Croatia Basketball Federation president: World Cup qualifiers like these have no sense
Vrankovic: I am very proud of our 6 NBA players, but thanks to FIBA they don't mean anything to us in these WC Qualifiers since they weren't able to join us due to weird timing of the windows
Croatian Basketball Federation President, Stojko Vrankovic, is not happy with the new FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualifiers.
Croatia lost the first three games of qualifiers and won the last one against Netherlands keeping their chance to qualify to the second round alive.
Croatian can’t count on six NBA players plus some that are performing in EuroLeague.
