    TÜR is surprisingly strong but other favorites are weaker this time.

    Clear blowout against Estonia after 1st quarter. Estonia committed almost 10 fouls against quality and size of Turkish frontcourt. 14 free throws, 4 turnovers for Türkiye all while trying to get to ball inside to alpi. He won't play 4th quarter probably.

    He is having a boner against less talented smaller Estonian bigs lol. Team preserving energy for deciding match against Serbia this Wednesday.

    It is blasphemous how one sided the Euros have become, a part of teams are just shooting 3s and have virtually no Inside game.

    Of course a team that have an Inside Out Game would dominate.

    Not going after Giannis should be the great move, having the development of Alperen over the next 5 years should be Fun.

    Today he made 21-8-5 in 32 minutes. The best part was 2/3 3 pointers and 3/3 free throws. That makes a cumulative 33% in 3s and 82% in free throws in the 4 games so far

    Man, we're underutilizing the Senhub, I hope now that Jalen is gone that Sengun will be allowed to be the rock handler more often.

    As an all-star that's how it should be.

    Didn't the Rox have interest in Ardem Boner once.

    Jumper is looking better. If he can get a respectable middy and 30-32% 3pt, watch out

    If his middy becomes a weapon, just pencil in 25+ ppg this coming season and even more assists. Rockets could absolutely crush zone defenses by putting Alpi at the FT line and running the "Senhub". Whatever poison the defense chose would be fatal.

    Everytime I watch him play he reminds me of Ginobili. The Eurostep behind the back and layups off the glass. Always seen more Ginobili than Scola since he attacks from perimeter. Plus the sneaky athleticism where he surprises you by dunking on someone.

    Yes, they both think out of the box and have strong intuition.
