Ante Tomic is ballin right now

Same stuff was said about Evans, he is producing.

Tomic can play in the NBA. The question is if he is willing to take the role and pay cut to do it.

We have a saying ' dont confuse Apple with Pear'
Dont know if i translate correctly. I mean Evans is a similar product with completely different seeds. He is used to being a good athlete all his life. Tomic doesnt meet the nba requirements. He pass the Skills and Fundamentals class but he got an F from athleticism and toughness.

Basically if you are Tomic and his likes, you can't qualify to nba school unless you bribe the Dean.

The fact is he is a very good basketball player. He can play in the NBA. I'm nearly positive of it. Not saying how good he can be, but to say he doesn't have a chance of competing is ignorant, imo.
 
I'm at least intrigued by the possibility of bringing him over. The Jazz can offer whatever they want. The CBA allows teams to offer more than the salary scale for a pick if they haven't signed with the team that owns their NBA rights after 3 years. Learned this because of the Bulls situation with Nikola Mirotic.
 
27 years old already and this week he had a career high of 24 points?
I know stats can be a bit underwhelming in Europe, but he's not much of a scorer, not a dominant rebounder and he's skinny (7'1" 225). So just what does he do well?

He's averaging ~ 11 and 6 in 22 mpg, in a league where it's hard to accumulate stats. Hell, he averages more assists than turnovers, not too many big guys can say that.

He's a smooth, polished player. I would love to have him over here.
 
He should at least be a good trade asset this summer if we are not going to use him:

Ante Tomic has been named Euroleague MVP for the month of February.

Tomic averaged 22.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 29.5 minutes over three February games for Barcelona.
