France vs Serbia // Olympic Prep Match // 7.12.24

[Limguogolo]

I tried to find the reasons Nadir Hifi was cut and couldn't find any, do you know why?

He just had a very good summer league debut btw

(I'm so pissed)

You said it all. The reasons are the same as usual. Collet takes players from the Comsport galaxy. Blast had made revelations about the strange financing that had affected the Mets, the agents of all these people and Victor's draft. Obviously, Beaubois, Hifi, Hayes do not have the same agents.

At the line.

Collet gone, it won't be better. The federal authorities seem as rotten as the rest. With the Parker generation, we should not expect better when we know that the man received Heurtel at his show and criticized his sidelining following his participation in a league in a genocidal country; the same Parker will participate with Asvel in a tournament organized in another genocidal country, Israel. Supporting two genocidal countries in less than a year and be yourself financed by Russian money (blocked for many in Ukraine) or by the petrodollars of a Gulf country which is not known to be a democracy either (correction, it's not Bein, but Russian money, again, Skweek), we hit rock bottom. For now, seeing Hifi not being involved in this is almost an accomplishment.


At the line.

I saw his game yesterday, yes, he played like usual (Hifi, pronounced Hi!-Fee). But franchises are too focused on size. Maybe the year next if he has a good Euroleague campaign.

At the line.

Again. Oh, yes, I like it. It's like changing positions when you make love. I'll try.

(Besides, speaking of underrated players, Perrin is off to a good start in his first U20 game.)

Also what I'm afraid of, same symptoms than in football, federation full of incompetents protecting their lifelong garanteed job. Depressing country tbh

Like in football France has one of the biggest potential in europe, the most licencees, the most elite ethletes ... and the worst leaders

- Yeah I'll check on Perrin, thx

- "at the line" not necessary but I appreciate the intention ^^

Thanks for giving me a reality check on the French BBall team's coach. I hope Victor can somehow elevate them, but they really do not look good. I hadn't seen Hifi play before that game a few days ago, and I really liked him. I am shocked if he got cut. What team's summer league roster is he on? He hasn't been signed yet to a contract, has he?

He's on the Wolves roster and had a decent game yesterday, very active

No idea about his contract situation but my guess is he's trying to get one

Wrong thread.

[Big Empty]

Its why we need a big center to help againt heavy centers that can bulldoze wemby. Even Sengun could. Wemby is tall enought to play center against teams that dont have a dominiant center but against the teams that do, he’s just too light with no low center of gravity or strength to deal with them. We need that 7’0 ft 280 lb center we can bring off the bench.

Segun didn't, he got blocked 4 times in the same game by Vic who not only was injured but was left on an island by Pop propably (hopefully) as a teaching experiment.

We definitely need another big but mainly for when Wemby is on the bench and occasional matchups

Some of you wait the 1st opportunity to bring back your old narrative, like Chinook and his "throwing lobs is the most difficult technical skill in basketball" theory

Wemby is fine and Jokic even avoided him the whole game last time they met in NBA, he's getting better and learning with each matchups

Interrnational BB is just a bit diff with less space than in NBA and Vic has a very average roster aroung him and an incompetent coach.

The French NT has no established systems or plays, no iden y, it's a total improvisation all the time. The only way they win historically is thx to defensive intensity and individual exploits
