I can understand liking him if he’s on your team the refs absolutely loved him. but maybe that is just their overall love for Boston in general

the u19 world cup continues haha turkiye have three dudes that absolutely tower over these koreans TUR 6'9'' Berke BUYUKTUNCEL of Tofas SC had a double double yesterday against Argentina and looks primed for another one here tonight, he's wearing number three korea staying in it with steals and quick transition offense. their set plays aren't sharp enough to penetrate turkish paint present and end up in more distant shots that korea haven't hit quite yet. TDepressionEarl has issued a correction as of 16:29 on Jun 25, 2023 |

euphronius posted:the refs absolutely loved him the ref factor was another unfortunate aspect of jordan poole's rapid decline. they definitely looked for carry dribbles because he does like to carry, looks rad, it's illegal. i think he can still be an all-star player on a rebuilding team if he works on (or is taken off) the dribble and makes his shots. but maybe like once. his finest moments were as spiritual sixth man starting for the load managed star.

memphis has really good reason to be optimistic now that they have marcus smart. the dpoy field was way deeper last year so no encore, but marcus smart's overall offense improved a lot, his own shotmaking improved a little but his point play will be a treat if he can hook up ja or adams on the lob.

upon closer inspection i am not sure turkiye u19 have a true point guard, they seem loathe to take threes, they swing their passes around and use their height advantage to move the ball in the air but they still give up a lot of turnovers, their small guys that look like guards are actually just crashing the boards really well.

Ardis SIVAS (6'0'' turkish point guard playing for Gaziantep Basketbol in Turkiye), perhaps I was too harsh. While Buyutuncel is clearly the engine for the turkish offense, Sivas does go defense to offense. the turkish game plan of playing the offensive rebound suppressing the statistical assist Hamza MESTOGLU (6'8'' turkish forward playing for CB Ucam Murcia in Spain) makes one three and korea get dragged out of the paint, silly mistake, gotta camp in the paint when the laws allow you against the bigger team. i'm sure their coach called time to remind them of that. Yuhyeon MOON (6'2'' south korean guard) is 4/4 from three and keeping it within a couple possessions, Junhwi SEOK (6'3'' south korean forward) gets two steals in a row and will shoot a pair and get the ball back, it's a take foul aka "unsportsmanlike"

Oh yeah Berke Buyuktuncel did get his double double in the third quarter some time ago. Won't have enough time for a triple double despite leading his team in assists. Sivas finally gets his first three to go and it's timely, young turks lead by ten going into the home stretch. Yuhyeon Moon leads scorers in the TUR-KOR match with 22. Haesol LEE staves off garbage time with a desperate three, he's 4/8 from distance but 4/11 overall. across the board korea have had difficulty making their inside shots. the chart looks well spaced but korea are 12/23 on twos and 3/11 in the area between the paint and the arc. Mestoglu had a nice late surge to close the game for Turkey. A neat eurostep, and some free throws for 11 off the bench. Buyuktuncel finishes the game in style, big dunk with the pass courtesy of 6'8'' forward Karahan EFEOGLU. Efeoglu only fell short of a double double by one board, games are eight minutes shorter remember.

Dylan HARPER (Don Bosco Prep, Ramsey, New Jersey) makes the United States first three after a 17 minute drought from far to start the game. Slovenija ain't nothing to gently caress, with Kocevar's board to Vide out to Macura dunk in transition so quick three seconds maybe. USA call timeout trailing by ten with two left in the first half.

Eric DAILEY JR (6'6'' forward out of Oklahoma State) dunks and leads American scorers so far with 8. Kocevar draws a foul from Harper, he misses both shots and Dailey collects the rebound. Dailey plays the screen and drives but can't get his tenth. Halftime SLO 40 USA 33

Vukasin TODOROVIC (6'9'' forward for Cedevita Olimpija, Ljubljana, Slovenia) with big impact off the bench. collects a long bounce offensive board, drives it to score, making free throws too. Oooh and to end the half Todorovic draws a shooting foul from Awaka on a shot clock forced three. He makes two of three. After more free throws from the US, the Slovenian lead is back up to nine.

Dylan Harper, son of Ron, is going to be a beast. 6'4 guard, decent stroke and can drive at will. He does have weird release on his shot though.

Sergej Macura closing in on twenty points he leads scorers. He fouls Tre Johnson though. Only five fouls so Osojnik and Ian Jackson are on their last. Sweeet spin by Dylan Harper game closing up Ven-Allen LUBIN (6'8' forward' out of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee) plastered Jan Vide and ties the game

US lead by a single point with four to go, Tre Johnson can't get his three to go, Jan VIde out runs, enters along the left side post into the paint and layup. I am really impressed by Jan Vide.

Boswell finally getting some buckets, Vide roars back the other way and with two minutes to go, the score in knotted at 71. United States call time.

oooh a choke by Jan Vide, with the shot clock off and down three, Slovenia can't keep the ball on the inbound. Forced to foul chaos in transition Tre Johnson makes both to put the US up five. That oughta do it with three seconds left, Slovenia will call a timeout to advance the ball but it is a formality. United States come back from down double digits to take it back in the fourth quarter. Both teams shot like poo poo from three, but Slovenia sagged and stumbled while Dailey, Boswell, and Awaka went inside. Tobe Awaka finishes with a 14/11 double double, definitely today's man of the match over formidable Sergei Marcura who was 19/5/2, and Jan Vide who was 17/3/5 Final SLO 72 USA 77

The Hungary Argentina game was incredibly close as well, worth a watch. That's it for today, there's one more group stage game day after tomorrow. Spain could be the strongest team in the tourney, they dismantled France before the third quarter ended but I didn't pay much attention to that game. Teams with two wins are: Spain, USA, Serbia, Turkiye, and Hungary. TUR-HUN face off for the top of their group. Expect a raucous home arena against rivals. Top two in each group go on, losers stay in town and play in a losers bracket because we flew these prospects to Europe, can't afford to only play three games.
