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.

Wow, that's an insane contract for a 15 year old. Move over Ricky Rubio.

Never heard of him untill now. His parents said TAU is first option (and very likeable destionation) in spite of an offer Real Madrid already sent. Most important for them is TAU's developing program with young players and Duško Ivanović's given word to help him and give a chance after season or two.
Contract is for 8 years, 3 mil € (buyout to his current team KK Šibenka included), so it will be something less than 3 mil €.
8 years...hehe, it's commnon in TAU organisation.:D 8-)

It seems that Tau will change a lot of players. Rako has sign for the next 3 years with Efes Pilsen today, Mickael has an offert of Barcelona and Prigioni said that he wanted leave the team in search of others challenges.
Some peoples think that many players have problems with Dusko. Oberto and Tomasevic left Vitoria for that reason.

Is this guy going to get hyped up when he comes over to the NBA?
