He's 26 years old. Signed a three-year deal just under $16 mil, using up the Nets' MLE.

Anybody know much about this guy? His nickname isn't Teletubbie, is it?

he's a shooter, he's got legitimate size, and his favorite movie is 'Homeward Bound 2: Lost In San Fransisco'.

I can picture Fran Fraschilla saying this.

One of the best shooters in Europe. Similar type Linas Kleiza.

But I'd prefer AK47 because of his defensive abilities.

He is a great shooter but maybe 'soft' for NBA. Will see...

[Quetzalcoatl]

So he entered the NBA Draft in 2007 but didn't get picked up, so now he is forever eligible to just sign an offer deal with whatever team he wants as a free agent?  Doesn't that incentivize every Euro player to just declare themselves for the draft as soon as they turn 19, so they can pull a move like this later?

From the article:

Teletovic has the same agent as Deron Williams.

Interesting.

Looks a little like Nocioni in those highlight videos on youtube.

Edit: Nah, after watching a few more of these, Kleiza looks the best comparison.

Thankyou.

Anyone with better knowledge of international basketball know if Deron Williams every played against this guy?

[snively]

This should take them out of the running for AK-47, right?  Really hope Danny makes an offer on him.

My thoughts exactly.

It also takes them out of the running for Howard, unless Deron/Gerald both take less money and the cap gymastic S&Ts all are agree to by a ton of players.

Yeah, interesting.  The Nets just committed themselves to a $74 million (or so) hard cap.

Naah. Nocioni usually played sf in Europa and NBA. Great energy, tough defender, but low basketball IQ and inconsistent shooter.

Teletovic talented offensive player. I think he will play sf in NBA. Kleiza played PF in Europe but, played sf in the NBA (usually).

No. Teletovic played with Caja in Spanish ACB League and the Euroleague. Deron played with Bjk Milangaz in the Turkish Basketball League and the EuroCup Challenge.
