I keep telling you beating me in these predictions is not exactly something to be proud of

Budućnost signed Doron Lamb. If he'll be 100% in the game mental wise, he could eventualy evolve into one of the better players in europe imo. Great signing.

Also, Pavicevic replaced Jovovic on the bench..

By the way, what is going on with Wright"?
he isnt injured, but he doesnt play.. he is going from Olimpija or what?

He was injured, could play yesterday with a block, however the coach decided to give him a rest for one more game as he hasn't practiced for a while now. Olimpija got offers from Avelino and one Turkish club for him and as ussual the media is creating a panic, however the buyout was too low to let him go. Considering this team is one athletic PF/C away from playing significantly better and Rupnik + Mesiček can hold their own on PG as seen in the last 2-3 games, It's not out of the question he wouldn't leave after Olimpija finishes with eurocup.


Oak Hill is the no.1 bball academy out there! I've noticed Lamb in the summer league with Orlando about 2 years ago, together with Afflalo, Harris, O'Quinn and he looked decent there, had some incredible sparks as far as I remember and those weren't all about his shooting either and I figured he could make a decent backup SG if given a chance. Looking at his carer path I'd say that probably some injury had to get in between, while needless to say the competition at SG's is incredibly tough in the NBA, it's hard to really fulfill potential while sitting on the NBA bench.
Budućnost imo did a good move there as they could use some of his shooting.

Good signing for best kindergarden in Europe! Igor Obradovic made some mistakes, Vita not playing in Georgian league, only in VTB league in this season.

Tajfun is 7/7, they're hosting Cibona in the next round and visiting their regular customer in Krka the one after. Now that they are out of the fiba cup they'll have more time to prepare for each game, am interested to see if that's a noticable effect or not.
