Barca, Real, Milan i Monaco na F4. Ali po kvalitetu, individualnoj tehnici, atmosferi jako, jako tuzno, i ne zelim da cujem da neko od tih u sustini krs timova igra NBA kosarku. Jad i ocaj.

Istina

Kosarkasko umece, brzina akcija, atleticizam i intenzitet juce je nesto sto je za el naucna fantastika. Smesan si ti, al hajde, svake moze da tera svoje budalastine.

Ulm je strasno povezan sa americkim agencijama, stoji u kontaktu direkto sa nekoliko NBA FOa, i svake godine trener i najmanje 1 exekutivac provode leti celi mesec u Las Vegasu (vec sigurno 20 godina) gde nije samo letnja liga nego gde agencije odrzavaju campove i gde se sretnes svaki dan na business meetingu sa gomilom vaznih likova. Felicio je bio direktnu nudjen od strane agencije na osnovu tih dugogodisnjih odnosa. Igrac i agencij znaju da ne moze da ubode garantovani ugovor, cilj je sredina gde ima prime status, gde se igra slobodno, player friendly, novac nije uopste bitan, nekih 250000 $, bez out klauzule, igrac zeli da do kraja sezone ostaje u Ulmu. Niko nije primetio da je Ulm na slican nacin posle pocetka sezone dobio Thornwella, decko minimum top 10 igrac u celov evropi na 2/3. Problem je sto je cela infrastruktura (treneri, management, gledaoci, medije) u regionu needukovana, nesofisticirana, lenja. Koliko svake godine anylytics napreduje, toliko se manje barata time ovde.

Jeste mali uzorak, vidi se da je Poku napredovao, mnogo. Ali on je jos uvek mizeran i taj put da bude igrac je toliko neizvestan da ne vidim da OKC investira jos mnogo vremena u njega. Imaju minimum 7 1st pikova 22/23 i nude prostor u salary capu za pikove.

@goldberg@mind. Pitajte Messinu, Milojevica, Scariolu, ozbiljne trenere koji su doziveli tu neobaveznu kosarku. 100 puta takmicarski ozbilnija i vrednija. Igra se defanzivno tri stepena igrice iznad nego u evroligi. Igrac ko dolazi iz evrolige poslednjih 20 godine gubi u proseku 13 % poena svog % suta kada pocinje da igra ozbiljnu kosarku.

Cam Thomas ce biti nekih 10 godina solidni trpac- minimum, Claxton moze da bude prime defenzivac i pnr finisher, Kessler nije za bacanje. Uz Durantu solidna kombinacija.

@realno *w "A glavni problem je pad kvaliteta američkih igrača u NBA, gde odlazi sve više prosečnih evropskih igrača." Broj evropskih igraca ne raste, vrti se negde oko 60, sa tim da imas sve vise na 2-way, od tih 60 nekih 30 su fringe talenti, i vracaju se u evropu za 2-4 godine, isto zato sto nivo americkog talenta ne pada, nego raste.

Bogdanovic limited na pocetka campa posto je primio PRP u kolenu. Naravno da ne bi igrao oi. "Bogdanovic recently said he's fully healthy entering the season after receiving a PRP injection in his knee during the offseason, but the Hawks will still bring him along slowly to open camp". "But the Serb, victim of a bone tearing, managed to avoid the operation by relying on immobilization for nearly two months to consolidate the fractured bone, in order to make his return to the prosecution in March. Problem, the Atlanta player once again felt pain in his right knee during the Hawks’ playoff campaign, raising fears of the specter of surgery. To replace it, Bogdan Bogdanovic finally received an injection of PRP (plasma rich in platelets) at the end of last season in order to make the pain disappear." Slicne povrede su imali hronican tok, tako da Atlanta to pazljivo prate i realna opcija da blokiraju nastupe za naciju.

NBA ROSTERS DILUTED THANKS TO EXPANSION By Deseret News Jan 5, 1996, 12:00am MST Richard Evans, Sports Writer There are no great NBA teams this season. There are some pretty good teams - Chicago, Orlando, Houston spring to mind - but no great ones.The reason? Expansion. This is not an isolated viewpoint. All around the league, people are saying that the NBA, in its rush to take advantage of an expanding fan base, has diluted its product. The prime evidence is in Chicago. The Bulls are on their way to a 70-plus win season, causing some people to call them a great team. Bulls forward Dennis Rodman, for one, won't be impressed if Chicago smashes the NBA record of 69 wins in a season, set by a great Laker team of the early '70s. "This league is so filtered and watered down, we can beat anybody with our eyes closed, pretty much," Rodman said. Charles Barkley and Larry Bird have expressed comparable sentiments about the way the league has thinned out; Bird even used the Jazz as an example, and people in the Jazz camp have a hard time disagreeing. "You look at the overall picture, it is diluted to some extent," said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, whose team is in Los Angeles preparing to meet the Lakers on Friday night. "You can get by with three great players on a team, and have a chance to win it all. Before, you had to have four or five great players, and some good players around them." Compare Chicago, for instance, to the great teams of the '80s. The Bulls have two great players, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, a great rebounder/defender in Rodman, and then what? Toni Kukoc. Ron Harper. Luc Longley. Steve Kerr. Bill Wennington. "They have some players who play their roles very well, but I don't think we're talking about the same caliber of player (as on the top teams of the '80s)," Sloan said. Orlando is almost identical to the Bulls. The Magic have two great players in Anfernee Hardaway and Shaquille O'Neal, a strong rebounder/defender in Horace Grant, and good outside shooters in Nick Anderson and Dennis Scott. But their bench consists of Jon Koncak and Brian Shaw. Now, think back to Boston's championship teams of the '80s. A frontline of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish. Dennis Johnson in the backcourt. A supporting cast that included, at various times, Danny Ainge, Nate Archibald, Bill Walton, Jerry Sichting, Cornbread Maxwell. "The talent level now nowhere compares to what it was eight years ago, and obviously it's because of expansion," said Jazz broadcaster Ron Boone. What the NBA has done is add six teams since 1988. Some would argue that expansion only took away the bottom one or two players from each team, but that means more players in the league who would have been in the CBA. And when a team suffers a couple of injuries, suddenly that 11th or 12th player is the sixth man, or maybe even a starter. In addition, the fact that there are 29 teams now means the great players are spread out more. That should make for parity, with more teams having a chance to win a title, but that hasn't been the case. Houston won the last two NBA titles, Chicago the three before that. Unlike the '80s, when the Lakers and Celtics and Sixers took turns winning titles and played some magnificent series, we now get the Rockets blowing out the benchless Magic in four games. There are those, however, who think that expansion hasn't diluted the NBA. At least one, anyway. Jazz assistant coach Gordon Chiesa argues that there were always guys in the CBA capable of playing in the NBA, and that expansion simply gave them a much-deserved opportunity. "Even on lesser teams, there's very good players," Chiesa said. "The reason they're not winning is they don't share the ball and do what it takes to win. Some players have a hard time breaking old habits." In rebuttal, one might point out that expansion has prolonged the careers of those players who can't rid themselves of bad habits. A decade ago, they would have been out of the league. Now, teams hang on to them, hoping someday they'll come around. Sloan said that expansion has changed the game from an emphasis on height to an emphasis on versatility. "With 29 teams in the league, there are not that many centers to go around," he said. "You have to play a different brand of basketball." What Boone worries about is talk of even more expansion. He says the NBA is already a league of guys who can run and jump but don't know how to play the game. "What I'm concerned about is the lack of good shooters," he said. "Guys are more athletic now, but they're not fundamentally sound. How much more expansion can they do?"

Dosta sa pricama kao USA salary= 50% neto. U nemackoj ili u sad vazi sto si bogatiji, imas firme, investiras to placas< % poreza. U nemackoj se zove Abschreibung, u sad deduction. Znaci smanjis oporezavujuci iznos plate, sve do nule. Pa LeBron sa svojim investicijama sigurno ne placa licni porez, njegove firme tu i tamo. Posle 3 sezone u NBA ulazis u penzionerski fond lige, jedan od najbolje otpremljenih. Te penzije su wow u relaciji uplate. Igraci ulaze i ostaju u zdravstvenom fondu lige. Osim toga mogu da ulazu u NBA vodjene investment fond gde se svako ulaganje dodatno subvencira od strane lige. Sledecih 6,7 godina NBA ce duplirate prihode na nekih 18 milijarde € na godisnjem nivou. Tako ce skociti sva primanja iz tih fondova. U evropi ce skociti tvoja hipertenzija ako pokusas dobiti jedan deo tvog novca.

Pa nisu Divac, Radja, Kukoc i Webber na primer jednaki HOFer. Prvi su izabrani od strane internationals commitee, drugi od strane american commitee. Slicno Dalipagicu, Drazenu, Novoselu, Zeravici. Svake godine se bira jedna licnost od strane international commitee. Ne 0, 2 ili 3, svake godine 1. Webber je naravno HOFer, kakvo srozavanje kvaliteta. 22.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocks from 1994 to 2003. The number of players who matched that matrix during that nine-year span? Zero. Remove the steals and blocks, and it’s still zero. Narrow it down to scoring and rebounding, and only two others join the list: Duncan and Shaquille O’Neal. PER, BPM, WS, elitni igrac.

Bagley ako odigra bez povrede pola sezone ima nesto da ponudi, 19-godisnjeg Jokica su hteli 4-5 fransiza odmah, 21-godisnjeg niko ne zeli. Zasto?

Kakve veze imaju Petrusev i status Embiida. Ne postoji NBA type ko misli da Petrusev ima potencijal za pravljenje razlike, u evropi kako da ne, tamo gde igraju odrasli sigurno ne. Pa za njega nije ni Las Vegas, fg 36,8%, 0-3 3pts, PER 11,40, OWS 0,01, DWS 0,09, on je pokazao samo jednu jedinu stvar, lupio 8 banane.

Draymond i Adebayo su bas vrhunski defanzivni centri na ovom nivou, u pick igri ne stvaras visak zato sto ih ne mozes probiti. Da nije Riki poludeo spanci bukvalno ne bi postigli 10 poena u drugom poluvremenu. A kad kruzi lopta kod amera to je daleko najlepsi protok od svih ekipa.

Sam Vecenie@theathletic 58. Filip Petrusev C | Mega | Birthdate: April 16, 2000 (Age: 21) | 6-11 | 235 LBS | Hometown: Belgrade, Serbia Background Father is Dejan. Originally from Serbia and started playing basketball at a very young age. Has a brother, David, who also was a high-level basketball player. Very quickly got involved with the elite youth teams at Red Star in Serbia, then Partizan — two of the biggest clubs in the country. In 2014, he went to Spain to play with Baskonia’s youth team. Eventually ended up in high school in the United States. Played at Avon Old Farms in Connecticut for a season and, while he was there, committed to Hartford. Eventually was recognized as a clear high-level prospect. Transferred to Montverde Academy in Florida in 2017 to play with RJ Barrett. Team was excellent, and Petrusev continued to develop as a recruit. Team won a national championship. Was eventually considered a consensus four-star recruit, and a top-100 player in his class. Decommitted from Hartford and committed to Gonzaga. Had a solid freshman season. Wasn’t elite, but good. Made the All-Freshman team in the WCC while playing behind guys like Brandon Clarke, Rui Hachimura and Killian Tillie. Really came into his own as a sophomore. Won the WCC Player of the Year award. Was a finalist for Center of the Year and was named to a few All-American teams. Declared for the draft following the shortened season but couldn’t get the hype he was looking for and withdrew his name. Instead of returning to Gonzaga, however, he turned pro with Mega in Serbia. Had a monster breakout season. Won the Adriatic League MVP, led the league in scoring and won the top prospect award. He was the best player in the league this past season. Decided to declare for the draft following that impressive run and should be selected following outstanding production as a professional.

Took the time this past year to become a legitimate spacing five man. Knocks down shots from distance with ease and does so out of a variety of situations. Can spot up in the corner and hit with ease, Made nine of his 12 3-point attempts there this past year. Most comfortable though at the top of the key. Really good out of ball screens. Can slip or make contact and take a step back into a shot. Overall jumper looks good mechanically but needs to get better at speeding up his release in order to get it off more consistently against NBA teams. Petrusev also was a tremendous finisher this past year around the basket. Made 69.3 percent of his non-post-ups, showcasing a few different skills. Not a crazy vertical athlete but has really good touch. Can get contact and still finish below the rim. Really did a good job getting to the rim and finishing when attacking a heavy closeout from someone who respects his jumper. Comfortable putting the ball on the deck. Can also hit a little mini floater out of these or short rolls. Really good at finding the little open area to roll into and getting all the way to the rim. Great timing on his rolls. Catches both below and above waist, which allows him to have real diversity in roller settings. Generally, uses his body well, post- roll, to seal guys from the rim. Knows how to use his frame. Petrusev is a very high-level play-finishing center. He has great feel for the game and great feel for how to get a bucket. Good footwork. Weaknesses Not overly long or particularly strong. Will be undersized for the center position in the NBA. Has great balance but doesn’t necessarily have the kind of explosiveness typically needed to make up for that kind of undersized frame. Not a great leaper, and not a great lateral mover. Overall, will be a below-average athlete for the center spot. There are significant worries on defense. Knows his angles and positioning in drop coverage, and his fundamentals for staying vertical and contesting are good, but if a guard is explosive and gets a head of steam, he can go through Petrusev. Also, a large portion of NBA players are going to be able to finish over the top of him due to his lack of tools. On the perimeter, really struggles moving his feet and staying in front. Doesn’t have great lateral agility. Going to struggle if put on an island against a good opposing guard. Not going to be able to stay in front, which means teams are going to have to scramble to make up for him. He is not a great passer right now. He is OK from a standstill and can make some dangerous passes out of the post, but mostly just hitting escape passes. Can sometimes get turnover-prone if he overdribbles and gets doubled, but for the most part has done a good job of being effective in those settings. Generally isn’t making the pass to break down the defense enough. Summary Petrusev has been about as productive as a center can be over the last two years. He was an All-American at Gonzaga, then went overseas and won MVP in an incredibly competitive league. But I can’t quite get there with him largely due to concerns over what his fit is in the NBA. He does not have any chance to get stops on defense in the NBA, and that’s while playing the most important defensive position. The stretch shooting is nice, and it does give him a differentiator, but I’m not sure it’s enough of one to make up for the defensive concerns. Really, he’s just not the type of player I’m looking for to draft into today’s NBA. There’s a chance he can be useful offensively in the league, but more likely than not, Petrusev strikes me as one of the absolute best players in Europe for many years, making millions of dollars while carrying EuroLeague teams. The game just doesn’t totally translate in a way that effects winning right now, given his tools.

Givony slicno kao Chad Ford nema kosarkaski background, zato imaju strasan network NBA scouta i exekutivaca. To sto on pise je kombinovan scouting tih profesionalaca. Holmgren je generacijski talenat, Jovic to sigurno nije.

Givony ko se po obicaju konsultira uvek sa profesionalcima Jovica smestio van lutrije, ukazuje na nedostatke vidljive protiv ozbilnijih atleta. Playing up a year on the competition, Jovic helped Serbia to a fourth-place finish while landing a spot on the all-tournament team after averaging 18.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 blocks per game. You won't find many more versatile players offensively at 6-10, as he demonstrated a high skill level creating shots in the post, pushing the ball in the open court, knocking down 3-pointers effectively, and serving as a consistent presence as a cutter and finisher operating off the ball. With that said, Jovic's limitations were fairly evident as the competition stiffened. He struggled badly defensively, looking like a total liability when on an island trying to contain smaller players with his thin frame and short arms -- and often appeared to be barely trying on that end of the floor. Jovic's perimeter shot creation was more or less shut down by France's and Canada's arrays of long-armed, quick-footed defenders, and his body language was very concerning around teammates and referees. He struggled to handle the pressure of big moments, at times looking very passive and letting his emotions get the best of him on other occasions. It's important to note that Jovic just turned 18 and is a relative newcomer at this level of basketball, as he more or less came out of nowhere in the past year and simply hasn't faced this level of athleticism up until this point in his career. He'll have an outsized role next season playing in the Adriatic League and will have a good chance to continue to build his candidacy as a first-round pick.

Draft ima 3 vrhunska talenta, Cade, Mobley i Green. Cade ima najvisi floor, ali Mobley i Green imaju visi ceiling. Green uz to najspektakularni igrac lige u najavi. Uopste nije sigurno da ce Detroit uzeti Cadea ispred Greena. Deo fo pistonsa favorizuje Greena a Weaver nije sklon grupnom vecinom.
