euros worth looking at...

[Uther TheGardener]

Jonas Jerebko- 6-9 (no measurements) Angelico Biella, Sweden, 1987

Slava Kravtsov, 6-11, 7-2 ½ wingspan, 235 pounds BC Kyiv, Ukraine, 1987

jonas looks bigger than that picture at the euro camp.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Just seeing that picture of Slava I can tell he's probably a stiff.

Jerebko got length!

 

[Uther TheGardener]

because all the championship teams now for the past 9 years have several international players on the team and that in order to win in the nba you need a mix of inter and american players to get the mix of skill you used to get back in the 80s and back. The US game lost a lot when the Jordan and Magic era were in full swing US game went one way FLASH and Dash not the fundamentals which the Inter game went.

 

[Nikolokolus]

For the record I have to say those were not Euros worth looking at ... talk about an ugly group of muther fuckers.

 

[Blazer4ever]

1A) Sergio Llull

very good player

 

[Uther TheGardener]

2001,2002 Los Angeles Lakers-Stanislav Medvedenko
2003-spurs
2004- Okur
2005-spurs
2007-spurs
2009-lakers

so you say that the all american teams are the truth when ummm well 2 teams have won with no international players? Seems to me that since 2000 a total of seven teams have.

 

[Blaze01]

Who cares if they are international are not? The question is can they play and succeed in the NBA? and I think it has been PROVEN that they can...so if POR mgmt sees a player that they like and think can help this team now or down the road then they shoudl draft him...plain and simple...

One of the nice things about european players is that you can draft them and then have them play\develop in europe for several years before you look to bring them over....which IMO is very useful for NBA teams...

 

[Scuall]

Medvedenko wasn't in the rotation.

Yes he was, even got player of the game once. [video=youtube;j9VZ-JrMV5k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9VZ-JrMV5k[/video]...

 

[Mediocre Man]

Heidi Klum
Any Russian female tennis player



Those would be examples of euros worth looking at on this draft night

 

[Uther TheGardener]

the last all american vs all american finals was 2000.....

 

[Minstrel]

the last all american vs all american finals was 2000.....

The Pacers had Rik Smits. His final season, I believe.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

the last all american vs all american finals was 2000.....

who cares?

 

[ODENISGOD]

why do euros smell?

 

[Uther TheGardener]

who cares? maybe the teams with the rings and the one that is about to get a ring.....

 

[Uther TheGardener]

so in a way they are cus of the lux tax and cap....you can keep them over there and dont have to do an outlaw on them...wait wait wait.....nedzad never cut it so he never got a roster spot if he was american he would have taken up a slot if he was a 1st rounder just an example...

but Jonas looks like a guy todraft if Joel Freeland never comes over....

 

[Rastapopoulos]

These are all Euros to draft. What about Euros to sign as free agents? I've been harping on about Pablo Prigioni (who is actually primarily Argentinian) but I'd also be very interested in Felipe Reyes, who is the Spanish version of Luis Scola. I believe he is a FA, and like Scola, might think it's about time he tried the NBA.

 

[Big Frame]

Medvedenko wasn't in the rotation.

So you've got the spurs, and the pistons w/ Okur off the bench. Not exactly compelling evidence.

Hey now, Darko was very important to the Pistons.
