The guy you want if you're shopping in Europe is Miloš Teodosić. He is the best one over there, 25 years old, 6'5" and playing at CSKA Moscow with AK47.

LMAO...he's 5.8? Dude is 6'0 if not at least close to it, so 5'11. Also, he's 27 way too old right? Well Dragic is 26, Rockets totally wanted him. He can't cover PG's? Are you insane? Rubio, shockingly your avatar, thinks otherwise. Rubio never scored over 8pts on Bo McCalebb, Dragic while scored 19 on Bo, he had 6 turnovers.

Please don't speak on this if you know nothing about it. He has played against many NBA point guards and have played on par or better than those PG's except Rubio who he has just demolished every time they went against each other, and Rubio shows he will be a good PG. Name me ONE pg who went against Bo and just had his number, ever.

Best PG in Europe is clearly Bo McCalebb.....yeah he's 6'5 but what does that matter, Raymond Felton is same height as Bo McCalebb and Calderon is about Milo height but he's no where near Felton skills. The age argument is moot as well since it's only 2 year difference in age.

comparison at Eurobasket 2011....better than Euroleague comparison since the talent at Eurobasket includes NBA players

Draftexpress' measurements database has him at 5'10.5" in bare feet. And seriously if you watch him he's clearly taller than 5'8". If he was able to do the in game dunks he does at 5'8 it would be incredible.

Hate to burst your bubble but Bo doesn't wanna play in the NBA. (if he did he would of been signed years ago)


He is a better version of Darren Collison IMO very good player. But after he found a home over seas he really has no desire to leave. Great example he and Gerald Green of guys who take their time over seas to heart and really get a lot better.

Milos isnt a very good NBA spect(doubt he ever comes over) he could probably play but IMO he is a backup at best. I would take Bo over him 10/10 for the NBA game.

oh come on. The NBA wasn't interested enough and didn't offer enough. If they make him a big offer he'll come over.

Dude have no idea what he talking about. I went to several games of Bo at UNO, I attended UNO....I know for a fact he's closer to 6'0, if not 6'0 because like dude said, he's 5'10.5 bare feet and who play without shoes?

You say he's 173cm, so yeah if I was to type that into google what would that prove? Your avatar has Rubio.....ask Rubio what he thinks about Bo McCalebb.....he probably still has nightmares about Bo. You say he's not ready but he played against Spain (Gasol brothers & Ibaka) and still had 20+ points with good FG% and what did your boy Rubio do?

Also, I have seen stuff say Bo is interested in NBA now, some team supposedly offered up to 4.7mil per year but his buyout is too high. I still think he maybe signs in NBA this year, it's about that time

Against Ricky Rubio, Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Calderon, Fernandez.......all NBA players. He had no NBA players on his team

http://www.eurobasket2011.com/en/cid_4, ... amID_.html

Rubio 5pts
Bo McCalebb 25pts on 58% shooting

BUT BUT BUT he's too small to play in NBA. Ibaka had about 5 blocks Game 1 of NBA Finals....Spain only had 4 and Bo was driving to the rim

Rubio's team easily won, and Rubio took 4 shots, made two. I'm not sure what this is supposed to demonstrate. Bo lead his team in shot attempts, pretty bad idea when your the point guard... oh well. Enjoy.

Dude, Rubio plays on Spain, who're on a different level than any team in Europe.
They did beat Macedonia, but the game was quite close throughout, in large part thanks to McCalebb.
McCalebb also had a far superior tournament overall. He was arguably the second best player of the whole tournament after Tony Parker. Rubio had a terrible tournament himself.

I remember when Rubio played for Barcelona, McCalebb completely destroyed the guy. I mean, he went OFF.

He is a scoring PG, but I don't see how there's anything wrong with that. Ty Lawson, Tony Parker, etc... those guys are scoring PGs, too, and do just fine.

You obviously seem to have some kind of bias against the guy, though, so I guess there's little sense in arguing.

He shot 58% from the field and had 5 assist and only 1 turnover. Spain is one of the only teams that give Team USA a battle and Bo and co. lost by 12 after staying close most of the game. Spain team is full of NBA players, and not scrubs either. Rubio only had 4 assist so Bo still moved the ball around quiet a bit. Like the guy above me said, you are clearly impartial. I am willing to admit that he's a scoring guard, but I never went to compare him to Steve Nash or Jason Kidd. I compare him to the likes of Derrick Rose, Ty Lawson, etc. You said he can't cover NBA guards, well since you have Rubio in your avatar, he's a NBA guard....why have he always destroyed Rubio? Why did Dragic have 6 turnovers when playing Bo? Don't just throw bull out there, he's clearly a good defender and one of the best guards in Europe.

You said he's 5'8 (which is a lie), he can't cover NBA guards (which has been proven otherwise in his performances against those players).

He lead a country name Macedonia to great heights, I wonder what Spain vs. Macedonia box score or against any other team in Europe before he played for them? Any idea?

I don't believe Spurs were the team who offered 4.7 million though so the NBA bidding war has just begun since the KINGS of European talent has shown interest. He will most likely be a Hornet though (at least I hope)
