Listen for the interesting comparison of the Euro hoops experiences of Berke, Aday, Vide and Ilane (in the second half of the interview). Berke's really stands out. He actually played real minutes on the Turkey team that was at the same level as the last Spain trip opponent (which beat our guys by a big margin). Aday played on a high level team, but didn't average a lot of minutes. Vide & Ilane played for "academies" which if I understood correctly are teams with mostly players of the same age. And these are not the FIBA U18, U19 competitions that we've heard about.
After some initial nervous silly talk, there's a lot of content to be had.
As always, Cronin is a great interview. He doesn't pull many punches.
