Ante Tomic

[Duck Rodgers]

I think he looks rubbish personally. I'd trade his rights for another shot in this year's draft.

Woah - is that Morris Almond riding the pine on Tomic's team?

Yes, and He´s don´t playing nothing

Yes, and He´s don´t playing nothing

Yes! And never is to begin from

I'd trade his rights for a $0.50 discount on all beer at the arena this season.

18-7 in 28 min, great match for Ante

Ok, is it my imagination or is MORRIS ALMOND on that box score? (Playing zero minutes BTW, what a waste of a draft pick)

 

[Duck Rodgers]

Milt Palacio as well.

stocillo, what is the deal with Splitter? Is he ever coming to the NBA?

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

I have a legit question for anyone who knows more than me (which is next to nothing) about international play. Whenever I look at these Euro's stats, they don't impress. I think they play more team ball with less isolations and the stars get less PT than say a star in the NBA as far as minutes per game. But I can never help but feel underwhelmed when looking at any of the prospective big's rebounding and blocked shots numbers. Is there a reason? Is there no shot clock or one greater than 24 seconds, and thus less possessions per game? Are the numbers simply a reflection of the style of play?

Morris Almond will do very well to stay in Europe and re-learn that basketball is a team sport first. If he keeps his head up, I see no reason he can't return as a nice player.

As far as Splitter goes, I doubt he ever plays in the NBA unless the new CBA somehow allows the Spurs to circumvent 1st rounder rookie pay scale. He's the cautionary tale of drafting overseas players in the 1st round.

Part of it might be the different lane they have. It provides a bit different spacing dimensions on both offense and defense.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that 1st rounders are no longer subject to rookie pay scales after 3 seasons from when they were drafted. I remember someone from ESPN doing a story that Rubio will only come to the NBA after the 2011 season because he would no longer be bound by the rookie pay scale.

Ante Tomic vuelve a ser noticia en Estados Unidos. El pívot, cuyos derechos en la NBA pertenecen a los Utah Jazz, ha sido una de las grandes revelaciones de la ACB y en Utah están pendientes de sus evoluciones.

El jugador tiene una cláusula que dificulta una hipotética marcha a la NBA, pero el 'general manager' del equipo, Kevin O'Connor, ha hablado del pívot croata ante un supuesto interés de otras franquicias por hacerse con sus derechos.

Preguntado por un posible traspaso, O'Connor no cierra ninguna puerta. "Si sirve para mejorar nuestro equipo, consideraríamos cualquier posibilidad", explicó en el local 'Deseret News'.

Los Timberwolves, de ruta por Europa
La presencia de Kurt Rambis y David Kahn, entrenador y 'general manager' de los Timberwolves, ha disparado la rumorología en todo el continente. Según publica la prensa serbia, esta semana han presenciado en directo un partido del Estrella Roja para seguir en directo a Nemanja Bjelica.

Bjelica, un alero que también está en la agenda del Regal Barça, es elegible automáticamente en el próximo 'Draft' y su nombre aparece en las previsiones como posible segunda ronda.

La opción de Tomic, apuntada por algunos medios, se antoja improbable ya que los Timberwolves ya poseen los derechos de otros dos pívots en Europa: Nikola Pekovic y Henk Norel.

If anyone wants me to translate that, I'll do it a bit later.
