PG Stefan Markovic announced he was done with international competition. He was a major contributor for team Serbia in recent years. He will be hard to replace.

Nedovic becomes questionable for Serbian squad, shoulder injury seems to be more serious than initially thought. Situation we'll become more clear in next 10 days.
 
I think Micic is by far the worst player i have seen playing this game, the guy should have gone to college
 
Yep, he is tragic. Problem is that Jovic is not much better than him...

Let's be honest, this is serbian B team. And Nedovic also will be probably out.. Only Marjanovic and Bogdanovic are real stars. Boban looks like Hakeem in FIBA bball, but I don't think it will be enough for medal.
 
Well, Jovic should be better than him for sure, but I cannot but wonder why Djordjevic didn't force Jovic more being that essentially he is now no. 1 option at PG. Seems like Bogdan played more at pg.
 
I watched the game yesterday,Micic is an unprecedented disaster.How did this guy get a euroleague contract.Misko is the answer i guess but damn he is so bad.

The problem is that Jovic is injury prone and we were playing 3 games in 3 days. So Jovic was spared the last game and didn't play and the game before he was on minute restrictions. Jovic will be fine when Eurobasket starts, and his defense will be a huge asset as well. As for No. 2 PG, it will be a huge issue.

I really dread going to Eurobasket with 1 pure PG, but now there is a chance that will happen. If Nedovic is good to go, we might cut Micic and than play Jovic 25 minutes, the other 15 will be done by Nedovic/Bogdan/Guduric as the main ballhandler/creator.

Bogdan will probably have a lot of playmaking duties anyway, so any PG that can carry the ball to opponents' half will do :D
 
As for Zalgiris fan, it's good to read such nice reviews about Micic. I thought the main issue with him might be stayin' healhy, now I guess playin' bball is more worryin' one

He is doing much worse then expected. It's not that he is that bad (he is much better than he is showing) but time and time again when there is a lot of pressure he seems to shrink and play bad. His best two seasons were in Mega in Serbia and Tofas in Turkey, where there was ZERO pressure in terms of results and he had a lot of freedom to just go out and play. Unfortunately top level basketball is not like that and Zalgiris and their fanbase will be another pressure for him.

He needs to click mentally and then his game will be much better. In terms of a skillset, he is not nearly as bad as he is showing...
 
I like this team a lot for many reasons. I will mention just a few of them.

1. It shows how deep and talented national pool we have.

2. Unlike past years, we are going to play different basketball, grit & grind kind of basketball which amuses me very much. It pleases me to know that we have players capable to play any kind of basketball, which allows us to adjust to these awkward circumstances when we are missing tons of players and still remain a tough nut to break.

3. Those guys are going to jump on their heads for each other. I’m expecting to see a true warrior basketball, not pretty for eye, but practical and purposeful. It’s not like we have a choice, we have to embrace it to its core. Bogdan will need help and I’m sure his teammates will do everything to make his life easier.

I don’t know where this team will take us, but I know they will remind us how great basketball culture we have and how bright our future is. Togetherness is our biggest strength, again. We are aiming high no matter what.
 
Since 1995, until today we have 11 medals - 5 gold and silver and one bronze. It's a medal every two years on average. No one has such a continuity.

zagorac is more of a small forward, its funny that Grizzlies traded their future first round pick in exchange for Rade Zagorac and Deyonta Davis, so far both showed nothing, in Summer league Rade couldnt shoot, couldnt deffend, was physically inferior to players at his position, but i think he is better than Simonovic and Kalinic
i Also think Milutinov will be one of the best centers in Europe this season
