Sorry for Cedi and Turkey.
Actually Cedi played very well today.
Ersan Ilyasova 0/9 FG today.

Also, Turkey really misses Guler, Erden has regressed heavily, Aldemir is missed too.. even Sipahi.
Wilbekin doesn't play D and he controls the ball wayyyy too much. He doesn't fit Turkeys style. Balbay can't shoot and it's a big problem.
Don't understand why the Cavs tried to transform Cedi to a player that he wasn't; why not build on his strengths? Went from a multidimensional player to mostly a scorer. Trying to mold him into a 4 or a SF was a big, big mistake. He is way more unique as a tall SG and even secondary ball handler as a PG.
He can still be very good in the NBA, but it's just not the same player I used to love. He turned from a Ginobili type to a Bogdan Bogdanovic wannabe. He was more unique when he had that speed in the open court, quick feet and hands, active D and driving ability.
I hope we can still salvage his quickness.. he is just too sluggish nowadays. Still like him a lot, but not as much as a player...I love the Varejao, Ginobili types rather than the iso scorers.
This may seem harsh, but it's not. I still have high hopes for him in the NBA and in the upcoming season.

no, really, are you serious ?
Isn't this an effect of steroids? You just think it is bulk?
I was surprised last year. Cedi was mostly going 100% the time he was in in 17-18. Then last year, he didn't appear to have that stamina. He got winded. Maybe it was just the increase in minutes, but I was shocked because he sort of hit the rookie wall when Collin absolutely just got better and better and did not appear to get exhausted by years end.
