Mamu is a big wing. Teams should take a chance on him.

France stopped being serious contender once their final roster was announced.

Roster was still correct to reach bronze, but some have to grew up (Coulibaly, Risacher), and other to find how to be as good they are when playing euroleague (Malédon). When your 12th man is Nadir Hifi, you must beat Georgia (with a good starting five, but no bench).

I am worried about point guard. Since Parker we had Thomas no defense Heurtel or Frank no offense Ntilikina, and I am not talking about Albicy or De Colo as PG instead of SG...
I hoped Malédon could finally make it, or even Francisco.
So now I hope Strazel will be back stronger and Nolan Traoré being a good NBA point guard as a rookie.

For all other positions I am not worried (Coulibaly and Risacher are growing up, Wemby, Lessort, Fournier will be back, Raynaud, Penda, Essengue, Beringer will show up ...).

So, see you for 2026 wolrd cup.

Ps: come on Lithuania!!

Post #1606 » by **Mavrelous** » Sun Sep 7, 2025 3:49 pm

Barely 8 and a half minutes in, 20 points for Luka.

It's one of those situations where everyone is kind of nervous because it's win or go home, but then one guy decides to completely dominate from the very first minute.

What a final four for a EuroBasket

You can look at it this way, or you could look at it as, this is the tournament where NBA superstars couldn't even make into top 8. There are always two sides of the coin.

In short , NBA is overrated :lol:

That was the best offensive quarter i've ever seen in FIBA ball btw,not Galis,not Drazen,nobody...

He is destroying Italy...

Locked in Luka is a cheat.
It also doesn't hurt that Italy is pretty "meh" team

levon · Post #1612 » by **levon** » Sun Sep 7, 2025 3:53 pm

Luka doubles up Italy in the first quarter.

Don't forget Luka stealing the ball in the first 2 Italy possessions.

Is Nico Harrison the Italy GM in the off-season or why is Luka destroying them like that?

levon · Post #1615 » by **levon** » Sun Sep 7, 2025 3:57 pm

It's hard to discern heights in Eurobasket because I don't have frames of reference, but is Slovenia basically running 4 guards and an undersized center?

Lakers getting a motivated and prime Luka for years to come is not fair lol....

Niang is going to be a nice player. Steal for the Cavs.

European champion will be (poll starting at 1/4 finals) ?
