Slovenia played like shit against Bulgaria. They couldn't hit a 3. Lorbek and Dragic played great in the last minutes and took over the game. For Bulgaria EJ Rowland was beasting. Had also 2 nice dunks, the second one was when he posterized Muric.

Belgium - Bulgaria is a hell of a game. 65-63 with a minute to go

Great game from Van Rossom

This kid Tornike Shengelia from Georgia looks like a star in the making.

Surprised he wasn't drafted this past year, a lot of people thought he would be. It'll be tough to pry him away from Russia since the Russian league places a huge premium on good Russian players and he plays for their best team (CSKA). The one main weakness with Shved is that he's got a really, really frail frame.

He reminds me of Livingston a whole ton, but can't make that comparison since I've only seen one half of a Shved game plus this one so far. Good size, great handles/awareness for his height. Basically, a tall pg.

Entertaining game but Russia holds on. Pachulia impressed me, but Shved is just damn good.

Begic was nothing before he got trained invidually a lot by Zalgiris coach staff, and he runs to Real to sit on the bench after that... No respect for that player.

Ukraine is making a huge comeback. Down by 3 right now.
