Real.

[Levenspiel]

Lol they are mean

Back to the topic, Efes once again has good players but probably not enough for F4

McCollum can score abundantly, but that guard scoring was not a problem for us. He is no EL player either. not in my prejudiced eyes.
Perasovic is wasting both the roster spots and the youngsters. He should either let them play or not call them at all.

yeah, something must be done... mods are sleeping and only deleting vivo's 5+ posts...

Is Simon o.k, or has he some kind of injury?

[vivo]

Sorry man, I've not seen this earlier. As for the question, cannot say really. (this was a completely useless post )

Thanks!
Do you know anything about Dunston, Simon and Muric?
Will they play?
