I watched the final game today...he's a 3 point shooter strictly. However, he made some nice hustle plays and had some really nice passes that resulted in scores. He hit a big 3 in the fourth quarter and has a really quick release. He is a true team player. He has to work on his defense if he ever wants to have a successful college career. He was taken off the dribble numerous times by his opponent...and I mean BADLY. He reminded me a lot of (and I'm not joking) Ryan Bowen. I don't think he has an NBA future...or at least not a good one. Nothing in his game screams NBA ready. He played well today though and his team won the championship. He's a 6'3 175lbs senior.

Thanks for the info NUF63.

Like Uncle like nephew? Too bad that isnt the case, Drazen was the sheeeeet.

It´s so hard to be related to superstars like that, it can sometimes be a mental block, and they usually never come close to their superstar family member.

Two photos from Memory Lane. The first is Andrew Bogut with Drazen's mother Biserka and the other is on the gravesite.

Petrovic was, is, my favorite player of all-time.

If his nephew has half the work ethic Drazen did, he has a good shot.

It's cool to see Bogut paying homage to the late, great hero.
