Summer 2015: FIBA games of Utah Jazz players

Well they can't prohibit it, but I suspect the Jazz will strongly suggest he stay in SLC to rehab under the supervision of the trainers and doctors.
 
even as an aussie, i would rather he didn't. We aren't going to win a medal so i don't see a whole lot of point. He won't play a tonne of minutes as he won't be established in the team so the downside of potentially getting hurt again greatly outweighs playing a handful of sporadic minutes.

Lets be honest about it right now Patty Mills is a better player certainly on the offensive side so Australia probably came out ahead for this tournament.
 
Jazz rights hold Tomic and potential Jazz player Furkan Korkmaz face off at 7:45am MT tomorrow. What is strange that most of these prep games even involving two teams you think would produce a competitive game have been blowouts.

Just curious, but why do you say "potential Jazz player Furkan Korkmaz?"
 
Is Egemen Guven playing? He's projected in the 2nd round by one draft site. he could be a future Jazz player.

Sorry, I just find it funny to refer to someone as a "potential Jazz player." Do we do that when NCAA games are played. Are we going to say "potential Jazz player" Jakob Poetli before each Utah game?

Nope booted off Turkey team for sucking. Just kidding but he was cut. Teams are now starting to get down to the 12 they are allowed. Korkmaz will hopefully get some run as he is a potential Jazz player.
 
Aussie plays NZ in a hour for a spot in the Olympics. Strange format in that they only play two games. So if they split the two games point differential determines the Olympic spot. Seems like they could play the 3rd game in a neutral location or something.

exactly .. so if he isn't going to play much or have any real influence it isn't worth the risk for him

He just said it once. You know who Poetl is, so there is no point in saying that the Jazz could potentially draft him because you probably should know that. You probably didn't know that Turkish dude was a future NBA player.

I thought it was weird too

When I read the post I thought that the jazz had some kind of contract in the works or some kind of connection otherwise.

It turns out that he is just a good basketball player.

He should have just said "potential nba player"

He will probably be around where we draft, though and we need shooters.
