Euro Update

[SportsTicker]

Nenad Krstic has played three games in the Russian league and is averaging 9.3 ppg and 5.3 rpg, shooting a horrible 41.2%. In the EuroCup, not the Euroleague but a much less prestigous competition, he averaged 16.0 and 8.5 in two games. His team, Triumph Lyubertsy, has disappointed.

Boki Nachbar has played four games in the Russian League and is averaging 16.3 and 8.0. He is shooting 55.0% from inside the arc and 42.1% from outside it.

Jaycee Carroll has played four games in the Italian league and is averaging 17.0 ppg but only 2.0 apg. He is a monster shooting. He is shooting 66.7% from outside the arc (12 for 18) and 40.6% inside. He and his wife just had a baby girl.

Nets retain rights to Krstic and can match any offer made to him. His contract, as well as the other two, permit them to leave Europe this summer and return to the NBA. The Nets have no contractual rights with either Nachbar or Carroll.

Thanks for the update.

Nachbar playing great. Seems like Krstic is still scared of contact on that knee.

Thanks for the updates.

Those are some impressive numbers by Boki and Carroll.

Thanks for the update.

ESPN just had a story on it today. Says he's average 14.5 ppg, 6 rpg.

Robert Hite (remember him?) just signed for a month with Spanish powerhouse Tau Ceramica. Hope he does well there, I liked him.

Hite replaces Tau's Zoran Planinic, who now plays for CSKA Moscow in the same league as Krstic and Nachbar.

With the Russian economy tanking, and the price of oil dropping, I hope Boki and Nenad get to see those new paychecks.

Krstic had 2 good years and now its all downhill.

He's done.

We shall see...and if he isn't and the Nets dump Williams and let Swift expire, there might be room from him on next year's roster.

eh...I'd rather let him go. We really don't need him anymore.
