It may be over, but Andray Blatche continues to impress fans around the globe. And a few NBA scouts.
The naturalized big man was the second ranked scorer in the recently concluded FIBA World Cup.Blatche was tied with Croatian Bojan Bogdanovic with 21.2 points per game. Spain's Pau Gasol came at fourth with 20.0 points per outing. Rounding out the top 5 was Argentinian Luis Scola with 19.2 points.
But the leading scorer will surprise you. It's not France's Nicolas Batum, who torched Serbia and Lithuania in his last two games. It js also not tournament MVP Kyrie Irving, who waxed hot in the final game. And no, Jimmy Alapag is NOT the leading scorer.
The best scorer award goes to Puerto Rico's diminuitive point guard, Jose Juan Barea. The guy who broke many a Filipino's heart with 30 points. He normed 22.0 points in 5 games.
