Beyond a solid stat line the big man just looks healthy for the first time in a long time.
New Orleans Pelicans center Omer Asik burst out in Manila after two quiet games for the Turkish National Team in Olympic Qualifying for 19 points and 5 rebounds in 27 minutes. Unfortunately it was not enough as Turkey fell to a far superior French side 75-63. France responded well after falling into a 13-3 hole early on and did not trail after seizing the lead.
For the Pelicans, it was good to see Asik perform well against a legitimate front line of NBA players.
