@mikegrib8 Yep, only concerns for me is paying a high price for a center with his defensive issues, other than that a very good addition.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

Mavs must have gotten the news that there’s a 95% chance Luka will have to amputate both his legs.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

The whole thing seems absurd. Luka was willing to extend his contract, no trade request, no priorly known big issues between Luka and the organization and a very poor compensation for a player of his level.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

This might just be the worst trade I’ll see in my lifetime.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

The “win-now” justification is absolutely ridiculous. They just traded arguably the best player in the world for a significantly worst player who isn’t getting any better at this point in his career and is known to be injury prone.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

Mark Cuban sold the Mavs for them to do this…

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

This might just be the worst trade I’ll see in my lifetime.

Clippers needed a backup PG upgrade and some frontcourt depth, but I hope this isn’t all lol

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

The Los Angeles Clippers are trading PJ Tucker, Mo Bamba, a future second-round pick and cash to the Utah Jazz for Drew Eubanks and Patty Mills, sources tell me and @BobbyMarks42.

Onyeka Okongwu's last 3 games:

22 Pts, 21 Reb, 1 Stl
14 Pts, 13 Reb, 7 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk
19 Pts, 13 Reb, 4 Blk

Not bad for a backup center.

Mathias Alessanco 🇧🇷(08') is confirmed as a part of the NGT Select Team for next week's ANGT in Munich. Mathias proved himself Brazil's top prospect after a great perfomance in the Americup U18 and debuting for the senior team last year. Should be an interesting player to watch.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

Been enjoying to watch Bogoljub Markovic 🇷🇸 (05'). Skilled 6'11 forward averaging 14.5 Pts, 7.9 Reb and 2.6 Ast on 52/40/78 splits in the ABA.
If the shot can be consistent, Markovic has a really nice set of skills combined with his fluidity, decent handle and touch inside.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

Interesting numbers I was going through today: teams that have produced the most NBA prospects drafted since 2010:
1-Mega 🇷🇸: 15
2-Barcelona 🇪🇸: 8
3-Partizan 🇷🇸: 7
4-Crvena Zvezda 🇷🇸: 4
4 Real Betis 🇪🇸: 4
4-NZ Breakers 🇳🇿: 4

Quite a lot of NBA talent being produced in Serbia

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

Reynan dos Santos 🇧🇷 (04') is having himself a pretty nice season in Brazil after a season at OTE. Extended his range to the 3PT line, which was the one piece missing for him, shooting 41% on 5 attempts per game.
Also, high overall production with 17.2 Pts, 4 Reb, 2 Ast a game.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

Finally done with my finals so I can go back to what's actually important: watching 12 hours of basketball every day.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

@mikegrib8 He’s the type of prospect Brazil hasn’t produced lately, I’m pretty excited for him too.

Ben Saraf at the #FIBAU18 EuroBasket so far:

31 Pts, 8 Ast, 2 Stl, 2 Blk vs.🇱🇻
19 Pts, 7 Ast, 6 Reb vs.🇮🇹
18 Pts, 4 Ast, 3 Stl vs.🇷🇸
40 Pts, 8 Reb, 4 Stl vs.🇪🇸
23 pts, 5 Reb, 5 Ast, 2 Stl vs.🇫🇷
40 Pts, 6 Reb, 5 Ast, 8 Stl vs.🇷🇸

Averaging 28.5 Pts, 5.3 Ast, 5.3 Reb, 3.5 Stl

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

Fantastic game from Ben Saraf 🇮🇱 (06') in today's win over Spain at the #FIBAU18 EuroBasket.
40 Pts, 8 Reb, 3 Ast and 4 Stl in 34 minutes

The 6'6 Israeli guard is proving himself as a high-level prospect this tournament, averaging 27/5/6.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

FIBA making a new measurement system listing players at 5'12.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

Nathan Missia-Dio 🇧🇪 (04') had a big game last night against Iceland at the #FIBAU20 EuroBasket.
35 Pts, 16 Reb, 3 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 Blk
The OTE big man was a missmatch machine all night, spaced the floor and was impactful on the boards.

[Poliseli @BBall_Poliseli]

@SlamDunkScout Thanks, really appreciate it!

FIBA U17 World Cup Standouts

It has been a while since I wrote any long-form basketball content, so I decided to give it a go once again.
My "comeback" is talking about 10 standouts from the U17 World Cup.
Hope you enjoy!
