Play better than each game! Finnish backcourt stars also have the opportunity to launch an attack on the NBA?

In the previous quarter-finals of the Men's Basketball European Championship, Finland defeated Georgia 93-79. After this game, Finland successfully reached the semi-finals of the European Championships, and they will compete with the German team that defeated Slovenia for a place in the finals; while the big dark horse of this game, Georgia team stopped in the semi-finals.

In this game, Finland's starting and backcourt star Miro Little performed quite well. Little played 21 minutes and 45 seconds in the whole game, made 1 of 3 shots and 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, scored 3 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and had 3 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +6. Little did not make more attacks on the offensive end, nor did he get too many points, but he also showed quite good passing and organizational skills, and he was able to sort out the Finnish team's offense in an orderly manner. Not only that, Little's performance on the defensive end is also remarkable. He has also shown quite good personal defensive ability, and he can also create huge defensive pressure on his opponents. Overall, Little can play a good role in both offense and defense, and he can also help the team stabilize the situation on the court. Although he only scored 3 points, he also made his own contribution to the team's victory. Since the start of the European Championship, Little has averaged 19.7 minutes in the first seven games, with averaging 5.4 points, 3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 2.3 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage is 36.7%, three-point shooting percentage is 38.9%, and free throw shooting percentage is 69.2%, with a plus-negative value per game of +6.9. Little's performance during the European Championship can be described as a gradual improvement. His performance in the previous few games was not ideal. He seemed a little at a loss on the court and could not find his place. However, as the schedule deepens, his performance on the court is getting better and better, and he can provide more support to the team on the offensive end. In the last two knockout matches, Little has sent a total of 15 assists, and his self-confidence on the defensive end is also improving, and his performance has also made great progress visible to the naked eye.

Little was born in May 2004 and is 21 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is one of the top 40 four-star high school students in the United States in 2022. Little played for Baylor University, a prestigious NCAA university in the 2023-24 season, but his overall performance was relatively average. Last season, he transferred to the University of Utah and his performance has improved to a certain extent, but there is still a certain gap with everyone's expectations. In the new season, Little will transfer to the University of California, Santa Barbara. Many fans have focused on Finnish forward star Miikka Muurinen, who thinks he will be the next player to enter the NBA. However, you can also pay a little attention to the older Little. If his performance in the new season can be further improved, maybe he will appear in the NBA faster than Murining?
