Ersan Ilyasova Update

[Joana]

Watched the 1st half, Ily played well, and did a good job on the defensive paint against Pekovic, Fotsis and Batiste, probably the strongest big men rotation in Europe. IMO, Panathinaikos is more than fairly solid, oshmeehan; they're probably a top-2 team, certainly a top-5 team. However, tonight they were terrible, they simply didn't show up to play, Barça blew them away from the 1st minute. Disappointing performance for such a stacked team.

As a side note, Haislip had a lackluster game vs. Olympiacos (Childress team). 11 pts, 5 rbds in 30 minutes, but allowed Olympiacos big men to dominate.
