LOL, those highlights look to defy some of my criticisms of the other 2 games. The counting stats and number of highlights speak to the likelihood we were looking at longer stretches of effort. He had a chase down block in the last game too (called for goaltend), but I felt he was in trot too often rather than gallop. Also good to see the multi-jump offensive rebound effort here.

I suck at scouting talent, but I believe Nader is an NBA-calibre player.

Most Definitely, Nader is NBA Caliber. Also Žižić; Brown of course; and probably Yabusele too. Jackson, IDK. He'd be a Two-Way Contract.

We at least know this: Danny got two bigs who love to hang on the rim in this draft. Yabs is taking it to unpreside-- new levels there!

Also I wonder if we can get him to bring their arena's shark over when he comes over. That thing is cool.

Žižić with 17pts (8/9FG, 1/4FT), 5rbs and 2ast in only 20 minutes in easy victory by Cibona Zagreb yesterday

Both Yabs and Nader look really good in those highlights.

Yabs looks more explosive than he did in SL.

Usual caveats apply when checking their stats and watching highlights. Not sure how much you can glean from them. But it's better to have the info than not. And it's good that they at least don't suck in their respective leagues. Only time will tell if they'll be able to contribute in the NBA or even make the team next season.

My Issue with the D-leauge is that every 14th and 15th man on the roster goes down there scores above 20 regularly. James Young goes down there and goes for 27. They're all-stars there. They come to the NBA, and when they scratch the lineup for garbage minutes, or some sort of sub in, they get tight, they're not as confident, their shot pings off the rim on a wide open 3, or whatever. I guess it's the big show jitters. I want to know whose getting the best of who in practices. How would Yabusele Zizic and Nader fair against others on the C's in practice? We'll never be able to look under the hood.

Yabs reminds me of a poor mans Antoine walker. A very poor mans Antoine walker

Sadly, Antoine Walker is a poor man('s Antoine Walker) now.

I know, not the point...

Don't blame Antoine... $130 million doesn't go as far these days...

Considering Antoine walker is already poor... but seriously folks

He's an undersized 4 that plays below the rim and spends too much time hanging around the 3 point arc. Is he really any better than Jerebko at this point?

I'd be happy with production like JJ on that contract. Could be a useful roleplayer contract for a title team if he can hit his 3s

Considering where we drafted him and who we took him over, I'd consider that to be a disappointment

This guy just stands out each and every time on the court. Brown, Yabu, Zizic, Nader, Jackson....Such a talented draft class up & down. Pretty darn good picks.
