you will be shocked how good Milos Vujonic and Nenad Kristic are. That was the first tiem I got to see Milos play a whole game--and let me say the China team with Yao and Jialian are no slouch team--Milos was smooth--moved around on the court if I can compare -he is a cross between Steve Nash and Jason Williams--somewhere in the middle. I have no idea why this guy is not playing NBA basketball because he would start PG for 75% of league.

Kristic was just as impressive, although he was getting picky fouls in the 2nd half. Let me use the word Pau Gasol--thats right he confused Ming at both ends and has soft hands real length--he must be atleast 7 feet with very long arms and solid footwork. IMHO if Pega was on this team, they would have a great chance of beating USA--thats how good this team is but we still have the best big man and the best defense if we can sustain it.


i was always a proponent of trading milos--quite frankly from the snippets i saw i thought he was askinny over rated player. NOOOO If I look back and said was it a steal trading what happened to be Kirk Snyder[or couldve been either Smith] Lampe and Milos for Marbury that is no steal of a trade---that is unless Vujonic doesnt come here.

Nets fans will be in shock and are probably happy if they watched this game. they got a legit young skilled 7 footer who will impact the team. Im more inclined to say letting Martin go was a mistake because if they kept what they had--dumped Kittles to relieve the salary cap and picked up a cheap replacement or two Mercer and maybe White--they would still be way up there. Atleast conscilitary feelings must be had, the Nets got a steal of a player in that draft.

So you made up your mind after watching one international game? Overeaction maybe? Dude you can't just watch one game and proclaim that the players you saw are gonna be awesome. And last time I checked China had no decent guards, so what Milos did against them is even more irrelevant.

Vujonic is undeniably a good talent, and I believe Nenad will turn into a very good player, but let's not forget, this is international basketball, which may not seem very different but in fact is. I believe Vujonic can come here and turn into a 12-14 ppg 5 apg player pretty well after a few years, but he's already like 25 isn't he? And he doesn't have the heart and desire to come to the NBA? If a player doesn't have that, I would never want him in the first place... just my opinion..

Vujanic is about 30 in Briggs years.

It depends on which day you ask Briggs and what age best suits his argument.

hahah, but that would only be if he were still a knick...

China does not have a good basketball team. You donnot make judgements about players watching them. Hell if we played their national team with our second squad Hoochie Norris and Shandon Anderson might look like all stars.

The point is IF. When is he coming to the NBA?

hi guys
i live in israel and I saw milos play in europe 5-7 games and he wasn't that impresive.
he is quick but he not a pure PG(low ast numbers) ...he shoots prety good and has range(3's) but he is only 6'3(no shooting guard).
he can play in the nba but not as a star player i think he can be a good sub PG in the nba.
my take is thanks to IT for marbury this guy(milos)will not get you a championship.
and by the way he no way the best point guard in europe he is far from it...there are at least five point guard in europe who are better than milos.

Who are the five? (I'm asking because I don't watch European players often.) Does an NBA team have the rights to all of them like the Suns have to Vaginic?

I've only seen Milos play a few minutes in games from last years international play. Milos is a whole lot better that Marko Jaric....and Jaric is supposed to be their star player.

Milos plays like he was born over here. Dude has alot of ghetto in his handle....

You can't knock a guy for not wanting to come to th eNBA. He is making more than a decent living in Europe.....The guy was born over there.....If I were to be offered a great job in Europe but for alot less money, especially to the NBA where everyone expects you to play till you breakdown.....I don't think I would do it.

Europe is his home and he's doing well over there. You can't knock him.
