Spanish Euroleague club TAU with a €3 million euros net income contract (equal to an $8.4 million NBA contract) to the 15 year old Croatian player Darijo Saric. Saric is 6-8, athletic, and he can play all 5 positions on the court. He is supposedly projected by the Croatian basketball program to be better than Drazen Petrovich and Toni Kukoc.

I think it's hilarious how Jeremy Tyler and Brandon Jennings thought they got paid.


You are the new NBA hater of this board aren't you? Where is your thread about how the nba will be a second rate league by next summer?


So do I just put you on ignore or what?

Croatian media predict the next Drazan and Kukoc in every generation that plays lol.

Any croat can tell you that.


I've never ever heard them say "better than Kukoc or Drazen", that's a new one.



Oh yeah they said it about Ukic they said it about Banic, Tomas, Zbcic etc. just ask any croat any new generation that comes along has the next Petrovic or Kukoc depending on which position he plays, oddly enough they never predict the next Radja.

None of them were called "better than" in reference to Kukoc or Petrovic.

Saric got nothing, for now. A local news outlet says that Tau might be willing to spend 3 million euros over eight seasons, buyout included, on the kid, and that the clubs are negotiating. Nothing has been signed. So let's keep the hoopla down...

Ricky Rubio was playing in the ACB league at age 14, by the way.

Hi guys I'm from Croatia!

Alyosha tells the truth. Since I was a kid evrey now and then some new Kukoc, Drazen, Kreso...turns up. There was Rimac, Sesar (actaly guy had great talent, but also he was big headcase), Vujcic, Poljak...then there were Ukic, Tomas, Radic...some of this guys made nice carers but none of them didn't even came close to the legends like Petrovic, Kukoc, Cosic, Radja...I used to be excited about so caled future superstars, now I don't care until I se some senior suces

Anway some things about Dario

First he still didn't sing anything, he has a offer about 3 million euros for 8 years and this contract also includes buyout to Drazen Petrovic basketball academy. His father Predrag (ex Drazen Petrovic teammate) and mother Veselinka who also played basketball profesionaly will go on trip to Vitoria to se conditions they are ofering. It si also important to knaw that Predrag Saric and Tau coach Dusko Ivanovic are personal friends from playing days. Also CSK, Cibona, Split, Real and Zadar are itrested. By Predrag only Croatian clubs where Dario could go is Cibona and Zagreb but non of them can't pay him 3 million euros. This has bean known for two years in Croatia and Tau and Real consitentley oferd Dario's parents money and job's in Spain. And he is not onley one. Over last few years som Spin clubs set their scouts all over Dinaric alps looking for tall kids talented for basketball (Dinaric alps is region where by man's averahe hight lives tallest people in world and extends over big part of ex Yugoslavian countries). so far in Spain plays few kids that were take from this region similary like Dario. Nikola Mirotic (PF 6'11 91.), Bojan Bogdanovic (SF 6'8 89.), Nihad Djedovic (SG 6'6 90.), Ante Bubalo (PF 6'9 91.), Dusan Bogdanovic (PF 6'9 93.) are just some of the names. There are now few other kid's who have "under the table" ofers from Spain clubs. Over all for me it is stupid to give this kind of money for kid because in this years you can't tell how good somebody will be, you can only see the ones who will fail

His game...202 (about 6'7 1/2) born 94. so likley he will grove some more. great ball handler, speed and vision for his size and age. can shoot of the drible or with his feet set. Shows maturity for his age, good leadership and toghnes. So far he plays all 5 positions on court, will he be able transfere that to senior level only time will tell. Can play nervos and easy to provokate on court. So far he was dominated in evry tournamet that he played and that was usaly over older cometition, and quite strong. One thig that I like is that he consistantly watching tapes of Mgic and that is very strange for kid who was born latter than his role model stoped playing. He defintley can learn more from (fundamentaly and tacticly) this games, than nowdays

Anway some media comparisons. Media compares him with Kukoc, Drazen etc but nobady say's he will be better or what ever. But one who told that he will be better then Drazen was president of DP basketball acaemy who took Drazen's mother Biserka two yers ago and show her Dario and said that he will be better than Drazen. That is written in media so I guess you miss understund what it says. Aco Petrovic (Drazen's brother and also gret player) and Biserka were the one who started project of DP basketball academy. But American juornalist are the same. I still remeber that new American "Pele" :roll: can't remmebr his name :D
