Why is Sasha Vujacic in the NBA?

[CeoTypeDoe619]

This isn't a hate thread at all. He's not even a elite college player. On a daily basis i see guy at the gym who are WAY better then this guy. He is probably te worst player in the NBA if not top 3. Even the other horrible players at least have some form of athleticism that is rare. The guy cant shoot,dribble, play defense, slow, weak and the list goes on.
Is he related to Jerry Buss?

[dr8ked]

he plays intimidating defense :oldlol:

Guys at the gym huh, you ever see those same guys playing in the NBA?

It would be better just to state that this is a hate thread, because if it's not it's a pretty good indicator of you not knowing what you're talking about.

so we have someone to laugh at.

[04mzwach]

He has had injury problems his entire career. He's not that bad. I think that's why he chucks so much. Basically, he's in the NBA to open up the middle and play dirty defense.

If he was as bad as you think he is there would be no way he'd be getting minutes on the lakers especially after being put in the "doghouse". This guy plays good D on and off the ball, has a decent mid range J and when he's clicking it extends out to the 3. Sure he ain't no superstar but he's shown he can hold his own out there.

Btw can your gym buddies drop 24 on the 2008 celtics?

Great? I never used the word great... He's a pretty good player, does some things well and plays hard. You never question Sasha's effort.

And those guys who you think are WAY better than him only LOOK better because , yeah you should guess this, they're playing against other guys from the gym.

And any time you feel you should state that NBA players doesn't deserve to be in the league, just don't. They've worked incredibly hard for it their entire lives. Way harder than those guys you drool over playing shirts vs. skins at the gym...

The worst players in the NBA you don't even know the name of without looking them up and there's one reason for this: They sit at the end of the bench and never get playing time.

I never claimed anyone was a superstar because of one night.
Not anybody can do anything on one given night, takes talent to do that sh!t and hence why he's in the NBA.
Sasha does have a jumper, If phil thought he was chucking up shots he can't make then trust me he would be pulled. He's defense isn't anything another player can't do but it sure is something that not many other players will do.
Worst player? no way look down the bench for one example of a worse player and i reckon theres more examples on every team in the NBA.

AJ2K8 didn't call him a superstar. In fact, he said that Sasha wasn't a superstar but could hold his own out there.

And seriously, how ignorant could you be by saying that Sasha has no jumper. It's not like RayRay's, but it's still a jump shot and a decent one.

Sasha isnt better than some players such as Stephon Marbury, Josh Childress, Bonzi Wells, and plenty other players considered as all stars in europe, asia or other leagues. I Would even go as far as saying the 18 year old Rubio is better.

To play in the NBA you have to have your head on right. Some of those players don't.

And being an all star Europe is way different than being one in the CBA or other Asian leagues. The overall talent level is pretty weak in Asia compared to Europe and especially compared the NBA.

It's ok if you guys don't like Sasha, but this "he's not good enough to play in the NBA" is just stupid. The guy is getting minutes and has gotten minutes in the NBA by arguably the GOAT coach.
If you think you know more about player talent levels than Phil you must be smoking some good shit.

Stephon Marbury, Bonzi Wells and Josh Childress are all by far better than Vujacic and not only because they are killing it overseas. If they would come back to the NBA they would all be more productive. Any GM would probably pick those 3 guys over Sasha.

[kentatm]

Childress yeah. No GM would pick the other 2 over Sasha if given the chance.

Childress simply left for money.

Bonzi and Starbury were essentially banished.

Plus, the Chinese league is pathetic. Complete scrubs look like badasses there.

[PistonsFan#21]

Childress yeah. No GM would pick the other 2 over Sasha if given the chance.

You serious? Bonzi Wells is a better scorer, rebounder and defender than Sasha. Im pretty sure any GM would pick him over a guy that can only make a few shots on some nights and be completly useless on others.

Bonzi for his career in NBA: 12.1pts, 2.1ast, 4.6rebs, 1.3stls
Sasha in NBA: 4.9pts, 1.2ast, 1.7rebs, 0.6stls

The only reason why some GM would hesitate to pick Marbury over Sasha is because of his "attitude problems" but other than that no one would deny Marbury is a better player and way more talented.

Bonzi Wells in his last year in the NBA averaged better numbers than Sasha ever had in his 6 year NBA career. If Lakers were offered the chance to pick between Sasha and Bonzi for the same price they would obviously pick Bonzi.

Sasha this year is averaging 2.5pts, 1.1rebs and 0.6ast per game. Dont act like Bonzi or Marbury couldnt be more productive than that

[kentatm]

dude got himself banished for being a moron. Nobody wants him.

[PistonsFan#21]

then why is Bonzi no longer in the NBA?


dude got himself banished for being a moron. Nobody wants him.

Bonzi Wells was stupid and refused to play for the NBA's minimum salary and thats why he didnt receive any offers. That doesnt mean Vujacic is a better player. 3 years ago he received a 3 year for 36 millions dollars contract. Would someone ever offer anything close to that to Sasha Vujacic?

What can Vujacic do better than Wells other than shoot 3s?

[ZenMaster]

The only reason why some GM would hesitate to pick Marbury over Sasha is because of his "attitude problems" but other than that no one would deny Marbury is a better player and way more talented.

Sasha is a pretty good defender though. And that's not in the "if he put his mind to it" type of good defender which is so popular here on ISH. He plays defense every possession.

And i don't care about Bonzi Wells career stats. What matter is what could he do now, this day if he was in the NBA. If he was good enough to still play in the NBA he probably would.

The last time i saw Marbury in the NBA he was either sitting in street clothes for NY, or playing for the Celtics not wanting to shoot the ball. His last stint wasn't pretty IMO.

Not being strong enough mentally is a part of not being good enough to play in the NBA, and it's part of being a good player, period.

[Jakeh008]

He is not a good defensive player at all...
He lacks quickness and athleticism...
He Crys at every call (most annoying thing about him by far!)...
He shoots 90% of the time he gets the ball...
His game consists of only shooting and he is a career 39% shooter...

Not being strong enough mentally? :wtf: Everyone knows the only reason Marbury didnt have any playing time with NY is because he had problems with D'Antoni and not because he was unable to play. He was averaging 14pts and 4.7ast in the games that he played in 07-08 and he was still getting better numbers with the Celtics last year than Sasha does now even though he was getting back in shape after not playing for a long time.

Bonzi Wells now could still be a better player than Vujacic. Its not hard to get more than 2.5pts and a rebound per game. He just prefers to be a legend in the CBA over being a scrub at the lowest salary in the NBA like Sasha.

Like i asked before what can Sasha do better than those 2 guys other than shoot 3s?

I think he plays pretty good defense, he works hard and it makes up for a lot.

Every player in the NBA more or less crys at every call, Sasha just looks more frustrated. What annoys you have nothing to do with his skill.

Shoots 90% of the time he get's the ball, what? He's never averaged more than 6.7 shots per game, which was in 17.8 mins. For his career he's taken 4.2 shots per game in 14.5 mins. He must not have gotten the ball a lot on offense then if he's so prone to shooting.

The knock on Phil Jackson has always been that he doesn't like to play young players, yet Sasha's always gotten minutes from him since being a rookie.

Why do you think that is?

What, Phil can't determine NBA talent from non NBA talent no more?

If Sasha shouldn't be in the league what's he doing getting minutes for the GOAT coach, winning championships as a rotation player?

What's Phil been doing in the league these last years then? Maybe there are also better coaches at the local gym.

he has HORRIBLE D
yes every player crys about calls but sasha takes it to a new level. Ive seen him cry and calls that went his way...
maybe 90% is a lil high but if you watch him play you know he will shoot it most of the time... even the announcers make fun of him for that...

Yeah i watch probably 80% of Laker games.

I think his D is alright, like i said he works hard on that end of the floor and it makes up for a lot. It's also annoying to opposing players and teams, probably more of which you give it credit for.

Him crying about calls and if it annoys you or not, still has nothing to do with his talent level. I don't like to look at it either, but it's the mentality of players in the league to ***** about every little thing.

And yeah he's a catch and shoot player off penetration. And to be fair a lot of his shots are 3's which he's been pretty good at shooting 37% for his career. It's his role on the offense, always has been.

You couldn't answer the questions about Phil playing him except for blackmail. That's just throwing logic out the window.

[ZenMaster]

This guy thinks just because your in the NBA your a basketball GOD. SOmeone lied to him

I don't use the term basketball GOD.

But any player that is in the NBA has at some point, wherever he has played, been considered a HUGE talent and a very good player.
It's not until they make it to the NBA people like you start to call them scrubs. But i guess that's part of the package for the guys who out of millions of players around the world make it to a league with only about 400 spots in it.

[CeoTypeDoe619]

Yeah i watch probably 80% of Laker games.

Phil jackson started Kwame Brown, Luke Walton, Smush Parker. Why did he do thar? If Phil thought he was valuable he wouldnt not play him for a month just for some jack in the box :oldlol: :oldlol:

[ZenMaster]

Kwame and Smush because they where on the team when he took over as a coach again. They're not there anymore, and one is out of the league.

Luke is a valuable piece to the Lakers, he could start today and he would do alright.

Phil not playing him was about accountability for agreements that where made prior to the season.
Good coaches hold their players accountable for the agreements they make with the players whether it be in the NBA or on the local JV team. To a good coach it doesn't matter if it's about arguing with the coaching staff at an NBA game, or cleaning up the table where your team ate dinner at a weekend U14 tournament. You're accountable of doing what you're supposed to do when being on the team.

[nbastatus]

:oldlol: Why just because he wears a lakers jersey? :oldlol:
He made it to the team for a reason. I don't see your boys in the gym getting near the D-League.

[RazorBaLade]

You can say the same about 1 or 2 players on any (ANY) team in the NBA, difference is that Sasha in his prime could really lock someone down (Mike Bibby the head of the fanclub, anybody?) and was good for a few shots a game, and was even an X factor at some point when his shot was really on and he was the machine. However now he is just a defender that is one step slower and a shooter that isn't making a lot of shots, but he might see some flashes of his prime in the playoffs and hopefully we will.

you fail.

[Lakas Fan Yo]

It looks like you don't have the concept of 'NBA >>>>>>>>>>>>> Streetball' Don't you think there's a tiny, TINY difference between guys who get paid millions to play basketball, and guys who simply do fancy tricks and dribbling technique, and palm the ball every time they drive? Sasha has proved that he is, at the very least, a marginal NBA player, and we are talking about the top 400 basketball players in the ENTIRE WORLD.

You are crazy if you believe the top 400 players in the world are in the NBA. You need to stop buying the NBA hype machine.

WTF are you on? Sasha is the biggest insult ever to Yugoslavia's basketball school. I doubt he could even last 1 week on any decent Euroleague team. He clearly has pictures on Buss or Jackson or something.

are you looking for a response? he has ZERO potential
Hes 25 so your saying he is past his prime? I said hes the most useless player in the nba
you can oly say that to about 3 ppl

nevermind I didn't notice the whole why is sasha STILL in the Nba thing, I thought it was a diss on him overall not just currently/the last year. Theres pretty much no chance hes getting another contract after this year so I guess I agree.

I have seen every Laker game of Sasha's career and he has not, is not, and will never be an "X-factor"
He had a nice 3pt shot but it was far far away from him being considered an xfactor..

Dudes been in the league for 5 years and your saying hes past his prime...
Hes never played a 20mpg in a season
He Was Cut From Slovenian National Team!!!!
That right there should be enough to prove that he should not be in the NBA...

there are many Dleague/FAs that desreve the spot sasha is taking up and the fact that he is making 5 mil blows my mind...

Ronny>>Sasha
i still cant believe they chose sasha...

[ukballer]

This isn't a hate thread at all. He's not even a elite college player. On a daily basis i see guy at the gym who are WAY better then this guy. He is probably te worst player in the NBA if not top 3. Even the other horrible players at least have some form of athleticism that is rare. The guy cant shoot,dribble, play defense, slow, weak and the list goes on.
Is he related to Jerry Buss?

:oldlol:

07/08 in pre game shows sasha was "the x factor" a lot. Of course lamar has always been the lakers real x factor but there was a time that sasha having a good game was a difference between a win and a loss (i mean x factor wise, obviously not the kind of difference someone like kobe or gasol makes)

I don't know if he's past his prime or not but he has been in a shooting slump for 2 years, call it one of those I guess.

He was cut from the slov team because he had some knee injury or something and it led to a dispute with the staff, read up on it. It wasn't because of skill.

Agreed with ronny over sasha.

[MagicalLA]

He is top 10 all time, easily.

[ZenMaster]

Getting minutes from Phil Jackson, you guys are delusional to think he shouldn't be in the NBA when there are plenty of players not getting minutes at all.
He's not even the worst player on his own team.

[Kellogs4toniee]

I think it's pretty ridiculous how one can claim they see players on a daily basis at the gym that play better then Vujacic.

I'm trying to be line-ant here... ok so lets say Oon some of those street courts, especially at New York, I can definitely see that being possible: you have to still consider all the politics and mental fortitude one needs to be able to go out into a crowded arena and expect to produce in front of millions of viewers on television.

What i'm trying to get at is, after all those physical and mental obstacles, Vujacic has shown he can still at least play in the NBA, regardless of how much he contributes. I am positive if he were to go to a playground game or a game in the gym, with all that NBA bull-crap cut out, he would be able to drop 30/40/50+ easily if he wanted to. Which is where I think that original claim is ridiculous.

[DCL]

This isn't a hate thread at all.

dude, i fking hate sasha. epitome of a cocksucking bastard.

come on, you can admit it too. stand up and say it with me.

[twolvesfan]

Sasha Pavlovic is far worse:violin:

[dough]

Because he's not good enough for European basketball.

[Doo Doo_Brown]

and 1 and pick up is too COMPLETELY different things scrub...
Alston had a career 100x better then Sasha and is 100x better

Lol you're an idiot. You obviously don't understand the difference between NBA basketball and pickup/streetball.

If those guys at your gym are good enough to be in the NBA, why arent they? Because they rather ball with your homies at the local Y and working that crappy 9-5 instead of making millions? :roll:

This is moronic and basically where I stopped taking this serious. Vujacic sucks, but he's a decent three point shooter and he has good size for a shooting guard. He's a tenth or twelfth man, but he's better than anyone not playing some kind of professional or college basketball. Shit, Adam Morrison dominated in college, it's not that big a deal if someone does. Also, those guys at the gym are playing against stepdads and people who are three years removed from playing on their high school team, so it's not exactly like these supermen you see are playing against NBA defenses.

If Vujacic played against the same competition that these "non Nba caliber" guys have played against then he'd easily be the best. He'd be the biggest, strongest, most skilled, likely fastest.

D-Leaguers would smoke any of these players you speak of as well.

:oldlol: I don't know where you play basketball but where i play theirs actual ballers their that play college ball etc. Even NBA players sometimes show up there in the summer. Richard Jefferson, Trevor Ariza, Jared Dudley. :oldlol: @ stepdads. You need to stop going to your local 24 hr fitness :oldlol: .
If Sasha is really a NBA caliber player why did he cut from his Slovenian national team LAST SUMMER? Shouldnt he have been the best player their? Because every one else on that team COULDNT make the NBA. Proves my point the guy is not worthy of being in the NBA PERIOD!

You're comparing him to NBA players. I'm comparing him to non-professional athletes. Big difference

Why are you not responding to the fact that the players you speak of have never played against a fulll NBA team defense. Vujacic may suck then but obviously he's 1000000000000000000x better than any of these guys you speak of.

[FindingTim]

to the guy who said that guys at his gym could beat Sasha: you greatly underestimate the quickness and skill of NBA players. I bet if Sasha gave max effort he could keep the guys at your gym from scoring a single basket.

[CeoTypeDoe619]

You're comparing him to NBA players. I'm comparing him to non-professional athletes. Big difference
Can you please answer me why Sasha got cut from his Slovenian national team last summer? He was suppose to be the best player there right? NONE of those guys could sniff the NBA. So how come Sasha couldnt make it? :oldlol: :oldlol:
His own country knows he is nothing but a scrub who knew the right people and snuck his foot in the door

Dleaugers play up there who are WAY WAY WAY better then Sasha.

If Sasha really isn't a NBA caliber player why does get playing time by the GOAT coach who's known for not playing young players, even playing on a championship team?

A sprinkle of Dleaguers does NOT constitute any semblance of an NBA team much less an NBA defense.

I'm not disagreeing that Sasha doesn't deserve to play considering his contract and lack of productivity. The fact that you think guys that have never faced competition as stifling as an NBA team are better than him, then that's just a joke. Dleaguers being better I can believe, non-pro guys..hell no.

You consider 8 minutes per game playing time?
And he had 20 DNP throughout the whole season
So where are you seeing all this playing time?
I call it garbage time when they blowing out teams...
and last time i checked 26 wasnt young:ohwell:

There are players not getting any time at all. Any mpg are playing time.
And yes he's had a bad season, but his track shows he's a contributor. He's at 14.5mpg for his career, that's playing time.

Kwame Brown started and played 35 minutes per game for the "GOAT COACH". Do you think he is a NBA caliber player? Your defense is just flat out retarded. This aint football you cant cut players and not pay them. You got to work with what you got.

What are your qualifications to say wether or not he belongs in the NBA? Watching your non-NBA pals hoopin it up with a bunch of nobodies at your local Y? :lol

Why don't you try out for the Lakers HC job? You obviously know much more than Phil. Phil is an idiot for giving Sasha playing time.

1)Kwame isn't playing for the Lakers anymore. They got rid of him, they did not get rid of Sasha, he's still there.

2) Considering Kwame is finishing up his 9th NBA season and still getting playing time i think it's quite obvious he's an NBA caliber player. Not a good one, but he's playing.

So no you couldn't answer my question. All you could do was ask a question back about another player, well done kiddo.

[bdreason]

Sasha was ballin tonight.

[blacknapalm]

ya, he showed why he was in the NBA tonight.

"He's an offensive rebounding machine. That's what he is now." - Phil Jackson

he's one of the greatest rebounders to ever don a lakers jersey

Sasha is not one of the best NBA ballers by any stretch. But he fits into the lakers system and this is why he gets playing time. But a better question would be... Why Is Sean May in the NBA? He's either out of shape, hurt or DNP coaches decision. This dude has been in the league for 4 yrs too.

i keep wondering about the same thing:lol
anyways sasha boxscore tonight:13 pts, 5-9fg 2-2ft, 1-3 3pt, 6rb, 2ast, 1st, not a bad performance, and for some reason, i see a little more hops when he jumps, or maybe its just me.

[kobesabi]

Sasha is on ISH, he read your posts so he put up some numbers today.

[The Iron Fist]

To hit clutch freethrows at the end of a game 7 in the finals.

[momo]

is that suppose to be impressive? Thats not even a dunk

No but this is.


Because he shoots free throw better than Dwight Howard.:oldlol:

Additionally, sasha is on the lakers because they like to get guys with long hair and then have them cut it. The GOAT player in this regard is Rick Fox. He did it many times.

Rick Fox also shoots free throws better than Dwight Howard > Yao
