So i made a quick translation of gorans interview. here are his talking points.

he's tired from traveling; flight home: he carried a lot of bags from phx.wen t from phx LA to frankfurt to ljubljana

he's pleased with his last three games

he was fith in assists

said that suns were pleased with him and his play in summer league

he plans to carryover his good last games from summer league to training camp

he's pleased that steve nash signed the extension, he thinks thats good for him, so he can learn from the best. and he thinks he'll have more oportinities this year and he gushes about the way steve nash is playing, always instructing and showing the players the right position on the court. he would like to become like steve nash in that way, to be more vocal.

talks about his poor shooting (he was a little injured) but he recoverd and in the end almost averaged double double

he's has very good relationship with majele and kokoshkov, mostly with majerle. he's very grateful to him for all the help he's been giving to him and also a lot confidence that majerle has in him. they have very good comunication between them. majerle was pleased with him. funny fact.. majerle ancestors were from slovenia. asked is he's planing to visit slovenia. majerle was interesed in slovenia. (i must say, being a little patriotic, that amazing number of good basketball players come from 2 million nation (yes that 2 000 000 ) dragic nachbar nesterovic udrih even vujacic)

sasha vujacic said slovenia will compete for gold (lol) dragic wants just a medal. but he's is not garanteeing anything..

so thats basicly it.

Good. One on one training with Dan Majerle should definitely improve his game. And his confidence.

Hey guys just thought i should let you know that Dragic played a friendly game today for Slovenia against Macedonia.
Slovenia won, Dragic scored 12 points added 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 6/8 shooting, he missed 1 FT in a little less then 16 minutes of play.

Thanks everyone for the updates/translation. I'm pretty optimistic about how Dragic will continue to develop alongside Nash this season.

I think he'll do pretty well. Average 12 & 5 in about 16 minutes. If he does more, then I'll be thrilled!

^ TAD unrealistic...find me ANYONE in the NBA who averaged 12pts in 16mins (or the equivalent of 3pts very 4mins) OR averaged 5 assists in 16mins

I'll stay with 7pts 3.5reb 3asst...

realsunsfan · Post #16 » by **realsunsfan** » Mon Aug 3, 2009 4:54 pm

Yeah I would have to agree with TASTIC on those numbers......

Post #17 » by **rsavaj** » Mon Aug 3, 2009 5:08 pm

If he can give us 7 and 3 I'll be happy.

Slovena's websites state that Dragic is injured and will not be playing today for Slovenia vs. Macedonia game.

Does it say what type of injury?

tassador · Post #20 » by **tassador** » Mon Aug 3, 2009 7:09 pm

Smth with thigh muscle.. I think it's nothing serious because he sits by the court (he's not on the bench) and seems to be walking normally.
