  • 2019 FIBA World Cup qualifiers - EUROPE

    Probably the most flawed competition going, but I'm rather surprised by no thread. While no NBA, and potentially Euroleague, players will be competing the stakes are still rather high. Aside from this being an entrance into the World Cup, it's also the only way into the Olympics as well.

    A, E, G (and partially B) groups look really competitive.

    As for my own country, rather good draw, Poland and Hungary is no match for Lithuania.
    LTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:

    Jokubaitis, Marciulionis, Laurencikas
    Indrusaitis, Brazdeikis, Rubstavicius
    Buzelis, Lelevicius
    Murauskas, Sirvydis
    Tubelis, Krivas

        Seems like one of Slovenia/Latvia/Turkey won't make it to the next round.

        No group will be easy if Euroleague players decide not to participate.

            It's not a final decision, we have to wait till July, then clubs might change their minds, but today I've read Vatutin's interview, he said that none of the clubs wants their players to play, so I guess chances are slim. It's pointless to think what kind of teams we'd have then, cause lot of players will change clubs during summer, but it still would be freaking awful

              Yes, awful. And always FIBA is a problem.

              For example Serbia - Jokic, Bjelica, Marjanovic and Zagorac in NBA, probably Bogdanovic and Teodosic. In Euroleague are Jovic, Nedovic, Simonovic, Guduric, Kalinic, Kuzmic, Milutinov, Macvan, Musli and Raduljica.

              Our best player will be Stevan Jelovac.

                Pretty much the same here. NBA and Zalgiris is the core, then Maciulis in Real, Kalnietis in Milan. Coach already called 38yo Ksystof Lavrinovic and he said he'll help if healthy and of course if he won't play in Eurocup again... Probably he'd be our leader

                  BTW, today I've read Vatutin's (CSKA GM) interview, and he said he asked FIBA, what will they do if f.e. France will send 3rd string players and won't qualify at all, FIBA replied - we'll give them wildcard.... FFS

                    This is becoming U20 competition..

                    I think that NT is too important in Lithuania and Zalgiris rather play their Euroleague games with youngsters and let their Lith players to play in NT.

                      Good point. At least I can imagine some players wanting to go for it. What would Euroleague do if most or some teams would "tank" couple of rounds? If they would "rest'" some of the players. They could do nothing.

                        In early years maybe, but this season Zalgiris has been close to top8, so i don't think it can happen.

                          Due to his elegance and imagination, Mirza Delibasic was one of the continent's greatest ever players.

                            BiH roster for the first match vs Sweden

                            - PG Alex Renfroe(86') 6'3'' Galatasaray

                            - PG Adi Zahiragić(95') 6'2'' Spars

                            - PG Amar Gegić(98') 6'7'' Bayern

                            - SG Almir Hasandić(90') 6'3'' Sloboda

                            - SG/SF Nedžad Muratović(95') 6'7'' Sloboda

                            - SG/SF Edin Atić(97') 6'7'' AEK

                            - SG/SF Džanan Musa(99') 6'9'' Cedevita

                            - SF Adin Vrabac(94') 6'8'' Partizan

                            - SF/PF Aleksandar Lazić(96') 6'9'' Mega

                            - C Ismet Sejfić(93') 6'10'' Pannon

                            - C Markus Lončar(96') 7'0'' Široki

                            - C Obrad Tomić(93') 6'10'' Partizan


                            We are without any real power forward, seems like Duško Vujošević likes to use Vrabac or Lazić on that position.


                            Tonight we played preparation game vs Austria. Jakob Poeltl was in their team.

                              Seems like Jordan Theodore will play for the Macedonia and some other teams should have interesting American names in their roster.
