When the first hour of truth arrives, it's time to decide. If during the season Pablo Laso has been able to cope with the issue of his three players with an extra-community passport -in Euroleague they can be at the same time-, 'thanks' to injuries and rotations, for the Copa del Rey that Real Madrid starts this Thursday (9:30 p.m.) against RetaBet Bilbao, the technician must leave out Trey Thompkis, Gabriel Deck or Jordan Mickey.

Camino de Málaga, where the whites arrive this afternoon, that is the big question before the debut. Laso has up the same Thursday at 2:00 p.m. To make the decision. And, unlike other editions, you can change the discarded in each match of the tournament.

“Randolph has a small overhead, Rudy the adductors… Small things, but they all travel, all are available, “the coach announced before leaving. That is, the 17 staff members are healthy and ready. There have been so many moments when Laso has been able to boast something So.

The Argentine Deck is the player who has less ballots to stay out. In its favor, its versatility, able to play forward or forward. And his status as an almost unique player (three high) in the squad. It also guarantees its performance, key in the course of the year thanks to its great step forward.

Among the Americans Thompkins and Mickey will be the decision. Laso must assess the physical state of Anthony Randolph, who can play in favor of Trey, both power forward with a lot of offensive ability and clear threat from the perimeter. Jordan Mickey has been the replacement of Walter Tavares in the position of five. The poor performance of Salah Mejri, which barely counts, has made him an almost indispensable piece, due to his physique and his ability to score near the hoop. For the duel against RetaBet Bilbao, with the powerful inner couple formed by Ondrej Balvin and Ben Lammers, it seems necessary. Much more in that possible semifinal against Barça.
