<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>Playing a team-high 29 minutes, Nenad Krstic netted 12 points as Argentina handily beat Serbia in the FIBA Diamond Ball for Men tournament in Nanjing, China, 75-60. Showing some rust, Krstic hit just five of thirteen shots and two of six free throws, while pulling down six rebounds. Andres Nocioni, who has recently been linked to the Nets, scored 15 points for Argentina. Serbia faces Angola tomorrow.</div>

Well, looks like Nenad's improving...somewhat. I like the 6 rebounds. I hope he can continue this improvement up until next season, and then either join the Nets or get us a fair trade.

The loss or Nad's shooting percentage shouldn't be too much to look into, either. With Nocioni, Oberto, Ginobili, Scola, and Delfino, I'd expect dominance. Hell, we should feel good that he ended up with 12 and 6 with 2 steals and a block - that's great, especially considering his not-so-recognizable teammates.

I thought Nenad was doing a nice job of rebounding last season. Or better than in past years.
