Perrin was on 1280 The Zone this morning talking about the draft. He mentioned their drafting strategy (character plays of big part of course), best player available, yadda, yadda, yadda.

However, he talked about Ante Tomić and Tadija Dragićević (pronounce exactly as it looks). Tomić, he said, had put some weight onto his 7' 2" frame and is shaping up to be one of the better European players. He still has a year left on his current deal so the earliest the Jazz could bring him over would be for next season. He thinks though that he might get a big enough offer from a club over there to keep him there.

The bigger news though was that Dragićević is going to be playing for the summer league team this year. He's not going to be around for the fall, but it was surprising to say the least to me. I didn't think there was any way either of them would end up here. They still might not ever play in a Jazz uniform, but this is still closer than I thought they would get. They are 23 and 24 respectively, so I would think they would have to come over in the next year or so.
