European Club Competitions 2024/25 - Signing & Rumors

[Edgar]

If I could chose a C from Europe, that would be Serge Ibaka. We would not lose anything but also gain a reliable 3p shot from our centre to open up the paint for Nunn to slash into. I don't know his contract status but I've sure he'd prefer to play for a winning team which aspire to win all titles and a home court that is like heaven and hell.

I would also like this but he is 35, he has been injured for some part this year...I mean if you bet on him then you must have huge faith in his health.

That would make loads of sense. Ibaka would fit perfectly as a backup center for PAO. If it doesnt work I have another solution David McCormack. He is still a bit raw but still the best center of the Turkish BSL. He will be one of the best centers in EL very soon.

Bro, what's going on with you and McCormack? You sound like his agent

I like talented players, I suppose thats all.

IMO Vernon Carey who plays for Karsiyaka is more talented then McCormack, but both of them will be legit EL players if they reach their potential.

You are actually bigger clown than I thought when you concluded all these things about me without even knowing single fact. Most of the people I was hanging when I moved in Greece were foreigners since I attended International high school in Athens. And later I started to hang out with Greek guys and had Greek girlfriends and literally no one gave a damn about Turkey. They spoke 10 times more about Albania than about Turkey. I love Ataman, I was writing at the beggining of the summer that I wanted him instead Laso. I also like Mitoglou, I just don't like his slow feets. Fotsis is may favourite player and he is of Turkish origin...the only thing I hate about Turkey is 2008 and Semih Senturk. But you are just clown who thinks if someone doesn't speak all the best about something(in this case basketball) about Turkey then that person must be hater! You can write me about Bochordis-Wolters combo and I would enjoy it! You are maybe older but you seriously needs to grow up.
So,
1. Whatever, I am hater
2. I can bet in whatever you want that I have better education than you!
3. Hiden nationalist? Towards who? I am mixed and you said I hate only Turkey and Arabs and I just explained you I don't care about you
4. Liar? About what?
5. Shut up for once <3

hahaha at last i showed your true nature. I knew that from the start

Of course you are just clown and LIAR, anything what you wrote isn't true

1. Yes
2.. No. you are far away from me dude, you are loser who probably lives on parents budget
3. I never said you are Greek nationalist, you are something much more dangerous(more about that in future posts)
4. You are the biggest LIAR on this forum I ever saw, I don't have time for numbering all those lies. There are posts , search, I won't do the job for you
5. hahaha, you came here yesterday and you will need some time to grow dude, you had opportunity to shut up and to behave like true fan but you didn;t. You could support your team like fans do, but you chose to be a hater

Both players seem to have a big upside but I'm not sure if Pao is looking for an up and coming player. I think they will look for an established player.

Yes, probably Pao will sign some established player, it is to risky for them to try with this centers because question is will this players going to adapt on EL level. There was some cases when talented players lost themself in EL and cases when them not even needed adataption time (Like Wright this season).

Reportedly Zvezda signed Uros Plavsic who had amazing season with Mega and it is big question if he gonna prove himself on EL level. I am happy with this signing because he is domestic player and imo he can be solid role player but lets see.

Carey is talented but his game is not as versatile as McCormacks and what I dont like about Carey is he picks games and sometimes he is not even on the floor with his soul.

Plavsic is an aperitive, the main dish is Djurisic if he doesn't go to NBA next season.

He is already better than all of Nedovic, Giedraitis and Lazic.

Are you sure about this? I haven't seen him much, he's filled his body really impressively and can bully other SGs but I don't see the charismatic scoring that Nedovic has.

I can't say I'm 100% sure before I see Djurisic at Euroleague level, but he is way more complete player than Nedovic. Especially if we talk about their ceiling. Even right now, I think Djurisic can put more stress on defense because, unlike Nedovic, he can finish strong at the rim and through contact consistently. He is a lot stronger, bigger than Nedovic and has great a first step (like Nedoivc), Also, he is better passer and read the game better than Nedovic. If he continues to improve outside shooting in the off-season, it's a no-brainer.

I like Nedovic, especially his potential at earlier age, but to me throughout his entire career he always displayed flashes of brilliant scoring ability that was actually never realized in full potential and more than anything else - in consistency. Lack of decision making was always problematic. However, the talent alone was enough for him to make a respectable career.

Ok, thanks for the insight. I'll keep an eye out.

Comparing Djurisic and Nedovic is so unrealistic, saying that Djurisic is better then Nedovic is even more unrealistic.
I also think that he has really big potential and i hope he will reach it, he probably will be drafted but question is if he is going to stay in Europe. In that case i would love to see him in Zvezda, but not at main options in EL, in EL 10-15 minutes and in ABA league high playing time and a lot of freedom.

I didn't want to comment CZ issues but Nedovic talent is incomparable with most of the EL players(it's known my opinion about him), kid is talented I watched him, but it's long way to go. Nedovic is level above

[Serbian_Layup]

I'm telling you, the only thing that separates Nedovic from Djurisic is experience. Djurisic has a superior skill set. Instead of playing Nedovic, Lazic, Giedraitis 20+ minutes, they can easily distribute a good amount of those minutes to Djurisic, on a lot cheaper contract, which they can use to invest on some other roster spots next season. And they certainly won't be worse than 16th place.

It's easy to like Nedovic's style of play, but he never learned to play winning basketball. It sounds like I'm dissing on him, which I'm not, I actually like him, but in my opinion Nedovic will always be a talent who never fully realized his potential. Or maybe this is who he is. Still good basketball player, but not as good as people give him credit for. He is funny to watch, but not necesarilly contributing to winning basketball.
