One rebound shy of a double double at half time.

Do you think when Ante gets here he'll be expected just to jack up a bunch of threes and get no rebs?

11 points and 8 boards in 15 minutes so far.
Leading both teams in points and rebounds.
This guy is a lottery pick !
AND highest Performance Rating- whatever that is.
Wish we could play the guy this year.

Does anyone know how many combined double doubles our current bigs have?

Zizic one rebound away at halftime.

I am surprised Harangody is not doing better. I thought he would suit well in European basketball.

Very, very impressive.  Rebounding is supposed to be one of the more translatable skills from Europe to the NBA, so this is great news.


Great words from a great man

Highlights from the game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45uspqsfQ9c
he looks pretty good as an under the basket type player. i dont think he can make any shots further than 5 feet from the basket. but he might yet develop a mid range shot, who knows?

he is pretty fast for a center as well. but i really enjoyed watching how he boxes out opposing players.

he may turn out to be better than steve adams, at least offensively. that would be nice.

What about the lack of caring, pride, and self respect? Does he have that?

Fell asleep a bit before halftime (blame my habit of segmented sleep...) but it has been a solid performance so far. He looked like the best big in the game.

Offensively, he is really good at the PnR, but he also posts up regularly. He uses his body and  footwork (for a guy of his size) well.

Good insticts for rebounding.

Defensively, he is sound. He is good in the paint but also able to guard at the perimeter. Boxes out p well too (although there were a couple of times in the first half he didn't do it properly and let his opponent go through).

I like his confidence and energy too.

For a 20 yo center playing at the Euroleague, this is ticking quite a few boxes. The only way to find out what he can do it the NBA is ofc to have him play here.

@oldtype How do we know that rebounding is particularly translatable from Europe to the NBA? Not that I disagree with what you are saying, but I'd love to see some relevant evidence.
