Luka Doncic Discussion: Lean Mean Slovenian Extension Machine

Tournament yet or still sitting around the camp fire …. you know?

 

It starts August,27
BTW,Dennis promised that Germany will win a championship

First, Schröder has the European Championships in Finland and Latvia starting on August 27th and then the next NBA season with his new club Sacramento Kings. The point guard has clear expectations of the European Championships. "We will win the title. If I wasn’t convinced, I wouldn’t play the tournament and would rather spend my time in Braunschweig.”

 

Whatever Dennis.

 

Luka scored 17 points

 

luka's d wasn't very strong in some of those highlights, lol. they were exploiting his disinterest in chasing guys around screens.

the difference in talent between the teams is astounding. slovenia's got like, nothing; whereas serbia had at least 4 different guys hit iso crossover threes in those clips. slovenia's guard banked one in on accident.

i was wondering why luka doesn't get off the ball occasionally, and then i see a clip of the pg throwing the ball away trying to get it to him off a screen.

i guess the good news is that once the tournament starts, the wear and tear on luka should be minimal, as they don't look like they'll beat anyone.

 

Bonkers that Slovenia (such a small country) won Eurobasket in 2017 and got 4th place in Olympics in 2020. Dragic/Luka was a combo that made up for the lack of other talent.

Strange how Lithunia has kind of fallen off thee map and the Scandanivian countries haven't started producing more basketball talent
