Donatas UrbonasHOST
Mm.
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
And those teams were Paris, uh, Valencia, Maccabi, Olympiacos.
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
I just, I just don't expect that in the EuroLeague they'll be able to, you know, keep this crazy pace.
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
I just think it'll be somewhere around 91, maybe 92.
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
Uh, but, uh, MilutinoV, Valanciunas, Vezenkov, you know, whenever you have centers, they're just grabbing these rebounds and getting free fantasy points most of the time.
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
To get an assist is much harder.
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
Uh, of course, if DJ plays like he did in Paris, uh, you could expect it, but I'll go under, but I'll go not anywhere, uh, outside of top five.
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
I would say he'll be in the top five, just not top three.
NathanHOST
Obviously, we've done them predictions and if anyone hasn't seen it, look at the colour commentaries page because it's out there and everyone's put something different.
NathanHOST
I had to go for Keenan Evans for MVP because if he finds fitness off the back of his injury, which it looks like he already is, like 19 points in 13 minutes against Paris Basketball, Obviously, I think, like you said, because of so many games, the might stagger his minutes quite a lot during the regular season at SLB.
NathanHOST
But he's doing that in Paris.
NathanHOST
Do you know what? That's pretty spectacular.
5 MINS LATER
JoeHOST
And...
JoeHOST
If this London Invitational tournament was anything to go by, it just shows they can beat any team.
JoeHOST
The fact they beat Paris Basketball, a quality EuroLeague side, it just shows the calorie of players and the heart that's there.
JoeHOST
I think Sabonis takes a step forward in year two.
George AmerikanosHOST
17.
George AmerikanosHOST
Paris.
George AmerikanosHOST
Paris is 17, guys.
George AmerikanosHOST
Still in the league.
George AmerikanosHOST
Everybody left after that amazing year.
Dionysis AravantinosHOST
T.J. Warren? Bubble? Bubble Warren?
George AmerikanosHOST
Yeah.
George AmerikanosHOST
If it's Bubble Warren, then he's going to be a, he's going to be a, what, first team, no? TJ's have success in Paris.
Joe JacksonHOST
So for him this would be his fifth year, um, fifth academic year after he turned 19, so he's good on that front.
Joe JacksonHOST
The concern is he played for Paris Basketball which was a part of the top French league, but more concerning for this scenario is that he was, it was a part of the EuroLeague.
Joe JacksonHOST
Basically the NCAA is going to try to deem if you make, if your league basically makes a certain amount of money or like pays the minimum player a certain amount of money, um, then that's gonna deem you not qualified for the NCAA.
Joe JacksonHOST
EuroLeague is, I mean they're what? The second-best league in the count- or in the world.
HaizeHOST
And Tiago Splitter is what makes this all be possible, right? Because Tiago has experience with pace and defensive aggression.
HaizeHOST
When you look at what he did, in Paris basketball in the EuroLeague playoffs, right? He had a fast-paced offense, but defense became what they were known for.
HaizeHOST
Same thing in Portland.
HaizeHOST
Portland's identity and their defense got better month after month, and then that final month of the season, they were one of the top five defenses in the league when it mattered the most, right? So now he has to combine his approaches.
HaizeHOST
If you do what you did in Paris with the fast-break offense... you add what you did in Portland with defense, I think that that's going to make this roster be an experiment for him.
HaizeHOST
Can he merge those two things? And if he does, this team can be a lot better offensively than people are giving him credit for.
HaizeHOST
Now, I want to be clear here.
Vitor GalvaniGUEST
You would think a lot of teams would do that more.
Vitor GalvaniGUEST
I remember Tomas' teams, uh, with Paris, they were really amazing at this swing-swing and then attack it from there.
Vitor GalvaniGUEST
But it really didn't happen that much where it was a really a problem for us.
Vitor GalvaniGUEST
And if that were to happen, I would tell our guys, "Hey, our biggest thing this past season was we can close outs." So I would just tell them, "Hey, in a close out, really, if it's a shooter, of course, make him put the ball on the floor and then force him to his weak hand," and that's what we did.
26 MINS LATER
Vitor GalvaniGUEST
And by that, we wanted a catch-and-shoot shot or at the rim shot, lob, whatever.
Vitor GalvaniGUEST
So if that was not the case, then we were just moving from side to side.
Vitor GalvaniGUEST
I would joke to my assistants that we ran the slower version of Valencia and Paris offense.
Patrick CarneyHOST
[laughs]
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
Uh, nah.
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
[laughs] Zvezda to finish 18, they would need to finish below Baskonia, below, you know, Virtus, Paris, uh, as well.
Donatas UrbonasHOST
That's a hard task.
Donatas UrbonasHOST
[laughs]
Donatas UrbonasHOST
Okay, so two years ago he was top three.
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
We were close to that, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
But that was when Paris was al- also exciting and in the-
Donatas UrbonasHOST
But they-
GaryGUEST
not? Didn't Tyson Etienne sign a contract somewhere in Europe or something?
Connor LongHOST
Paris, yeah.
GaryGUEST
Paris, yeah.
Connor LongHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Connor LongHOST
So he's out of the picture.
Donatas UrbonasHOST
... at the moment
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
Because we still have Paris.
Donatas UrbonasHOST
Uh-huh.
Gytis BlazeviciusHOST
With, they just brought Frank Ntilikina.
