So I'm looking at the leaders for scoring in the EuroBasket...a lot of big names, many known in the U.S. from the NBA...the youngest person to appear in the top 40 scorers? Cedi...by nearly 2 years...next closest to him in age is Schroder from the Hawks.
So far, through 3 games, vs Italy, Spain, and Germany (all loaded with multiple NBA players): 12.7 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 1 APG, 1 SPG, 50% from the floor, 40% from 3, 60% from the line...and he has yet to turn the ball over once in 89 minutes of play. This is coming from one of the youngest guys in this tournament. Excited to follow this guy, hope we hold onto him.
And here were his highlights vs Italy with some excited foreign commentary
Edit: Might as well add this as well

Agree. I mean, the only real weakness I see is he needs to refine his shot a little. It's not like he can't shoot, but mechanics wise he might need to shorten it up a bit.
This guy's strength is defense. He's pretty athletic, mobile, the guy hustles his ass off.
I'd be very disappointed if we don't keep him. The time he comes over, we're going to need someone else like him to give this team some fresh legs.
Shame on us if we don't keep him. I really think he can play in this league.
