Nice to see them hanging out.
I can't wait to see them in SL.
So Bertrans and Hanga are hanging out, but who's this Xavi guy they are with?

Xavi strength coach for the team he currently plays for: Bàsquet Manresa
Davis needs to put on some meat....he would get thrown around in the paint
I know he's probably not ready but I would rather take my chances with him instead of another dreaded season with Bonner and Blair. smh
Given that Bertrans is still a skinny little bugger, might want to bring our own... Bertrans needs some beef!
He plays in the same tournament as Adam Hanga.
Here is the link to follow his stats throughout the tournament:

Nice to see Bertans doing fine. Aside of Lorbek, he is the most interesting player among players whose Spurs own NBA rights.
Agree that is good to see Bertans progress as a player but disagree that he is most interesting player for the spurs. In my opinion Hanga is the most interesting since he should be able to come over as early as next season. Love to see both doing well though.
From what I've seen of him, I'm not sold on Hanga. He is a fine player but nothing special. Bertans is far from having an NAB level but the big difference is that he is 19 years old while Hanga is 23 years old.
If your take of the word "special" implies a manu-esqe type player then yes I agree with you, Hanga is not that type of player. But Hanga definatly has a solid NBA type game who can contribute on both sides of the court. About the the only thing Bertans has on his side is his age. Get back to me in about 3 yrs and then well see if he will ever play in the NBA.
He looks like a potential Matt Bonner replacement at Pf with his length and shooting range...
vs Netherlands, he had: 16 pts, 7 boards, 3/6 from 3; I guess the only bad mark is his FT shooting, 3-6.
Bertans production slowed down in the next 2 games: 0 and 5 pts
The 2013 Eurobasket qualifying tournament is finished and Latvia is qualified. Bertans averaged 8.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 17.6 mpg. Not bad for a 19 years old player. Hopefully, he will get more minutes this year than last year with Belgrade.
news on this guy ? I heard he's playing good for the partizan...

Bertans is just in a awesome situation to develop as a player.
He is getting playing time with a team that plays high level compe ions (Euroleague and Adriatic league), that is a great basketball school and that is working seriously with him since he has signed a long term contract with them.
In 2 or 3 years, Bertans might turn into something great. The most important about him is how young he is. Players of his age, who doesn't early enter in the draft, will be eligible to be drafted in 2014 or 2015.
Have you had a chance to see him play?
I just realized that he turned 20 on Monday (my birthday also although in a very different year) I keep forgetting how young he really is...
George Hill for Leanord and Bertans (of course Lorbek also)
Already a good trade- who knows might be great someday
Nope, I haven't seen him play this year.
Would the Spurs use this kid at the 3 or 4? I am hoping that he bulks up a bit and can be used at the 4.
for sure he's not a 4 i tell you that..
A recent scouting report about Bertans:
http://www.europeanprospects.com/a-f...league-201213/
Bertans took 76 shoots this in Euroleague and Adriatic league combined. 47 of these 76 shots were 3 pointers. He also averaged 2.1 rebounds in 19 mpg. These numbers confirmed him being mono-dimensional, kind of an athletic version of Steve Novak.Finally, Davis Bertans is another scoring option for Partizan coming from the bench. The Latvian forward is mainly used as a shooting Power forward and this with great success so far. Bertans hit 9/17 three pointers so far in the Euroleague to come at a respectable 7.8ppg. However, this is the main part of his production so far as he is not very present in rebounding or on the drive. His shot though is very quickly executed. His long arms give him a great release point and his technique allows him to arm without needing to control the ball in front of his body first. After a high catch, he can shoot immediately which gives his a great advantage in some situations. The Latvian forward needs to become more versatile in his production in order to be a factor outside of his shooting. He is capable of doing so like he has shown in the different youth selections but it is now the moment to do the next step on the professional level in a favorable environment like Partizan Belgrade.
A little footage of Bertans recently. Moving well without the ball and liking his aggresivness.
