Ante Tomic is Euroleague MVP

[Beantown]

For the month of February. He averaged 17, 5, and 1 block.

I don't think he will ever be an All-Star or even if he wants to come to the NBA but he could be a great 3rd big man backing up Kanter and Favors in a few years.

A great 3rd big? Even that's debatable. Five rebounds is ****ing weak.

Wow slow down there Cowboy. You have to put it into context. Ante is playing about 22 min per game. About the same as Favors per night. Where Favors is at about 6 rebounds.

Jeremy Evans is developing nicely.

Fair point. He was third in total rebounds in the league I think. And he had 1.6 blocks per game. Terrible assists guy though.

The question is who's skinnier out of Tomic and Evans?

Perhaps let Big Al walk and sign Tomic. I can see a championship in our future.

Evans...but it's close

I haven't followed the Tomic situation close enough. Is he ever going to come over, or what? Next season would be perfect timing.

Evans> Tomic all day

Not sure but he's not too old either. He just turned 26.

Good point, a 7'2" center that doesn't average 10 assists per game is useless in the NBA.

Haha, I take that back anyway. He's averaging around 3 assists per 36.

We should wait till Favors and Kanter have established themselves otherwise Corbin will recognize his many years in the Euroleague as him paying his dues, and he'll start over both Favors and Kanter.

If KOC could use his rights to move up some in this draft it would be a win.

Doesn't he have a huge buyout? I doubt he'll ever play in the NBA.

I believe his contract ends in 2 years. I could be wrong though.
