Who will be the best promising player of Eurobasket 2011

[iskoch]

turks and liths are boring with this kanter-jonas fight, after šarić and hezonja come to scene like anybody will care for those two guys

Yeah, you are right but still a bit funny.
We didn't see anything yet, let's wait until the end of tournament...

[brsgrlr]

its bogdanovic or kanter
no way jonas

[pivx]

its bogdanovic or kanter
no way jonas

well there were only 2 games now. 9 games to go I would say kanter before bogdanovič because croatia nt seems to be falling apart.

Zoran Dragič cant be in no way the best promising player but he can get pretty close. He is probably one of the best defensive player of eurobasket, but he has to improve his shooting. Thats way he didn't entered the nba draft this year. He will improve a little more in KK Krka this year and next year will see

[Perseus]

for Greeks is Mike Bramos !

[Overthetop]

Bogdanovic, a little bit biased

[iznogud]

He does not look like a born to be leader.
He gets his stats in all quiet way.
Where his brother seems to get his way any time he wants to,and more importantly,team needs to
And that is big difference

goran dragic does not play like a true leader and sadly (i'm a big fan of goran dragic) i don't think he ever will. he has the mentality of a back up pg and takes bad decision. zoran, however, has a mentality of a decision-maker and he's only a solid jumpshot away from a great player. and let's not forget goran was never a good shooter either, so there's place for improvement.

[pohani komarac]

Salin 9+7+4

Olimpija made great pick with him

[turk-jugoslav]

Salin always try 3 point shots.He has to penetrate for his game

[Joško Poljak Fan]

Salin 9+7+4

Olimpija made great pick with him

Might be a lucky pick only
Salin got pretty much benched in the other half of the season, due to Samo Udrih... and as for now Filipovski wants to sign an additional SG that would kick Salin of the 12 man roster and on a loan to some club (of course no adriatic league team will accept him, so he'd be destined for playing in some low level league )

Salin can play decent defense (won't represent a major liability) and shot the lights out from range in offense... while Filipovski considers Blažič and Salin being only true SG's in the team too much of an liability. I hope Olimpija won't be signing another SG even for the cost of a win or two and will provide minutes to Bertrans, Murič, Salin and Blažič that could honestly pay back tremendously in 12/13 season.
