Semih Erden looking good in FIBA play
Semih Automatic.
Playing against Luis Scola and the Argentina national team, Semih Erden held his own. In fact, he kind of balled out, leading his team in both scoring and rebounding. (FIBA.com)
Argentina claimed a very important scalp ahead of the FIBA World Championship on Monday night.
Sergio Hernandez’s team, holding the number one spot in the FIBA World Rankings, beat Turkey in overtime, 93-89.
For Turkey, Semih Erden scored 15 points and had eight rebounds while Kerem Tunceri and Hedo Turkoglu each had 14.
I like it. I still don’t think Erden has the slightest chance of sniffing even a few minutes of playing time, but I always like to see young Celtics play well. And dropping 15 and 8 on Scola in a close game is mighty impressive.

He’ll play some garbage time minutes during the regular season. But the experience behind all the depth, and getting a chance to see what the NBA playoffs is like this year and mature a bit in the NBA game will do wonders for him.
He has a legitimate chance to be a solid 25 minute guy in a couple years, backing up Perk in 2012.

He’s a project, but he’s got good physical tools.
