If we can get 8 points from him reliably every game out, I'd be okay with that.

I'm hoping he can score more in the 12ppg range. Getting at least 90% of DW's scoring. Because I don't think he's going to get 90% of his assists. Might get more rebounds though, I'm not sure.

I'm under the assumption that we're more apt to run our offense through Reink than what NED is running.

Well NED needs to figure it the F out.

1-0

[hhcmatt]

They're 1-1 and playing Croatia right now in a game they're not favored to win.

If they lose, they're out and Mast would be heading back to Nebraska shortly after.

So glad his red cross military saving the children and pride for his country tour is over.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'M JOKING EVERY CHILL OUT

Netherlands loses and Mast could potentially be demonstrating his Rubik's Cube skills on the first day of school on Monday.

Probably had to take his shoes off going through security.

S/O @rienkmast for a strong showing representing @basketballnederland at this year’s FIBA Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament in Turkey.

So . . . What’s the level of competition he’s been playing against?  Is it B1G quality?  Or is it substantially better or worse?

In the photo I had posted of their Croatia game, that's long-time NBA player Dario Šarić guarding Reink Mast.

Depends on the team/country honestly.  You kind of get a mixed bag on most teams.  Maybe 1-2 guys in the NBA OR that had a short stint in the NBA.  A few others that maybe played or are playing college ball in the states.

 

of course teams like the US, France, etc will have more of the NBA and College ball guys than other teams.

[hhcmatt]

The teams in this tournament were/are trying to qualify for a shot to make the Olympics. A few of the countries have multiple NBA players. Everyone else are either European pros or college players. Netherlands had 4 college guys.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Most of the World Cup teams are going to be far better than a Big 10 team. Tominaga was dropping 20 in back to back games against current nba players…
