He also flops like Trey

Yes, he has even got technical for flopping.

Anyway, Ntilikina and Hardy won't see many minutes, if he plays half good as he's playing in Eurobasket.

That's sure :lol:

Tobey has got contract with Barca mostly because Luka makes him better than he really is. So it's not exactly for nothing. And you have to understand that playing for NT give them EU passport, which makes their professional career much easier. 3rd thing is, they couldn't be part of those international competition as Americans. I believe going in Olympics must be dreams come through for Tobey.

But I agree, they give it all on the court.

How did Mike Tobey end up in Slovenia?

Dorsey's mother is from Israel/Greece.

From her name, looks like she's Arab Greek Orthodox, born to Greek father, he's well connected to Greece if so.

Tobey is 2 levels below from what he was last year. It's crazy how many open shots he missed so far this year. Luka is visibly getting frustrated with him.

Bosnia putting up a great fight so far.

Luka should be frustrated about his FTs. He is worse at FTs than an average U14 player. Its embarrassing.

He was, but he was served everything on a platter. He is playing much worse than he had in the past.

Slovenia needs a TO ASAP

It wasn't Slovenias day, Luka/Tobi P&R stopped working, Luka was off from 3, and Bosnia wanted it bad.

Slovenia is too limited, a bad game happens... They are not contender despite Luka.

Luka has been off from three all summer. Last 3 games he is at 18%. His FTs are even worse, at 50% for the summer (about 10 games now).

Yeah, his shot is way off, he relied on driving and P&R until this game, and Tobi having a bad game sealed it, I don't remember Luka looking this helpless.

Georgia beat Turkey, this day is full of surprises.

You can`t compare them.

Dorseys mum is from Greece and he already played for their national team during u19 world championship in 2015.
Tobey never played for a slovenian team or has any slovenian roots.
