Australian Rob Beveridge, coach of World Select Team at the Nike Hoop Summit, has analized for Eurohopes the european players he has in the squad. Tonight, the big game will be held in Portland.

 

Mael Lebrun ('91, France): Athletic slasher. Prefers to put the ball to the floor when coming off a turn out cut rather than looking to shoot. Good open court player and can run the floor well.  Very quiet and reserved player and needs to be encouraged to shoot the ball. Very coachable kid.
 
Duje Dukan ('91, Croatia): Great shooter of the ball when open. Not a great athlete but at 6'8 has great size for a 2/3 man.  Good defender and has a good understanding of the game. Very solid player and good leader.
 
Dejan Musli ('91, Serbia): Could be a 1st round draft pick.  At 7'1 and 240lbs has good athleticism and is a very good passer of the ball. Solid low post player with good hands and can shoot the open shot from 12-15 feet. Very good rebounder. Defensively relies on his size and needs improvement.
 
Enes Kanter ('92, Turkey): He is a beast. At 6'10 and 255lbs he has a nose for the ball. A great rebounder and will get after everything. Has a good low post game and can attack the rim off the dribble. He will be an NBA player in the future due to his size and rebounding ability. Very good screener and solid defender and likes to play physically in the post.
 
Nicola Mirotic ('91, Montenegro): As the week went on has been one of our best players. Will knock the long 3 point shot and can go of the dribble. At 6'10 he can play the 4 or 3 spot. He is a very good passer of the ball and has a high basketball IQ. I think he could be NBA bound in the future. Very good defender with great hands.
