Urban Klavzar

Walter has the best stroke on shooting that I have seen in a long time. Think Dupay, Humphrey, Andrew Moten, Lil Erv, all Of these could shoot the eyeballs out but Walter is bigger, and has proven last year, especially the SEC tournament, that he is money. We beat some tough teams last year and gave everyone a run for their money. One of the best guard tandems in Gator history. I expect another year of him setting records and winning a lot of games. Jason Williams didn’t get enough time to be in my thinking, but I loved his game and flair. Walter is poetry in motion shooting a basketball, perfect form. I feel before he leaves us, everyone will know it nation-wide and I think he will forever be remembered as being one of if not the greatest shooting guard ever in an Gator uniform.

 

I believe that Eric wrote that the European leagues don’t assign assists as freely as the US does so not to be too concerned about that stat.

 

Clayton is "pretty good?" Wha?

 

Agree. Competition is good for any team. Best one in practice gets more minutes. I like fearless little guys around the rim. That's why I liked Iverson's game. Not saying he will play like Iverson was, but I like the kid's tenacity.

 

Most impressive thing in that video clip was the drop step two-handed dunk. I didn't think he had that in him. The other skills and abilities, I expected. It's going to be almost impossible to put him in the starting lineup over Clayton or Martin. Maaaybe Richard, but that is also a stretch. Richard is a glue guy. I think Urban takes over the starting job next year, but not this year, while having a big role off the bench in 2024-2025. I think this becomes a fight for minutes between Urban and Aberdeen.

 

Maaan... people are reckless with the Clayton disrespect here. He had a couple of tough stretches in 2-3 games last year and some of us forget how much of a baller and star this dude is on the basketball court. I will accept no Walter Clayton Jr. slander!

 

Exciting times, looking forward to the upcoming season..

 

I'm fine with a big role off the bench, either way he looks like he could be an impact player for us this year. We might be even deeper across the board than we were last year, and that's saying a lot. I can't wait to see how much Condon and Haugh have improved as well. I think Condo is going to be a beast on both ends of the floor

 

Since you brought up practice and Iverson in the same post...

 

Pros dont care about practice. You're talking about practice man! Lol. I guess some of these guys might think the same way as Iverson since they are semi pro now.

 

Tough make

 

Indeed. I don’t love the idea of a final play looking like that without any passing or off ball movement, but I love the idea of a guy who can hit such a shot regardless.

 

I would love to see the box score of this game.

Slovenia vs Lithuania - Group Phase - FIBA U20 EuroBasket 2024 | FIBA.basketball

Direct link. Urban was the leading scorer.

 

Almost. He and Kublickas both had 12 points. Someone else on Slovenia had 14 points.

 

I think you're looking at the EFF number, he was most efficient.. 2nd leading scorer and leading rebounder

 

The European U20 site has its top 10 players from the first phase. Top of the list: Urban.

They also have a vote for which team will win from before the tournament. Lithuania with 8%, Slovenia 4%. Spain top vote getter with 25%, Israel next with 12%.

Slovenia currently crushing North Macedonia. Lithuania plays Turkey later today.

 

I am not sure that list is in order of 1-10. Nevertheless, Klavzar is playing well.
