Assessment of the six Valencia Basket players in the FIBA qualifiers games

FIBA

The six Valencia Basket representatives in the FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifiers games have finished their national‑team duties with mixed fortunes. Álvaro Cárdenas stood out in the game against Portugal, and Mario Saint‑Supery was one of Spain’s best performers in the overtime loss to Greece, but the national team came away with two defeats. Hungary secured an important win over Estonia to stay in the race, with Reuvers as their most prominent player. Mo Gueye made his international debut with Senegal, winning two of their three games; Valtonen’s Finland dominated in Estonia to remain in World Cup‑qualifying positions; and Gonzalo Corbalán’s Argentina took a significant step toward the World Cup by beating Puerto Rico and competing well in Canada.
