I will forvever hear the voice of Jordan Kent screaming “FROM THE NORTHERN LIGHTS” whenever I see a picture of Almar vs. SMU.
This is a great opportunity for Atlason. It looks like Iceland has qualifying games in this round against Italy and Lithuania, both of which will field teams of experienced European pros. Hopefully, he can sharpen his game against good competition and come away with some improvements.
5 points on 2/4 shooting, 1 rebound, and 2 assists in 12 minutes in a 102-83 loss to Italy.
Next game is Sunday against Great Britain.
Iceland beat Great Britain, 88-86.
Almar had 3 points, 1/2 from beyond the arc. By definition, without Almar, Iceland would have lost.
Truly hope this limited time he’s getting is helping him defensively.
