Hello guys,
another turkish Cedi-fan here (but born and living in Germany). Sorry for my english, it`s not my native language. I`m a huge Cedi follower since his times at Anadolu Efes and the younger national teams. He is really loved all over the country, especially the young girls are admiring him a lot
But the main reason to follow the Cavs was Lebron, my favourite basketball player ever. I started watching basketball because of him an it wasn`t a bad decision. Now I also have to support the Lakers a little bit
Back to Cedi:
As I mentioned, I love him too, but you guys need to calm down a little bit. There are too much expectations. Yes he is improving, yes he is a hard working guy, yes he will get some minutes but I don`t see anything like 16-5-5 or whatever right now.
I don`t know whether you like him or not but something like what his former teammate Dario Saric did would be fantastic:
Dario Saric 17-18 regular season:
CEDI I expect
29,4 MPG - same (hope Lue trusts him)
14,6 PPG -
11 PPG (3-pt shooting much improved, shoots with better release and with confindence, but needs train on his FT and finishing at the rim)
6,5 RPG -
4,5 RPG (he is really good at rebounding, follows the ball to immediately start the offense, without some monsters like Love it would be a little higher)
2,4 APG -
2,5 APG (his handling is better and passing is really good but how many touches for creating will he get? an he likes to play the right way and not only chasing assists like some others)
0,3 SPG -
1 SPG
0,7 BPG -
0,3 BPG
Cedi hasn`t any skills which are really out of the world but he will be a fantastic glue guy doing a lot of things, playing the right way and with high motor.
Wish you guys all the best.
