Alex Mambrou wants to “sign” Dylan Osetkowski to Germany… given FIBA ​​sanctions and Real Madrid’s interest in being “ready” | Relief

There is only one month left until the start of FIBA’s November windows, in which different teams play, in the European case, qualification for EuroBasket 2025. And the biggest task for a significant part of them is to make up for lost losses of both Euroleague players – unlike in February, when continental competition does not stop – and the NBA. And here, as German coach Alex Mumbru admitted in an interview with Relevo: Germany is one of the countries that faces the greatest difficulties in preparing its conscription… While the Spanish coach has been traveling the country (and looking abroad) for weeks to see national players he could call up, there is one that stands out: Dylan Osetkowski. So much so that was included in the German prelist.

The reality is that Unicaja’s power forward is a Californian, but Has a German passport on her mother’s side.which gives him the right to participate, although in the end the final decision rests with him. That is, Osetkovsky himself will decide whether he wants to finally answer the call of Germany, which has not yet compiled its final list.

Although, as expected SOUTHERN DIARY and you were also able to recognize Relevo, Unicaja has already received a list from the German Basketball Federation informing the boxing club that Osetkowski is in pre-qualification. Indeed, this is not strange, given the level he shows at the beginning of the season.

Possible FIBA ​​sanctions, after a positive result for marijuana in the control, It’s still beating. There is now a difference at the club regarding the notice that it will run exactly until November, although the dates have been pushed back by several months, which led to his signing at Barca being cut short in the summer and the interest of Real Madrid currently remained in support (although let’s not forget about this, even though they now indicate other priorities, such as including a combination of “1” and “2”). But Osetkowski didn’t seem to be affected, at least as far as his performance was concerned.

The power forward started the season by winning the Intercontinental Tournament MVP and maintaining a high level making him Unicaja’s only internal player who has not yet been rotated. That is, although Ibon Navarro had to leave someone on the sidelines in every game, based on the lineup he had this year (with seven inside players), Osetkowski always avoided being rejected. And day after day he remains one of the standards of the Malaga team.

For all these reasons, Germany’s interest is not surprising. Moreover, if we take into account that Mumbru will not be able to count on such internal players as Johannes Voigtmann, Oscar da Silva, Moritz Wagner.Isaac Bonga…among others, in addition to not being able to call Franz Wagner, Dennis Schroeder or Maodo Lo, to name a few. “We have a problem – to become a team that will be left without the Euroleague and the NBA, and we I believe that we are the team with the most players between the Euroleague and the NBA. I think there are 23 of them.

This speaks very well for German basketball, but at the same time Windows will be more difficult,” Mumbru told Relevo on the matter.

Thus, We will have to wait to see whether the Californian German will finally accept the German federation’s offer or not.and whether, if he does so, the sanctions resolution will come out or not, and he may or may not debut on Mumbru’s orders.
