They are still more skilled than their Israeli counterparts. The team at the Temple Emannuel in my hometown could beat Maccabi TA in a 7 game series.

He's a serb, but how does that relate to Josh Childress

This thread should be hijacked by a more interesting player. Josh is a borderline basketball talent. Terrence Morris is a better player. So is Pete Mikeal.
Josh is going to score 6 points on horrible shooting, grab 5 boards, net 2 assists, and turnover the ball 4 times when Olympiacos plays Unicaja.

I think Josh Childress will be just fine, he'll average slightly under 11 ppg for the season. At minimum Olympiacos should reach the final four, and are a contender to win the championship. Josh Childress will be a part of Olympiacos success.

Re: Josh Childress Might Be A Bust In Euroleague
I think it's the different european style of basketball that's giving josh problems...In Europe, it's all about the fundamentals(finding the open team mate, hitting the open shot, finding cutting team mates, etc...) while in the NBA, teams rely more on isolation plays and plays that benefit athleticism. There are only a few NBA teams who stick to fundamentals nowadays(detroit, spurs, lakers, maybe the celtics). A lot of NBA teams are adapting the run and gun offense. Childress was a LITTLE more succesful in the NBA because of his athleticism. He's struggling in europe because he doesn't have a well enough grasp of their style of basketball(he MIGHT learn overtime). IMO, he is overpaid, he should have stayed in the NBA. The NBA is definitely a WAY more talented league but in terms of basketball IQ and team work, the Euroleague just might have the edge...
I am an nba fan as proven by my lakers avatar by the way, Im just trying to state what I observed through the years of watchin basketball.

Re: Josh Childress Might Be A Bust In Euroleague
from what I see, 9.8 PPG in 27.1 MPG is pretty close to 11.2 PPG in 29.9 MPG... but I never thought Childress was that great anyways. Obviously he is a solid player, but that's all he is. He's not expected to be a Superstar.

7 pts (3/10 FG), 7 rbs, 3 ass, 3 TO
Pretty close I'd say
Considering how much he is (over)paid he is a bust. If he was paid according to his real value he would be a damn good Euroleague player.

Re: Josh Childress Might Be A Bust In Euroleague
Childress is way overpaid! And having that in mind, ant that is most important non-playing category in Europe, some can say he is a bust. If u ask me, I` can thing of more than ten player I`d rather have in my team than him. And they would all be much cheaper.
