Impressed that our top 3 scorers are our first year guys.

Nared with 0 points? That's definitely surprising... Let's hope that was a fluke game.

While the number of turnovers is a concern we must remember they are working with a 24 second shot clock. With all the new team members and little time to set up plays it's not surprising, plus I imagine they faced a somewhat different style of play than what we usually see in the United States. Let's see where they are by the end of the tour.

Yeah, and I'm sure many of the european teams they face will play risky, pressure defense a lot more. In the NBA, foreigners are not typically great defenders, but they are clever and have knack for playing the passing lanes and getting steals.
