Is anyone following EuroBasket 2017?

Slovenia just knocked out the favourites Spain to reach the finals for the first time after a 20 point win in the semis. One undefeated team knocking out the only other undefeated team, which in my opinion is the second best team in the world after USA.

The 18-year old kid Luka Doničić just put on a show, even though the shot percentages were bad, he almost had a triple double while being the go-to player in key situations to either force a foul or try to set up an open shot. He's averaging 15.1 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 3.8 APG and primarily plays the PG position. I try not to get too hyped up, but he could be a really special player if he develops further. I've even seen some people predicting him to go number one in the 2018 NBA draft. What do you guys think? Even though I think its way too early, his play often reminds me of Magic Johnson.

I have watched about 4 of Finland's games, a couple of Slovenia's games, and 2 of Serbia's games. Lauri balled out every game I watched and Luka didn't do much the two or so games I watched, Bogdan played pretty good. I'll catch up on some more of these games.
