With Dario Saric and Croatia scheduled to begin the group phase portion of the 2016 Olympic men's basketball tournament against Sergio Rodriguez and Spain on Sunday, Sixers.com's Charlie Widdoes and Brian Seltzer felt it would be worthwhile to to reach out to Emmet Ryan, a respected European basketball reporter who runs the website ballineurope.com.

During his August 5th appearance on The BroadCast, Ryan provides plenty of insight on Saric and Rodriguez, both of whom will be joining the Sixers this season. Some of the interview topics include:

*The progress that Saric experienced this past year.

*The evolution of Rodriguez's game since his first stint in the NBA.

*The lure of the NBA to European players.
