I thought Bulls had Ömer's NBA rights.

Tiago 100% has the most NBA potential from all the guys you mentioned. He has been ready for years now. He just wanted some time to be the go to big man after scola went to houston.

Next on my list is Preldic. This kid is realy agile for his size.

I dont think Ilyasova will ever return to the nba. Even if he did I dont really like his front court style.

childress doesnt play basketball in europe. he just jumps around the basket with for no reason!!!

The rest arent NBA matterial. They are great euro players. But no NBA for them soon.

Ilyasova already signed contract with Bucks. Other than that, splitter/vasquez seems good to me.

Emir Prezdic- unorthodox playing style, has feel for the game, agile and athletic for a white guy,lacks BB IQ

Omer Asik - Has good frame, shot blocker, solid help defender, good touch around the rim, needs to bulk up

Semih Erden- lacks lots of things but he has passion and desire.. thats all

Wow no love for Pekovic? I like him just after Splitter and Andersen. I dont know Peldic, so after those 2 i put Pekovic

excluding Childress i would say Splitter,Vasquez, Ilyasova, Pekovic and Asik have the best chance to succeed.

Pekovic is in the wolves' plans to bring over next summer.

Better player? Tough decision, right now...maybe Splitter.
More potential: i haven't seen enough of the guys from Fenerbahce, i'll stick with Claver.

Why? Minnesota has 20,000 PFs on their team.

They're better off trading Pekovic to a team in need of a cheap, young big.

What makes you to think that Pekovic has something on his game that reassemble to PF? Pekovic is a pure bruising C, and amazing touch around the basket. Pure low post player

MN has Jefferson--better as a 5, and Love as the post players. Where are the 20,000 pf that are part of our long term plan? Adding Pekovic to the big man rotation will be great.

Sofo deserves to at least be mentioned.

Wrong.

Unfortunately we only saw what Sofo can do for 1 year when coach Kazlauskas was coaching Olympiacos. What a waste...
