If you talk without any experience watching Euroleague or ACB and you dare to talk about how worthless or bad Tomic is you have absolutely no idea how things work, how a young players develops into a professional athlete. You know what? It's a LONG PROCESS. Even Gasol, who I have watched for years, did not suddenly become the focal point of Spain etc.
FACT: Ante Tomic is MORE talented than Fesenko, Koufos, many of centers ,who are considered "promising" players. There is no player in my mind ,near the age of Tomic, that reminds me of a young Gasol or Nowitzki. Of course, it does not mean that Tomic will be as terrific as Gasol or Nowitzki. However, considering his age and the talent that he has, it's really weird to bash him for a couple of badly performed games.

I really like the kid. My problem with him, and Millsap, and Jefferson, and Okur is that they aren't a defensive presence at the 5. We already have enough 4's. And yes, I know what his height is but he doesn't play big. If this kid played any 5, it'd be off the bench with Millsap there at the 4 to clean up the boards this kid didn't, excuse me couldn't, get.

I got a chance to watch his game vs. Slovenia which he struggled through, however he did make a couple nice offensive moves and got to the foul line a couple times, but a problem with him is that some of his shots are too far from the basket, he definitely needs to work on getting good post position, he has the offensive skill to score once he get's the ball down on the post, but the question is can he establish his position first. He would make it a lot easier on himself if he worked on that and part of it is getting stronger, get this kid in the weight room.
