Keith Smith: Neemias Queta helped lead Portugal to a big win over Spain today: 16 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals. Aday Mara was strong for Spain with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks. Hugo Gonzalez had a rough game with just 3 points on 1-for-4 shooting (all from three).

5 will be the position to watch early this season. Looking forward to Q-MR production on both ends with Q picking up his offense. Wonder if his points were all at the rim.

These two were. Smoked Mara.

Thanks.  Handles look pretty good against lesser competition.  Also looks a little slimmer; maybe quicker.  What do we have ultimately in Queta?  I don?t think we know.

What Queta lacks is shooting touch and bigs usually don't develop shooting touch at age 27.  But Queta surprised me last season with how much he developed so maybe he will surprise again.

I think Queta could develop a midrange shot, but it does not seem like that is what the team wants from him. Q is a career 71% from the FT line. He has a good shooting form.

Queta just needs something reliable to keep defenses honest. If he could develop to say Jarrett Allen level, that would be a big plus.  I see that as possible but it is a lot of development to expect at this point.

Thought Hugo would be putting up some good numbers in these games. Sounds like he has been struggling.

Keith Smith: Aday Mara had 15 points, 13 rebounds and 1 block as Spain lost to Greece today. Sergia De Larrea had 9 points. Baba Miller had 4 points and 5 rebounds. Hugo Gonzalez had 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block.
