Looks like Fran Pilepic to me.

If it's him, he recently played for Bilbao in Spain and signed a contract with Cedevita a couple of weeks ago.

Planinić and Pilepić cut from the team..
kind of expected.
it is now squad of 15, so 3 more to be cut.
they travelled to Pau for the tournament over the weekend (France, Serbia, Greece).

thanks for sharing this..
to answer your question, not for the WC..

[Picek]

just turned on the broadcast of France - Croatia game..
was following the score in the first half and France had something like 26-10 lead.
it was 44-33 HT leat

end of third, it is 57-64 now..
so we outscored France 31-13 in the third quarter..
Tomić, Bogdanović, Ukić and Žorić playing their first prep game..
Šarić playing really good and he looks like a monster (in a positive way)..
added something like additional 6-7 kg of muscles.
even usually athletic frenchies have problems pushing him around..

edit: France won 81-71 eventhough with 8 minutes to go we had 69-59 lead.
Repeša then changed our rotation and france took away our easy baskets and made us play 5 on 5..
Lafayette didn't react to good on it..
anyway, we lost to France by 30 something points last year during preparations.

[Picek]

Stipčević cut from the team (as expected)..
it is a 14 man roster now..
two more to be cut..
most probably two bigs..

Croatia is a very good team. I don't know which route they will follow but even Spain would be in trouble against them.

[Straight forward]

Best Croatia in years. Probably got less attention than deserves. Now the quetion is the guts. Are they ready to be among the best.
