Cavs fan here. Was just trying to get a feel for what fans of another team who have had the pleasure or non pleasure (depending on how you view it) of having the chance to see Sasha Pavlovic play for their squad..

Please.. Your thoughts ?

Well, I will admit I've only seen him for limited amounts of time but he's horrible. The only time he should ever see is garbage time, even on this Wolves squad.

please take him back. at this point I'd actually prefer McCants over him and that says a lot.

He's been very disappointing. Considering our collectively low expectations, that says a lot. There's no way he'll be back next year.

:o Wow. That bad huh ? I had no idea... What is it exactly about his game do you guys find unappealing, frustrating and/or disappointed about ?

BTW, has he tried to dribble the ball behind his back yet ?

He's shooting .364 from the field, .279 from the 3pt, .375 from the free throw line, often taking shots that aren't in the flow of the offense. What's not to like?

And his supposed "good defense?" Not that impressive. He's terrible. They better keep him buried on the bench and keep giving Ellington his minutes.

Well, I must say I am floored by what appears to be such disdain for Sasha. I had no idea..

I always found it odd that the calling card of most of the european swingmen is shooting the ball. Yet, Sasha was never that much of one.

Have the Wolves community been introduced to his father DUSAN yet ?

Trasha has the mentality of a superstar, but the ability of a D-Leaguer. He thinks it's his job to chuck up contested shots outside the flow of the offense, but obviously can't make them. He forces things too much. Tries to take over the game, without the ability to do so.

its kind of sad too, especially when until recently with a couple of wins, we were having a problem with putting 5 guys out there who could be expected to try at all. so for him to ride the bench is a big shame on him i'd say.

I'd heard many Cavs fans tout the guy's talent, so I was optimistic when we signed him. We could certainly have used a guy with an outside shot that can play defense, and unlike the Cavs, we had plenty of minutes to offer him. However, I think he's been a pretty big failure.

Now, I don't blame Kahn here. He grabbed a lot of pieces from other teams that appeared to have potential but needed minutes, and there's no way that every single one would work. For example, you can invest in ten identical stocks, and find that seven of them did well, and three of them tanked, but never be able to have known which were which when they were bought. My point is that you place your bets on players with promise, and hope to get a reasonable chance that they will succeed, without expecting every prospect to succeed. At least this is the one on a 1-year deal.

If I could I would immidiately waive him.

he is basically a poorman's McCant with Ben-Wallace-like Free throw shooting ability.

Seriously, you think Ramon Sessions sucks at FT with his 56% shooting? at least he can make 1 of two, Sasha can't make any

If I was the other team's coach, whenever Sasha is on the court, just go over the foul limit and keep fouling sasha off the ball, I'm sure you can get a lot of possessions back without losing any points

I would rather have a bench full of Marko Jarics than one Sasha Pavlovic.

He sucks. I think he's had one good game this season where he made shots.

LOL! That succinctly demonstrates our depth of passion on the Sasha issue.

Well said, funkatron!
