    Apparently he has good back to the basket moves and is a finesse big man but he also posses a consistent perimeter jumpshot

    He also has great footwork as we're accustomed to seeing from international big men. But to defend with bigger men in the Nba he needs to get stronger.

    He's one of those versatile international big man that can do a bit of everything,can knock down the jumper play with their back to the basket and has great footwork.

    I don't like that sentence about him being lazy and content at playing better, not dominating his opponents....attitude is one of the most underrated aspects of an NBA player, especially for a rookie.

    Well thats something he can mature into but yea once he goes in the Nba I don't think that not dominating his opponents thing will be a factor, the second he goes against someone like Amare I think he's gonna get that knocked right out of him


    He reminds me Gasol in a way because he can basiclly do everything and that versatility is something you don't see everyday but you see alot oversees

    Yep - this rarely changes.

    I foresee Darko 2.0 - at least in attitude.
    Reminds me of Nikoloz Tskitishvili as a player.

    The euros play a lot different game to the NBA. You see guys like Gallinari, Bargnani, Scola. They all have limited success, just for the fact that the game is a lot different to that of the NBA. It's not that they won't succeed in the NBA it's more that they won't turn out to be "superstars"

    It depends there's some big men like Dirk, and Gasol that have success because they can do everything . And basically I see that in this guy He can shoot, Has great back to the basket moves, is athletic, can pass the ball, can rebound is a good shot blocker(Need Improvements) and is great on the break

    The thing that popped out about me him first to me is that he's a great rebounder

    His skills looked solid in that vid. I'd like to see some tape of him defending and rebounding in traffic though.

    Other than finishing skills, this guy looks ALOT like KG on offense. I like what I see. Moves well with the ball in his hands. Has a decent stroke off the dribble. That sh*t is invaluable at 7'0.

    I'm impressed. His defense is probably trash, tho.

    No he's actually a good defender but he needs to bulk up cause he gets posted up and dosen't have alot of muscle right now and alright shotblocker too

    Lol I have vids of games of him I'm watching right now.

    His 3 point shot is very consistent though

    And he's a good free throw shooter

    Number 5 pick to DEnver, 2002.

    Busted.


    why? it takes a special mindset and attitude to succeed as a tall jumpshooting euro in the NBA. Dirk and Danilo have it - this kid doesnt. 3 years and out.

    The vid is deceiving - he is nothing like KG on offense. He isn't half the finisher of KG and he plays much more around the 3PT line.

    He actually likes to play inside. So he can get offensive rebounds. He uses his 3 point shot to make it easier for others to play around him.
