It’s been a good week for the Transatlantic Tracker. Arsalan Kazemi’s visa issues were cleared up, allowing him to return to Chongqing Fly Dragon of the Chinese Basketball League, Jordan McRae had another strong outing for Melbourne United, and Dario Saric had his best game yet with Anadolu Efes.

Let’s get right to it.

After missing two weeks of CBA action due to reported visa issues, Iranian forward Arsalan Kazemi returned to China to rejoin Chongqing Fly Dragon. In his first game back, he showed some rust, going 2-for-8 from the floor, but went 11-of-12 from the free-throw ling to finish with 15 points in the team’s first win in five games. He also pulled down nine rebounds, dished out five assists, and notched two steals. On Wednesday, he put together another well-rounded game, notching 10 points (4/9 FG), 15 rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 43 minutes.

Through four games with Chongqing, he’s averaging 13.8 points (48.3 FG%), 14.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.5 steals in 40.4 minutes per game.

Another game, another big offensive outing for Jordan McRae. After briefly surrendering his lead in the NBL scoring race to Adelaide 36ers big man Brock Motum, the 6’6” guard reclaimed it with his fourth consecutive game with 20+ points. Against the Perth Wildcats on Sunday, he scored 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting to go along with three rebounds and three assists.

“I’m playing me,” a confident McRae told Australian reporters after the win over Perth. “I’ve been a scorer in college, I’ve been a scorer in (NBA) summer league. If people see it they see it, if they don’t they don’t.”

McRae and United take on Motum and the 36ers on Thursday.

On Saturday, Dario Saric had his best game as a member of Andadolu Efes. In a season-high 31 minutes of action he scored 23 points on 7-of-15 shooting (8/8 FT), grabbed nine rebounds, and notched two assists. The performance came in a 69-67 win over Aykon TED Kolejliler Ankara and allowed Efes to improve to 5-2 on the season, good for third out of 16 teams in the Turkish Basketball League.

Since being promoted to Efes’ starting lineup six games ago, Saric is averaging 13.7 points (50.0 FG%), 6.8 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 24.7 minutes per game. Per 36 minutes, he’s averaging 20.0 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 2.5 assists as a starter.

We’ve talked a lot about Dario Saric’s play on the court, but check out the video below to get a sense of his personality off if it:

Of the five international players whose rights are held by the Sixers, 20-year-old Vasilije Micic has played the smallest role with his team. In his first 10 outings with Bayern Munich, the 2014 second-round pick (52nd overall) averaged 15.9 minutes per game, but over his last four games he saw that number rise to 20.8. Over that stretch, Micic is averaging 8.5 points (48.0 FG%), 4.8 assists, and 2.5 rebounds.

In the four games this season in which the 6’5” point guard has logged 20 or more minutes, he’s averaged 14.1 points (46.2 FG%), 7.8 assists, and 5.9 rebounds per 36 minutes.

Since our last update, Furkan Aldemir has appeared in two games, logging season-lows in minutes in both outings (14 and 16 minutes). He is not expected to suit up for Galatasaray when they take on Valencia Basket on Friday.
