What can you tell about Sasha Pavlovic? What is his good side and what is his bad side?

Streak shooter, decent defender when he tries. Decent first step, but a poor ball handler. Inconsistent. Frustrating. Headcase.

Sasha has all the talent in the world, but that just goes to fuel the frustration you'll feel when you watch him play. He can be the biggest bonehead and will steal defeat from the jaws of victory on many occasions.

seemingly lacks heart

"My offense is my defense."

One of the lowest BBall IQ's I've seen. I can't remember the exact situation but he got called for 5 seconds TWICE in the final minutes of a close playoff game a few years ago. Granted, I put the second one on Mike Brown for putting Sasha on the inbound after he got called the first time.

poor finisher at the rim as well.

had a fairly decent rookie year and then was exposed in the Bobcats expansion draft. They traded him for a 1st (he was 20 at the time) and chose to run with Steve Smith, Kareem Rush, Keith Bogans, and Eddie House (For like 13 games, but still). Couldn't secure the "Ron Harper To Lebrons' MJ" role despite no real competition. Was traded with Ben Wallace to Phoenix for Shaq. Ben and him were bought out immeadiately. Landed in Minnesota with no real competition at SG. Had the worst season of a pretty bad career. NEVER started in 71 games.
Was convinced the year with Minnesota would be the end of his NBA career. Mavs gave him a shot, and he actually put up decent numbers in 10 games. But they had no need for him after that. New Orleans gave him a run, but SGs that go 2-11 in 4 games don't hang on to long.
I think its funny that NBA.com still has him a Cavs uniform.
