Not sure if it is televised( I would think of of the Spanish stations would air it).
Might be interesting to see how he plays against NBA competition.

Looks like Bjelica had a poor game 5 pts on 2-5 shooting

great denomination of the word "poor". Thoght he had decent numbers in all relevant statistical categories. The guy is not a pure scorer.

Judging on box scores is always going to be difficult. Steals look good but 3 ass/rebs is nothing to be proud of.
Also he had the 2nd lowest +/- score of his team.

I may have gone a bit far by saying it looked like a poor game but it looks like he had an average game at best.

I agree - it is hard to tell based on just box score.
What really annoys me is that there are obviously highlights, which means there were cameras there. Why not just show the game? Ugh!

At this point Bjelica is still a bench player for the team. I was trying to figure out the substitution patterns, based on play-by-play coverage.
I would say he did OK. Kind of same role he had for national team this summer - be a glue guy, do a little bit of everything. Scoring will come in time, probably next season when he moves into a starting lineup.

BTW - that's him in the highlights , grabbing that steal and the tossing the ball ahead for an easy bucket.

What i love about him is that he excels as a wing in passing AND dribbling. The guy can grab a rebound too.

If he could get a 3 pt shot down and not be so turnover prone he could be a 10/4/5 type of guy.
