Rank the new European signings

[Beard]

I think Singler will become a serviceable rotation player.

Jonas Valanciunas
Alexey Shved
Mirza Teletović
Joel Freeland
Donatas Motiejūnas
Pablo Prigioni
Victor Claver
Kyle Singler
Nando de Colo
Chris Copeland

I don't think Mirza is a good fit with Lopez. He would be better with Dwight. He'll be a good shooting option when opponent's focus on the JJ, Deron and Wallace but this could be better with Dwight. In defense and rebounding will be a problem for Nets with him and Lopez next to each other. That is why I have Shved above him. Shved is a need for Wolves and I can see him devoloping chemistry with Rubio both on and off court.

Freeland is big and can rebound for Blazers. He is experienced and this is always a nice thing when you have a rookie at that position. I know Freeland is a rookie too but he'll be 26 next season an competed in Olympics and Euroleague. Once he gets used to tempo and other stuff he'll be fine.

He can be decent starter or good 2nd center. Motiejunas had a good season in Euroleague but his position is crowded in Houston. Not sure about rookie season but he is a nice piece to move forward.

With Kidd and Lin Prigioni's playing time might be limited. Good leader and passer, can shoot and steal the ball, has high IQ and experience. I like him in Europe a lot. Hope he can be successful.

I haven't seen enough other three. De Colo's ast/to is less than 1 and can't shoot well but he is going to play for Spurs. That organization might benefit from him and develop him. Having French guys and other played in Europe over there will be nice for him. If it was an other team I'd say he'll return here after couple of years.

I haven't heard of Copeland.

I can tell you about Victor Claver. I've seen him play a lot.
Good: He's a young, tall and athletic player. Nice size for a sf, can also play some pf. He once won the spanish slam dunk contest. You see him running the floor and it looks like he doesnt' even touch it.
Excellent all around skills, can shoot treys and good ft shooter.
Excellent defensive and team play, nice Bball IQ.

Bad: He was supposed to be the next big thing after Pau Gasol. It's been a while and he doesn't seem to go anywhere. Very shy person, lacks of personality, no guts. Lacks of charisma. Does not want to shoot the ball.

Big question, he could be a steal, NbA seems to fit his physique and skill set but can he change his mindset.
I don't think so

I view Val as the best signing.. Teletovic as the second best while the rest is meh.. would be surprised if any other really cracked the rotation.

Freeland, Claver and Shved are definitely going to crack the rotation, the other guys depedns on the final shape of their teams.
De Colo should play quite a bit also, but with Popovich who knows.

Jonas Valanciunas
Mirza Teletović
Joel Freeland
Alexey Shved
Donatas Motiejūnas
Pablo Prigioni
Kyle Singler
Nando de Colo
Victor Claver
Chris Copeland

Jonas Valanciunas will be great, imo.

Alexey Shved, Kyle Singler, Nando de Colo and Joel Freeland will play a significant role for their teams.

Mirza Teletović is good but has some question marks.

Pablo Prigioni will contribute but I am not sure if he is going to be able to hold his own on D.

Victor Claver is still a project but he could grow into a solid NBA player.

I don't like Donatas Motiejūnas. He is inconsistent and despite being a 7 footer he prefers to live on the perimeter. He also has horrible FT numbers for a shooter. He is certainly talented but he needs a lot of work.

I don't know anything about Chris Copeland.

Ricky Rubio & Alexey Shved as your 1 & 2? That would be fun to watch. Excited to see it.
