We'll see. Euro fans always say stuff like this.
If guys can really play then they play in the NBA, but I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised.
Who made that rule. Not everyone wants to play here. Llull qualifies for that or at least he has in the past. Every opportunity he has had to consider moving here he has locked up a contract in Euro in lieu of Morey begging him to sign. This time may be different for several reasons. First he's accomplished all or at least most of his goals in Europe. Second Morey is offering him more money than a lottery pick and third he sees what his friend Rubio is making and knows he will never get that kind of money in Europe so he will seriously consider USA. I don't know if he will but think this might be are best chance yet.
From a basketball standpoint this kid plays the game at a high level. His style fits in perfectly how the Rockets play. The things Lin tried to do driving and on the pick and roll he does successfully. And he is a major clutch player. Not just a few times but almost everytime his team needs a basket they put the ball in his hands and he succeeds at an alarming rate. I have rarely seen anyone in any league be so deadly in the clutch. Will it translate. Not sure but I would bet on him not failing.
