<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The most impressive thing about Nenad Kristic statline had to have been the 7 rebounds because the 2.8rebounds per game stat from his time playing on his team in Serbia is a real concern. But this shows somewhat his willingness to bang on the boards even tho Ming isnt exactly a tuff guy on the boards. 4 steals & 2 blockshots sounds like a pretty good defensive out put. Iam not really worried about the offensive end, they say he has alot of raw skills & what he doesnt have will come as his game developes. Iam more concerned with his tuffness on the boards & on the defensive end, so from that stand point sounds like an impressive performance against on of the league better young bigmen in Ming.</div>
SHOCK. I agree with Henacy. Kristic's rebounding does look pretty good. He looked tough a bit, but then again, that Chinese national team is pretty weak, from what I remember. They lost to the Dallas Maverick's summer team 2 out of 3 times. The 1 time Dallas lost was because of Yao, Yao sat out the other two games with an injury. So outside of Yao, the Chinese National team doesn't sound all that strong. However, I hear that Kristic did show some quickness and did an all right on Yao (Yao looks stronger in those pictuers and looks like he's getting more muscle) then Kristic's future looks bright. Kristic also has a lot on the line. He pretty much used most of his money on the buyout on his contract, meaning that he needs to work hard for a new or extended contract. From what I read in interviews it seems as if he has a lot of hunger, which is good.
