Originally posted by Toruko View PostI talked to a family member of him. He is in training to strengthen his body to be fully ready. He is just afraid to injure himself again, thats why he takes things slowly. Should be starting playing within a month.LTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:
Jokubaitis, Marciulionis, Laurencikas
Indrusaitis, Brazdeikis, Rubstavicius
Buzelis, Lelevicius
Murauskas, Sirvydis
Tubelis, Krivas

It doesnt look like that Ömer Yurtseven will make it for very long in the NBA. He has too lazy legs to survive in the NBA. He improved his block timing but is still a liability on defense. Miami can still teach him to be the best version of himself. He is a body and is gonna be a very solid center in Euroleague.

In this video you see Derin Can Üstün(07, PG/SG, Bahcesehir) with no 13. This kid is a special G-talent. He is the most impressive prospect of Turkey in the small positions since Onuralp Bitim. None of the turkish G-talents had his full package . I´m following him since U12, back then he played for Isik and you could easily see how huge talent he has. In this season i watched 3 games of him, the last yesterday at Instagram page of this user. It was again against Efes and he had a very impressive game. High IQ with brutal driving skills(but only from left side), shot and not mature. This kid is special, not typical turkish G, he draws fouls, very smart, has shot, just everything. I´m pretty sure he will be very dominant in Fiba tournaments too, at least in the U16 level. He is 1 year younger as the competition. Watch this kid, his name is DERIN CAN ÜSTÜN
In this video we can see again a blonde Bahcesehir G with no 10, i don´t know his name but look at this talent. A talent like Derin Can Üstün but 2 years younger. Big time 1v1-talent, very unmature, great physical tools. For sure we will see him in the next years etc......
In this week, Kerem Konan played PG in the second half against weak competition. And he played pnr with the big. If this further in the next time and against better competition, sky is the limit for this highly interesting kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYi5ZsOtAqw

Great game of my Bandirma boy Sadik Emir Kabaca with 12 points and 3 rebounds against Nymburk in FIBA CL with a solid defense. A hardly believed in him but he found his role and filled it out perfectly. Very versatile scorer, can shoot and work on the low post, can even create very well in the low post for himself. Runs the floor very fast and plays very good iso defense as well as low post defense is also very intense.

Sadik Emir was never a very promising prospect in my eyes despite his great physical tools. He was a horrible TO prone who couldnt grab a ball in the move but slowly but steadily he is finding his basketball game. I wrote many things about his game so i wont repeat myself but a guy who turned just 21 and averages 8,3 points with 5 rebounds and very solid defense is clearly an EL prospect. Never expected it so early tbh. I am just not sure if its too early for him but great progress without a doubt.

Sadik Emir Kabaca what an unexpected rise Great combination of talent and physicality. A bit more coordination and strength he will be a monster. What a frame!
Reminds me of Jan Vesely.
