Turkey has a good team and if they play like they did at the World Championship, they will be contender for the title. But this time they won't have the support like they had in their country. I don't know Orhun Ene as a coach but he will have to difficult task to replace Bogdan Tanjevic

Turkey was never a contender outside their homeland. Maybe things will change from now on, but Turkey is always vulnerable. Two first matches will be crucial.

they obviously wanted a coach that knew turkish reality and as tanjevic stepped doen there were slim pickings. Turkey has the roster let's see what they can do outside of turkey. i like this generation of turkish players though

He never officially retired, but he is outdated by basketball anyway... Turkey got lots of big bodies... so he is not needed anymore.

Thanks for answering Black Urum. I think, if didn't get injured, he would have helped Turkey a lot eventhough they have a lot of big bodies. Because they don't have bigmen who can shoot the ball like he does

As I said, he is no longer considered part of the Turkish NT pool.

^ This. I don't think Onan will this time act like a ruffian like he did in the past WC, because it was in his home. NOW is the time for the Turkish NT to show what they're made of.

Omer Asik will miss Eurobasket, most likely.

Turkey will mainly lose defence off of him not being there, but I think the space can be made up by that young blonde-haired center of theirs, the most consistent and solid player Turkey has had for some time now.

Asik improved his offensive aggression this year. It was evident in NBA playoffs. If he's out or not able to play at a high level The loss would be severe. Asik really elevated his game the last few weeks. I was looking forward to seeing him play in Eurobasket. His bloody tough defense and mid range jumper was on fire at times.

I don't think this will be possible, because FIBA rejected his "transfer" to Turkish or Bosnian national team.
He is really confused. First he wanted to play for Slovenia, than Bosnia and now he wants to play for Turkey.

i think turkey has a good mixture of experience -hido, onan, tuncer, and young talent -erden, ilyasova, kanter, asik, preldzic well mostly young talent
kanter might make a difference but this is going to be the first time he is playing for NT. I am really wondering how he is gona play but as far as I have seen last week on the street he is a big guy
