      Greece lost to Spain with 85:63. Very bad shooting performance of Greece. A game with many many turnovers of both sides

        The turkish teams roster is anounced:

        Atakan Erdek (Bandırma Kırmızı)

        Alperen Şengün (Bandırma Kırmızı)

        Furkan Haltalı (Bandırma Kırmızı)

        Boran Güler (Bandırma Kırmızı)

        Adem Bona (Pınar Karşıyaka)

        Berkan Aksu (Tofaş)

        Ömer Can İlyasoğlu (Anadolu Efes)

        Göktuğ Baş (Anadolu Efes)

        Mustafa Kurtuldum (Anadolu Efes)

        Tarık Sezgün (Anadolu Efes)

        Tibet Deniz Görener (Montverde Academy / ADB)

        Ömer Yasir Küçük (Ormanspor)

        I am sorry for dude Sarper David Mutaf but he had a bad prep time. Nevertheless he is a great prospect and has now time to work for his individual weaknesses. Önder Atun showed that he is not the player who will make the jump to the bsl. Aksu and Güler are their substitutes. Interesting will be to see two year younger Adem Bonas performance.

                  So friends of basketball the tournament is about to start. Some words to team turkey. We have the most sized team of the tournament and Görener, Erdek, Kurtuldum and Bona means that well play very fast transition Basketball and our set game weapoin will be Alperen Sengün. Despite having great size we have still uncomplete player. Tibet Deniz Görener is too skinny and 2003 Forward/Center Bona might have a problem with ball handling. Want to see how they worked against their clumsiness with the ball.

                    I assume that, if Garuba is healthy, Spain is favorite.

                    Germany has a good team too, and then usual candidates as France, Lithaunia, Serbia and turkey good teams too

                      I want to see Garuba against Alperen Sengün. I think Garuba is overrated.

                        We have some great talents, but not really a good, balanced team based on the preparation games. I am skeptical.

                            Great ball sharing of turkey. We had partly problems with playmaking especially in the time where kücük wasnt on the court but our forwards did a very good job. Sezgün was the only really bad guy today. He is still too clumsy and soft. Actually that kid is really a big waste, i would use another comparison for him but Göksenin will get mad again.

                            Anyway Kurtuldum is clear, bona had a great defensive game but cant still contribute in a set game but this was expected. Görener did a great job. He looks more aggressive and coordinated but still needs to get stronger and he grew. Atakan Erdek is a good forward at finishing but its a really bad idea to use him as playmaker. We need Ilyasoglu against serious teams.

                              Why didn't İlyasoğlu play?
                              5 out 6 scientists say Russian roulette is safe.
