A member of the senior National Team since the age of seventeen, Teemu Rannikko has seen it all during his extensive career playing for his country with the exception of a major tournament of course. Now one of the most experience and talented players on the roster could finally grace the Final Round and if he does then expect the veteran playmaker to be an influential figure. He showed his full range of skills and experience last summer during qualification when he not only created for others but also finished as joint top scorer. He has a reasonable perimeter game and brings huge experience having played in several of the top domestic leagues in Europe. He knows what it takes to win and has won numerous titles in his career and is a former Adriatic League All Star and Korisliiga MVP. He's a born leader both on and off the court and he often does most of the talking during time-outs.
