Jazz players at the World Cup

i wonder what some of the american posters here think about emir preldzic if you followed turkey games on this tournament, i think he has been selected by wizards but not yet stepped on nba, do you guys think he can be successful in nba?

His court vision, all around game, pnr offense, post up game as a perimeter player (rare skill for European player) and versality
( playing 2-3 and being effective as point forward ) exactly make him NBA player. I try to imagine him playing for Golden State, Timberwolves, Rockets etc. His defense, durability and inconsistent play would stop him to take serious min though.
 
Neto is having a great game for Brazil vs Argentina. Shooting really well - 7/8, 1/1 from 3. 15 pts so far.
 
Are you guys watching Brazil vs Argentina? Raulzinho Neto is playing a great game!
.

Yes, Neto is playing great. Wish he was in a Jazz uni. Anybody with knowledge of his contract know if there is a chance he could still come over? Just hit another 3. Definitely better than Exum or perhaps Burke right now,
 
I just asked if you guys were watching Neto's game, the right question should be does anybody know if Dennis Lindsey watched that game?
 
Neto took his team to the 1/4 finals coming off the bench, shooting 9/10
Exum did not play much, looked fine on D but was a non factor overall

If he hasn't signed his rookie deal we could. I wouldn't, but we could.

I agree actually. I said long before this tourney that I thought "staggering" was a bad route to go, and it made more sense to me that if you have 3 young guys playing point guard, you kind of treat it like a QB competition. Let them all be here, let them all practice against each other/together, let the comparisons come from them being directly in front of your face. The Jazz obviously don't agree.
 
Good game Australia. I wish the game went a little less thrashing around but it goes by the territory of elimination stage. Preldzic really felt on fire. His shot selection was not too good but he knew he would nail it.

Next game against Lithuania. Tough, tough opponent. Will be a great success for this roster of Türkiye if they achieve.


Why has Emir Preldzic not joined the NBA yet? He has looked good in literally every tourney I've ever seen him play in.
 
Argentinas coach is standing up for spanish.

The mediator told the press that the press that the coference was in English only so the coach responded in spanish. Dude asked him to respect that it wa an english press conference to which he replied "but they speak spanish" He kinda threw up his hands and said ok. Then answered the next question in spanish anyway. Fiba Dude ended the press conference. It was weird.

Looks like someone else thought of this before I did.

problem is he doesnt take as much time in fenerbahce as he is supposed to take. he either wants to make his mark in europe and have a great season before going to nba or usa is too far away , he doesnt wanna move his lazy *** to go there
