Anadolu Efes 2022/23

Honestly didn't watch enough Hall and Enoch but, i think we can add as candidates next to Tobey for #5.

With Hall besides Larkin, Micic(Satoransky), Clyburn, Singleton, Tobey it would be the best lineup of all time but the bench must be the U19 team of Efes then.

Deal!
Hall, Tobey, Pleiss...
Larkin, Micic stays.
Clyburn already with us.
So let's order the beers

Next move of Efes!

Egehan Arna from Besiktas to Efes.

Egehan Arna is a tall small forward who can put the ball on the floor and he is a great spot up shooter. Played a very good season with Besiktas.

We don't know if Larkin stays, on his interview he said something like "It will be interesting". Some rumours linked him with Fenerbahçe but that would be very complicated. Like Spanoulis going to Oly after Pana. I really hope he stays. But then if Clyburn is true and both Micic and Larkin stays, I mean there is only one ball. How will they share it?

The only possibility that Larkin leaves Efes for another European team is when Tuncay Özilhan decreases the budget and gives up on a strong team but the signings tell a different story. Very low probability is that Larkin goes to the NBA but from what I heard I can say that he will stay. He is happy with Efes

Clyburn is not a very ball dominant guy but they will be divided. Something like Larkin comes from the bench and Micic and Clyburn start.

I like this move, too. One of the best locals around. Good job.

Yeah I think too that he could work out with his shooting ability. Efes can always use a good shooter. I am not very concerned about his offense but he is not very tough on defense. Well see how he develops. If he can defend a bit 7-10 minutes are possible.

Tnx god he won't come back to Fener. Good luck with him. Him and Sybir will rock left hand is popular nowadays��

I agree that he is not very ball dominant, but during the last couple of years whenever CSKA was desperate to score he was the go-to guy just like Larkin and Micic in Efes, especially after Higgins left. Although the 3 of them are very different players they basically have the same role.
But anyways, everything is hypotetical at the moment. Guess we will have to wait and see.

CSKA was out of guards back then and it is turning out like I claimed.

Not so many good locals around, as you know. He had a good year and he will have minutes in TBL. We are not talking about an EL starting-5 potantial

It's not just about starting five, you must have good back ups, especially when PO starts. There shouldn't be 2 rosters imo, one for EL and other for BSL You need better Turkish players who can lay EL too. I like Gazi for instance, Guven can play too. Bitim was the right guy for Efes, but it's late now. There are good players on the market, just need to look around. Arna isn't one of them.

You guys don't understand how important Micic is for Efes. Of course Larkin is almost unreplacable, Micic is replacable but with whom??? He is 27 only, best years for basketball player and he yet to give his best games.

I would compare him with Thompson, without him Curry couldn't reach full potential. With him coming back they are again as used to be

Efes shouldn't separate their splash brothers at any cost

Maybe, but just Maybe Satoransky could be decent replace.

More or less all the local players are same for me and won't make big effects at the end of the day. Imo, Efes should keep these players; Dunston, Pleiss, Singleton, Bryant, Anderson, Larkin, Micic. And with the addings of #5, #4 and a #2-#3 guy, you could add any local players you wish I prefer Gazi, Tuncer to stay most.
