Bogut bouth parents imigrated from Croatia, So tehnicley bargnani is firs euro drafet 1st, but tehnicley first ever euro selected first is guy with Croatian origins
Seriusley- if Kukoč, Sabonis, Petrović, Radja or even Nowitzki are now 18-19 year old kids they would be drafted much higher then they were. Anway, what position he will be drafted doesn't realy matter as long as he becomes player what he can become
Is Šarić hyped? Yes. Same as Rubio, James, or Kwame Brown was. Croatia, Spain or USA--evryone hypes their potential stars. Time will tell will he ever reach hype. So far he is standing still and he is geting hype in Croatia since he was 11year old kid., now slowley his hype becomes more and more global. Last year his family refused 3milion euros ofer from Caja Labaral. In 2007. his first coach in Dražen Petrović basketball academey Branko Klisović on one TV show said he called Dražen's mother and said they have kid who will be better then her son. Now you can get idea how high he has been hyped. Is that good? No, but so far he is handling presure very good.
Does he have elite atleticisam? No. But he is surley nicley athletic kid for 6'9 still developing kid. Very close to Nowitzki, Hedo type atlheticisam. What did you expect to find videos of him as 15 and 16 year old? Jordan in prime

First for sample this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBpAw-BMJxYWould you assume this kid is better then him because he looks better in video? Karlo Lebo is his teammate from same team that beated Lithuania and isn't nearly good as him. He wouldn't be even in starting 5 if Mario Hezonja were not injured. 2nd his game is more then athleticisam. His game is toghnes, character, skills and above all, things that only few players in past could match like Magic, Bird, Kukoč, Čosić or Bodiroga, briliant moves that nobady can't teach you. Scouts, expert and others not only in Croatia who have seen him polay don't call him without reason best prospect in years, some even go far and caliing him best talent ever. His uniqe talent is unquestionable, but for sure he is still a kid and lot's of things can change. He still needs tons of work and to develope. Will he ever reach hype only time will tell.
"Falit će mi epiteta za ovog momka, gospodina magistra profesora doktora košarke Šarića."
I will miss titles for this kid, Mister, Master, Profesor, Doctor of basketball Šarić

And this guy during former Yugoslavia for sure had chance to see lot of great players in their youth like Kukoč, Petrović, Radja, Divac, Bodiroga etc. Now you can get idea in what speciall way this kid playe, that his game is not just athleticisam or just pure skills. It's also combing all "tools" he has with briliant understanding and seeing game that only reare players ever did. His game isn't "flashy" like Rodriguez or Williams, his game is artistic like Kukoč or Magic was
