qute a few teams might wonder if they shouldn't better have invested a 2nd rounder on this guy.
can anyone see him get offers for the upcoming season?
(don't know about his contract situation with Red Star, but I assume that's nothing that money couldn't solve)
a fit for the Spurs? why not.

Marko Keselj reminded me of Sasha Danilovic yesterday.
That wink in the first half was treat.

Spurs already have Bonner at that position, for the next 3 years.
Suerte!

I'm pretty sold on DX, and they rated him the 98th best player available for the draft. If there were still a 4th round, he'd probably have been picked. He's REAL skinny, and, unusually for a foreign player, VERY inexperienced, even at 22. He only played 10mpg in his regional league, and 9 minutes in Eurocup competition, and his numbers dropped with the raised level of competition.

that's not right. he played about 22 mintes in each competition and did pretty well, especially in the Adriatic league, which isn't a bad competition. (10.4 points)

Did he wanted to be drafted?

That may sound as a dumb question but two players (Radulica and Shved ) went undrafted only because it was their wish.

Alexey Shved didn't want to get drafted because he knew he was going late 2nd at best.

Keselj was also a candidate to be a late 2nd round pick at best.

Which is likely one of the reasons why he didn't declare himself eligible.

Keselj was automatically eligible.

Once he dropped out of the first round, Scola didn't want to be drafted, either. If a team wants a player's rights, they're going to draft him, whatever the player's preference is.

Kesselj wasn't a good enough prospect to take the risk of drafting him against his will.

Right. But the reason he wasn't drafted had nothing to do with his will, and everything to do with the "not good enough" part. :)

I was confused b/c the Fiba WC homepage has him listed as Red Star player. yes, he did sign with Olympiakos (3 years).
