Nemanja Bjelica

[sisibilio]

Bjelica is a PF though, right?

He's played in either F position but i don't think he's quick-fluid enough to play extended minutes at the 3 in the NBA.

lets not be over analytical here - he can play or he cant - we need bodies

Next season? i don't think so, he's not mature enough. Actually this guy would probably be a better choice.

Hasn't improved noticeably in 3-4 years. Still lacks confidence, still plays soft, still overrates his own three point ability and still hasn't improved his handles. Average lateral quickness at best.
He does have good vision and playmaking while his feet are set or while he's getting a hand-off and there's generally lots of movement. Anything more than two dribbles and it's likely a risky situation for him and his team.
He has no post-game whatsoever.

Might have improved feel for rebounding and that's about it. Mentally weak, shy, and his body-language follows his character up perfectly.
Maybe a new setting (and a new game - NBA) where he isn't under the constant eye of a drill-sergeant would change things, but i doubt it.

I think i have to agree with you, i was not impressed first time i saw him play vs our NT(even though he was most impressive of all serbian players out there), and after few games i seen, all i can say he is fine player and for him it would be best to stay in Spain.Best case scenario: he can be AK47 with less hustle and almost no defense but with better scoring ability.

If wolves decide to look for young backup C/PF which can shoot 3s nearly 50% check out this guy http://www.acb.com/jugador.php?id=217.He had good games vs Real and Barca and recently set career high.His post moves are Pek-like and he is also good perimeter shooter unlike Pek.He developed nicely in Valencia and growing into one of the best PFs in Europe.

Now
Couldn't agree more, his name (among other montenegrins) already poped out recently.

Can Bjelica come over this season?

Also had 15 pts (7/8 fgs) and 7rbs. He's playing well and I really hope he comes over next season as it would be the best move for his development.

If he can play SF like AK than it's good for his development. But if he's strictly a 4 than i don't see many minutes for him especially if Love is not traded.

Yeah, if Bjelica doesn't sign this summer he never will sign.

BTW,

- Robbie Hummel is playing better day by day. He has the same heigh than Cunningahm, two year younger. He is playing with only a big man but sometimes he plays at 3 depending on the other team. He runs as if he had a potatoes sack hanging of his ass, but he is more agile than he looks and his layups are good. Let see what he does in the future. Yesterday 23 min, 15 pts, 2 rebs. (season 18 min, 8 pts, 3 rebs. He lost the first 6 games due a knee injury). His team is the nineth ( of 18) of the ACB league and he usually is between 3 best players at the last games.

- Henk Norel is playing well too. Yesterday 16 min, 14 pts, 6 rebs. (Season 25 min, 12 pts, 6 rebs). His team is the seventh of the ACB league and he is his best player.

Would rather keep derrick williams.

Dont need another stretch 4.

[Dewey]

people keep saying he's soft and not a gamer.

[Klomp]

I wouldn't mind having him here, but we already have Love, Williams, and Cunningham.

[Worm Guts]

We should be shopping Williams in the offseason. If we're able to find an acceptable trade, there's room for Bjelica.

[PZiv]

Bjelica is player who could inherit Toni Kukoc.
He can play (in EU atleast) on PG to PF.
You forget that he is Adelman type of player, big man with ball handling.

[Klomp]

How does BJ compare to someone like Ersan Ilyasova?
