Ante Tomic EuroBasket 2011
- Thread starter prodigy
- Start date
Not the best comp yet, but some good numbers. If we can bring him over season after next for around 4-5 million I say do it. Insurance policy and cheaper just in case Millsap and/or Jefferson leave.
Not bad for our future backup center...

We really need to stop following this guy's career. It's just giving me false hope.

Tomic just doesn't have the physicality to be anything more than a bench player. Maybe he'd have some value to a team like GS, New York or Phoenix. He'll never see the floor in a Jazz uniform.

Favors, Millsap, Kanter, Tomic...I like the foursome. Trade Jefferson for a stud 3.

The problem with Tomic is he's already like 24 or 25 and has shown no desire to come over at all. Maybe a lot of money would change his mind, but the Jazz can't offer all that much. Its time to shop his rights to a team that need a center and have a lot of cap room. Cleveland maybe?
This is interesting and appreciated, but yeah, not likely we see him in the NBA, and even less likely we see him on the Jazz.
But count me in as someone intrigued by him coming off the bench with Also Jefferson out of the picture. But really only under that circumstance.

no NBA for this guy?
The question begins with the extension that he signed. And unless the Jazz trade him, he won't be bought out. He's got it pretty sweet in Spain right now, too.
Ante tomic doesnt have sufficient attributesssssss, please lets see it anymore, he is not an nba guy. And currently he is competing against the worst teams in europe, their group is pretty weak, i doubt he will even take 35 mins n 26 pts in total in his first year in nba
he is like a gasol who didnt get fed for a year. We even debate gasols physical competency against big guys in nba, this guy will be thrown to the floor in every defensive action. So he will get opponents called offensive foul 20 percent of the time and he will get dunks on his *** for the 80 percent.
Just because he is weak doesn't mean he can't play in the NBA. If he has skills he can make. I see him potentially pulling a Scola and coming over in his late 20's, after he has already seen and done it all in Europe.
Don't expect anything, and you won't have anything to be let down about.

No thanks....
I thought our rights to Tomic will expire after a certain number of years. 7 years is what comes to mind.

turns out that we keep his rights for one year past however long he plays pro ball elsewhere.
So if he wants to come to the NBA, but refuses to come to Utah, he must quit Basketball for an entire year.
