The match served as a final rehearsal, and the coach and players can be satisfied with what they saw, although they are aware that certain aspects of the game still require refinement.

After a long time, John Roberson also played for the BiH team, and he will be one of the key players for our selection at the European Championship.

- I think we looked very good. I only joined the team two or three days ago, but you can already see that we are playing tough, fast, and with a lot of energy. I am convinced that we will be competitive in the tournament - said Roberson.

Despite the positive impressions, Roberson also realistically assessed the shortcomings in the game.

- Our biggest problem is the number of turnovers. In some situations, we are careless, we miss easy passes. If we fix that, we will be much more stable - emphasizes Roberson.

He highlights the importance of better free throw shooting.

- We play physically, we often get to the free-throw line, and we need to know how to use that - he underlines.

He could not hide his emotions about returning to the BiH national team.

- I feel ready and I am very happy to be here again. I look forward to playing at Eurobasket and giving my best for this team - concluded the Dragons' point guard.
