I think there are some really exciting names in this squad, but what do you think? What can we achieve in the European Championship with this team? Or who do you think was left out?

Seeing my son Ömer Kutluay’s name pop up honestly makes my day! Of course people will say he’s following in his dad’s footsteps, but if the guy has talent, nobody can argue. I think that was the most exciting part—what else? Now the youth team has an ideal squad to gain experience, let’s see what kind of performance they’ll put out.
I also think Coach Feyyaz made a smart move; he needs to give chances to players who are open to development. I’m pretty confident in the youth team’s performance—getting out of the group stage with this roster isn’t even a stretch. Of course, like everything else, there can be surprises in the tournament, and I hope Turkey becomes a serious contender for the championship!
When our team's EuroBasket candidate roster was announced last year, I got just as hyped, bro. There were some young talents on that list, and then there was, like, the old coach of Turgut Uyar—yeah, you know what I mean? 😅 Seeing Ömer Kutluay make the cut was a killer surprise, and I think they really trust those youngsters. I was actually at the arena for the games back then, and there was this electric vibe—right up our alley.
Now, about your question: I honestly think we can go far with this squad, no doubt! We’ve seen it before—remember how our basketball game in Tokyo felt a bit thin? This time the roster looks deeper. Calcaterra’s experience and leadership are crucial; we can’t do without him. As for who’s missing, I think Berke Demir and Kurtoğlu could have filled those spots—people believe in their potential. But the final call is up to the coaches; they’ve probably got a strategy in mind.
