Here are both Bjelica and Teodosic and a vague idea of the atmosphere at a euroleague game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEJWqen4Hl4

highlights. De Colo, Bogdanovic, Vorontsevich, Bjelica can be solid NBA players.

That's the last comparison I would have expected too.

I'd have gone with a better rebounding Turkeyglue.

minimus · Post #389 » by **minimus** » Wed Mar 18, 2015 9:58 am

^^ Yeah, Turkoglu with better rebounding skills, less shooting skills, more aggressive both in defense and defense.

Eh, yeah, it's not perfect. But Bjelica is a tough guy to find a comparison for. There aren't a lot of 6-10 SFs around to draw good comparisons with.

Bjelica if better than Bennett and Payne

minimus · Post #392 » by **minimus** » Wed Mar 18, 2015 12:33 pm

^^ Yeah, however I see him exclusively as stretch 4. Probably helping running 2nd unit as additional PnR guy, a bit ballhandler in fastbreak.

More experienced for sure.

Bjelica is not purely a stretch four, sure he can hit the jumper, but he is not a pure shooter, his strength is his face-up game with dribbling skills.
He and Towns together will be a sick combo.
Plus Payne, Garnett, Dieng, Pekovic, from the bench I guess.
I think Bennett is in his way out.

You just need to find a SG, I guess Martin will start next season though

Rubio
Martin-LaVine
Wiggins-Muhammad-Budinger
Bjelica-Payne-Garnett
Towns-Dieng-Pekovic

Plus whoever you draft at 32 and 36, at least a back-up guard should come from those picks, and whoever you sign o re-sign to complete the backcourt.

I guess you might be able to get a 2nd round pick for Bennett on draft night, or even go up with 32, 36 and Bennett and get a late first.

I'd rather see Wiggins at SG and Bazz at SF. Bring Martin in for instant offense. Wiggins can then dominate the other teams SG.

I'd would be more than happy with this roster. Even if I still believe that should find veteran PG, not rookie. Also I would resign Neal as backup SG for reasonable price. Any 2nd or late 1st round pick should be BPA, based on potential. I guess that we can find capable wing defender with limited defense by using this picks. Or versatile combo guard.

I feel the same way, but then what about Lavine? I hate him as back up PG. Do we just cut his minutes or trade him?

I don't know. Gotta wait to see what kind of player he's going to be. I'm fine letting him sit and learn as a backup 1 or 2.

What is Bjielica's trade value? Is he worth a first round pick? Where would he get drafted in this year's draft?

I asked because I have only seen youtube videos and he seems alright. But people are talking like he is Mirotic good/ valuable. Exaggeration on that comparison but saying a better rebounding Turkgolu is, really good. I am only asking the above questions because i am really trying to assess his value, and not necessarily looking for what we can get back in a trade.

Supposedly from what Ive heard, several teams are interested in trading for Bjelica's rights. But with him being so close to coming over to the NBA, the asking price is at an all time high.

I would give Bjelica if any team take Pekovic contract as well.

That would be huge to get rid of Pek.
