Both of these players have already been Besiktas players for a year. Due to licensing and citizenship procedures, they didn't play official games last year. Edin Bacevac plays as a guard and is Bosnian, while Rrezon Elezaj, who plays as a C, is Albanian. Bacevac especially is genuinely talented. Despite being one year younger, he can play at the same level as Yagiz Aksu. A small indicator of his skill level. Of course since neither of them has played an official game everything being discussed at the moment remains uncertain. Bacevac is said to be a relative of a former Fenerbahce basketball player, but I don't know who that relative is. They managed to convince him to play for Turkey at the last minute, just as he was about to go to Germany, it is said.

Sports is not only considered as a superiority of physical capability. Perception, intelligence and morality assist it as well. The strong with less intelligence and comprehension can not cope with the less strong but with sufficient intelligence and comprehension. I like the sportsman who is intelligent, agile as well as morally upright.Mustafa Kemal ATATURK -
Mert Akay, who is in the Cedevita Olimpija roster, will not be able to play next season because his ACL is torn, i'm told.Comment

Since this year the roles in our teams were better. The leaders got more minutes and more opportunities. But 1 player had to fight for minutes and his name is Melih Tunca. Melih was always an underdog for his coaches, he earned his minutes with his strong performances and had to leave the court after 1 mistake, same for Efes and NT. Its crazy because he is almost always the best player for his team, turkish coaches........
Im pretty sure if we would ask 16 coaches of the U18 european championship, more coaches would choose Melih over MVP Topic for who is more interesting for the future.
If Melih would play like a man i think he has the potential to change the face of NT. Derin Can Ustun had a great game against Lithuania, without Kaan Onat he would have good chances for a win. In that game Derin Can Ustun showed exactly what we want to see from a turkish G, exactly that would change the face of NT.Originally posted by slice me nice View PostComment

Both Larkin as foreign player and Ozdemiroglu as injury, there is realistic opportunity for Tunca. Hope he is ready and Can gives him minutes.Comment

Melih tunca finished with 12 points in his friendly with the first team

I have tried to watch some preparation games and Yigitoglu still looks lost in this level. Zero positive sign on both sides. Another bad new that the coach uses Konan as a back up center. Cengiz is still playing with very bad productivity.Comment

I quite disagree with what's being said about Yigitoglu. I believe he has provided exactly the expected contribution as a back-up center player. He has played six preparation games so far, averaging 7 points, which is a very positive result, especially for a player who wasn't considered a significant offensive threat, with the effect of the tendency for foreign players to prove themselves by using more shots than they will used to do during incoming season. Physically, he seems ready to compete at high-level basketball, and I believe he will receive similar playing time in official games as he did in preparation games. Besiktas has a promising team this season and in this team that will gradually grow throughout the season, I expect Yigitoglu to solidify his place more and evolve into a more effective and impactful player within the team. His performance against few Euroleague-level big-men in preseason games convinced me that he can do more. For a player still in the active learning phase, averaging 15 minutes of playing time in Besiktas this season would be a fantastic development for his career ladder.Originally posted by Camoka View PostSports is not only considered as a superiority of physical capability.

Sarper David Mutaf with a 19 points game against Bonn. A hell of a shooter who can create for himself. We need such a guy besides Bona and Sengun. We need to stretch the floor and Biberovic case must come to a finish.

At this point, I am really excited for the third year leap of Sengun. He is top 20 in all NBA almost every indicator. However, it is really hard to select 12 players for the National team at the moment. For me, only Sengun, Osman and Bona are locked. Korkmaz, Bitim, Yurtseven of course usual suspects. Arslan and Yılmaz having a nice season. Sipahi? I think it is really hard to decide rotation for Ataman. But one thing is clear that Sengun needs to play at 5 not at 4. I believe Bona can do better job than Jabari in defence. Offence is a question mark. I can not follow Turkish league this season properly because there is no player except Tunca to follow as a Turkish prospect. Therefore, I am not sure about the current performances of other Turkish players.Last edited by Camoka; 11-22-2023, 11:48 AM.Comment
