Kudos to our guys. Mert Konuk was named the MVP of this tournament. 22 PPG. It really sucks there was no stream. I really don't think it is so hard to afford a camera and a cameraman to this type of tournament. According to stats, the problematic part of this team was the assists and sharing the ball. It is not a big surprise for me since I couldn't see Eray Akyüz in the team who is one of the good PGs that we have raised in the recent years. He averaged 6 APG himself in the latest tournament but as far as I see, we averaged the same number of assists in this tournament as ''team''. That's a bad sign for this generation. Watching Mert Konuk is a pleasure. He is Onuralp Bitim of this generation, not the same type of SG but definitely has the same scoring instinct. We will see if he can shoulder his team this summer.
