Does Bjelica belong in the NBA?

[KiwiMatt]

There is no doubt euro rookies get horribly picked on by the officials. Bjelica can't even drive to the hoop without getting called for a travel.

His stats are suffering because of the offensive systems or lack of.

YES

Wait a second....just last week he was a close comparison to Ryan Anderson, but on a cheaper contract. What happened to that?

I said in another thread that Sam needs to put the ball in his hands earlier in the shotclock, specifically on PnR. Having him spot up all the time is a waste of his abilities. This is a case of poor utilization above all else.

Yes...I view him as a great piece to eventually replace KG as the starting PF. Playing alongside Wiggins, Towns and (presumably) LaVine, there will not be a lot of shots to go around and he is pretty unselfish. I think he also can be a nice stretch 4 element when Ricky/Zach/Wiggy drive and look to kick. His rebounding and athleticism have exceeded my expectations. We know there is always a learning curve for Euros, but he has been a pleasant addition.

I think I provided a great summary to this earlier and don't think this is anything else to add. Can we just move on already?

[Monster]

He has struggled but he has too deverse of a skillet and length and fluidity to just disappear. He will figure it out enough to be useful.

This thread is stupid. Belly belongs in the NBA as much as Bazz does.

We're playing Denver again tonight? Stupid schedule.

If you ignore offensive stats you're totally right.
