All the other aspects are good, but the former Mavericks first-round pick feels cold in the European Championship final?

In the previous men's basketball European Championship final, the German team narrowly defeated Turkey 88-83 and won the European Championship. The Turkish team, which performed well in this European Championship, was somewhat regrettably ranked second.

In this game, the Turkish naturalized player Shane Larkin's performance was not ideal. Larkin played 38 minutes and 07 seconds in the game, made 5 of 16 shots, 1 of 7 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 13 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He also had 4 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -1. Larkin also got a lot of playing time and performance opportunities on the offensive end, but his outside shooting feel was simply a mess and he did not show his shooting ability at all. Larkin has indeed shown quite good passing ability and organizational ability. His performance on the defensive end is worthy of recognition, but overall, his performance is not particularly outstanding. He should have provided more help and support to the team on the offensive end. He should have been able to play a greater value.

During this European Championship, Larkin played a total of 9 games, averaging 32 minutes per game, with an average of 11.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 1.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 43%, three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 92%, with a plus-negative value per game of +13.6. Larkin's overall performance during the European Championships was still not very stable. He showed a certain scoring ability, but his offensive efficiency could not always be maintained at a high level. Larkin's performance on the defensive end is not particularly outstanding. He has good personal defensive abilities, but his disadvantages in figure are also quite obvious. He can show certain passing ability and organizational ability, but his role in this area is not that outstanding. Larkin's performance is certainly not bad, but as a naturalized player, he should have performed at a higher level.

Larkin was born in October 1992. He is 32 years old, 180cm tall and weighs 79kg. He is the backcourt player selected by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2013 NBA Draft. Although Larkin's draft pick is not low, his performance in the NBA is very disappointing, whether it is the Mavericks who selected him or later in the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics. Larkin's overall performance in the NBA are not ideal, and he has not shown the level of a first-round pick at all. He has no way to stay in the NBA for a long time. In the European arena, Larkin gradually gained a foothold and he is also the backcourt core of Anadolu Efes, a giant Turkish league team. Unfortunately, Larkin's performance in the European Championship final was still slightly worse, and he still couldn't help the team win the championship.
