Welcome to Boston, Neemias Queta!!!

It's a high level tournament when Luka Doncic is the third best player. Porzingis is ranked 6th. Queta is 9th.

Top 10 NBA players at 2025 EuroBasket

9. Neemias Queta, Portugal
2025-26 age: 26 | Boston Celtics

2024-25 estimated projections: minus-0.4 offense | plus-0.7 defense | plus-0.2 overall

Queta posted an impressive plus-4.6 RAPTOR in a very limited sample of 333 minutes (11.9 MPG) in 2023-24 but fell to minus-0.1 in an expanded role with 863 minutes in Boston's crowded center rotation last season. He didn't exactly have the same on-versus-off-court team efficiency split (plus-9.4 per 100 possessions) he had boasted a year before. Still, league-average NBA players don't exactly grow on trees, and this is a good chance for Queta to improve on a relatively high-level international stage.

That reminds me my new frame for Luka Doncic, as in, all the top players in their primes have now won a single title let's see who wins the 2nd/the most over their careers.

Ie, Jokic, Giannis, Sga, Tatum.

It's a high level tournament when Luka Doncic is the third best player. Porzingis is ranked 6th. Queta is 9th. Garza is listed in "Other Players to Watch" for Bosnia and Herzegovina. I did not realize he was playing.

That article also list Moussa Diabaté among the players to watch which is going to be hard to do considering he was cut from the final roster and even refused to came back after Poirier's injury opened up a spot in the frontcourt. In case anybody was wondering what the journalistic standards are at ESPN these days and whether that article means anything. Not even touching the fact that Coulibaly, Risacher and Sarr where all much better choices to begin with.
