EuroBasket 2017: Turkey vs. Russia open thread

EuroBasket 2017 kicks off its second day today and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ top two prospects are both in action.

Then, at 2 p.m, Cedi Osman and the Turkish National team takes on Russia. Due to Enes Kanter’s issues with government, the Turks aren’t at their best and Osman is likely to play a bit out of position at times. Against Russia, he’ll also square off against the likes of ex-Cavalier Timofey Mozgov and Alexey Shved. Osman is likely to defend Shved for most of Friday’s game.
