Tyler Ennis Fiba U19 World Championship

[longtimefan]

I'm sure a group of people from this board could have balanced scoring against Iran. It's flipping Iran. Will any of those kids make any pro league in the world?

Actually, an Iranian player, Kazemi, got picked in the NBA draft last week--by the 76er's, I think. Played for Oregon, and he helped take them to the Sweet 16.

Was Kazemi playing?

They cut your hands off in Iran for that shizz.

 

[edowd26]

naw he's like 24.

 

[Eric15]

not only could i drop a trip dub on Iran. I could end their nuclear program at the same time. Shame i'm not 19.

That sucks - how much longer until you turn 19?

Ya but they weren't playing IN Iran. So no worries there.

heyyyyyooooooooo!

So then my point still stands. Unless somebody can prove me otherwise.

If you're asking if he got any run for Oregon, he was one of the best rebounders in the country last year.

My point (and I bet you got it) was that good hoops players can come from anywhere. What did we know about guys from Germany before Nowitzki, or (to a lesser extent) players from France before Parker?

Bjorn would OWNNN them...The guy is a allstar.

Yea sure they can come from anywhere. But how many good basketball players do you expect to come out of Iran?

You're right. If Ennis only scored 12 points against Iran, he must be awful.

Light work for Tyler today scoring 12pts and 3ast in 21 minutes for a blowout win against Iran 95-57. Canada finally had some balance scoring all around.

Apparently you missed that part. Cause I didn't. Nor did I ever imply Ennis wasn't good.

After 5 games, Ennis is leading in scoring, 22.2 ppg
http://prague2013.fiba.com/pages/en.../9616/sp/ALL/ss/PPG/srid/ALL/top-players.html

He is also up there in the top 10:
Assists, 3.2
Steals, 1.8

Do we still need scoring? Looks to be at least 5 players+ that score 8 ppg+.
Fair, Grant, Roberson, Coleman, Gbinije/Cooney/BJ/Buss and
this guy:

I haven't seen a single game, but I'm guessing that the definition of an assist is much tighter in international ball than what we are accustomed to.

Playing the US in the quarters.
Ennis had been battling the flu in recent games.

ESPNU and ESPN3 will televise the Canada vs USA game live at 2:15 today. Good luck to Tyler and hopefully he's feeling better in the past couple of days.

Sucks that Jerami isn't playing but I'm looking forward to watching Tyler create.

If Trey Lyles' ankle is healthy, why not. I heard he's a game-time decision. RT @_theDESTROYER Does Canada have a shot to beat this US team?

Oh geez. If Lyles isn't going to play and Tyler is still sick then this game will basically be a scrimmage for Team USA.

 

[tee1222]

Game time.
Let's go, Creator.
As long as US wins.

 

[Francis03]

Well unfortunately for whatever reason ESPNU decided not to show the game live and will replay it tonight at 7pm. It's streaming live on ESPN3.
