Hezonja with croatia

Patrick1978 · Post #1 » by **Patrick1978** » Mon Aug 17, 2015 6:47 pm

Hezonja didn t play very good the last 2 games with his national Team.
He doesn t really look like a number 5 pick.
I hope it will not translate into the season.
I am a little bit worried :roll:

It's hard to get a read on this national team stuff. Fournier is a legit quality NBA rotation player but barely squeaks onto the team. He also looked blah last summer for France, unable to hit a shot. This year he was top 25 in TS% among shooting guards.

So I wouldn't worry about it, unless you're expecting Hezonja to start or play 30+ MPG.

I'm curious how he's actually doing. I tried looking it up, but I have no idea about int'l basketball. I got to here, I see him on the roster, but finding box scores eludes me. Any help?

could be a bust, but I won't judge him until I see him play some NBA games. Rob has done well in the draft so far.

There is a lot of politics and veteran favoritism in National team play.

Unless we are talking about the US Men's National Soccer team. In that case it's just politics.

I really hope that mario performs good during the season.
It would be frustrating if he would be a bust.
He has all the tools to succeed.
His recent play for the croatian team worries me

Looks to be playing just fine to me... that cross court pass at 1:00 was spectacular.

Info from these pre-EuroBasket friendly matches has been scarce and hard to come by. But there's been an effort to compile the boxscore stats over on the FIBA Watch 2015 thread:

Team Croatia
Friendlies
Jul 29: New Zealand
Aug 7: Bosnia-Herzegovina
Aug 14: Germany 5 pts, 2 reb, 2 ast, 4 to, 3 stl, 0 blk, 1-2 fg, 1-2 3p, 2-2 ft, 15 min
Aug 16: Germany 4 pts, 2 reb, 0 ast, 0 to, 0 stl, 0 blk, 1-4 fg, 1-4 3p, 1-2 ft, 18 min

Hezonja's game translates to the NBA far more than international ball. Look at the SUmmer league results to be convinced.

I really don't want to troll or anything, but I am just not a big fan of this guy. What makes him so much better than lets say Davis Bertans? Overrated IMO.

GeekHann · Post #18 » by **GeekHann** » Tue Aug 18, 2015 4:56 pm

Don't judge him on friendly games, wait at least for tournament to start.
I'm Croatian and I think that Hezonja will be the best Croatian player ever in NBA.
Magic fans gonna love him, he's well worth the 5th pick.

Hennigan's + Lloyd's scouting > yours

I am creating a thread to bash him as soon as he misses his first shot in warmups in training camp
