[Rasho Brezec]

Kosta is Serbian.

[Cro_Ruption]

damn if you look at it... croatia doesnt really have a good basketball talent but phenominal soccer talent. petrovic was a one in a billion talent and hopefully one day someone from croatia will be just like him, even half as good as him and were in good shape

[Rasho Brezec]

Croatia has plenty of basketball talent.

Damjan has atletic and tehnical abilitys to be strater in NBA but I rely dubt he will ever make it even as bench player. He just dosen't know how to use his abilitys and will never know. He just dosen't have mind that pushes him to be better than others. To kind personality. It is realy a shame because given his combination os size, atleticisam, tehniq, shoting touch and body he is one of the most gifted croats of all time.

I am a real fan of this player, I was so exciting when I heard that he will participate to the NBA Summer League !!!!

Rudez is so disappointing. All the tools and skills, but just doesn't have the mental toughness. All he does is stand around the perimeter and take long 2pters.

do you know will he stay in olipija?

[Rasho Brezec]

Only if he's willing to take a paycut, but I don't think he'll stay. I'd like to see him at least one more year, but I don't think the coach likes him very much.
