Cedi Osman Goodbye & Good Luck

Turkey's last coach Ataman was better than the current one. He is playing Cedi the full half.

Cedi can beat them by himself(they can't stop his pull-up or penetration), but Balbay takes the ball form him because he can't shoot for shit.

Turkey misses Guler and Aldemir.

9 pts 5 rebounds 2 assists 2 steals 1 turnover in 1st half. Not much ball usage. 4/6 ft 2/8 fg 1/3 3pt.
Trying some Lebron moves as usual .

He needs to have a hell lot more. Good things happen when he has the ball.

Ataman is way more established and experienced than Sarica.

Turkish players playing in Turkey are really weak. Sad to see that Wilbekin plays for the national team. We used to have many capable players who are not at nba level.

Yep. Ataman was excellent... Sarica is an ex-player right?

Turkey could have used Kanter...difference between winning a big tourney like the eurobasket/worldcup and going out early. Turkey's problem is that they have weak big man outside of semih and he lacks range and is strictly a post up player.

Also Balbay and Wilbkein are too small at the 1/2 and Balbay seriously can't shoot it.

And it is happening so far in the second half.

I really like the mechanics of his shot by the way

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

Cedi can't finish at the rim tonight, which is a shame. He has that new fade away layup now and he is coming up short.

I think he needs to extend his arm and use his length more. Fading away like that isn't the best for him IMHO because he just doesn't jump very high.

Sarica was part of the legendary Efes Pilsen team that transformed and popularized basketball in Turkey. Had success as a coach with Pinar Karsiyaka. I am actually surprised by his playing Cedi a lot.

Kanter can't even come to Turkey, he would be arrested. So he is not an option.

The free throw thing is crazy. How can he be so bad at free throws?

Arc is too low in my opinion makes it a hard bounce

I know about Kanter lol. Unfortunate...

Kerem Tunceri and Sinan Guler were a few tiers better than them

For sure. Turkey misses Guler badly.

And what do you think about what I said in regards to hsi layups?

Ataman has a let's say complicated personality. There is a reason why he is not the coach anymore.

I agree with you. I am happy to see him try these things though. He should have been doing these last year but did not get the chance. I think he will find his rhythm(took me half a minute to spell it correctly) and make the correct choices.

Also Turkey does not play pick-n-rolls, which is one area Cedi would be good at. I am looking forward to Cedi-Zizic pick-n-rolls.
