It's not Euroleague. It's the European Championship of national teams - like the Olympics, but just Europe.

I really hope he steps up, if he's able to put in good performances and lead them team (as he is expected), he will easily carry that confidence over to NBA, provided he will be given any playing time. Basically Goran's rise in NBA started in 2011/12 season, which "took off" with him participating in Eurobasket in Lithuania, where he was given the role of leader for the 1st time and lead the team with 12 points 3 ass 3,5 reb and 1,5stl in 24mins per game (bout 18/5/6/2 per 36, which is rather decent) and then later that season he was given opportunity as starting PG for Houston. We all know how that ended..
So I'm really really hoping the same/similar thing to happen for Zoran Dragic. But even then I still doubt he'd get (m)any minutes on such stacked Heat backcourt.. we shall see

That's a good move. Best not to let the rookie burn himself out before even hitting the wall.

I dont agree at all. Something is wrong when 20year old cant play for his country.
