Manu on His Facebook: .....

I think Pop doesn't want PG that has low offensive arsenal. Pepe is a of a PG, but on the offensive end he could be a liability. He's short and doesn't have a lot of height on his jump.And he's not much of a great shooter, straky I'd say. That's probably why he wanted Montechia.
But , as PG he dominates FIBA games as anybody I've seen. His ballhandling is amazing.

Pepe sucked at D. Montecchia on the other hand, was a bad ass.

I remember Montechia guarding pretty damn well to Iverson in 2004 Olympics.

The only "meh" aspect of his offensive arsenal is his shooting (still not as bad as Vaughn), he's great at anything else on that end.

Pepe Sanchez was Eric Snow´s back up. He wasn´t good enough for a starting spot over Snow.
His game was better suited for FIBA.
But, he was a very good defender, passer, and had great court vision.

That's 'cause he spend his rookie year playing for Larry Brown. Is almost impossible to get any playing time as a rookie with him.

I think Pepe would have worked great in SA with Manu.

I agree but to me he doesn't have a great first step, not the quickest PG and he doesn't jump much.

I don't know why Pop was never interested in him. I heard he was interested in Monteccia and Prigioni but not Sanchez. WTF? Pepe is clearly better than both of them.

i think he was. there was an interview few months ago where pepe mentioned that...i gotta check i might be wrong.

To me that 3 PG:

Montechia: Great shooter and defender, good PG skills. I little short. Should have been a great fit for SA.

Prigioni: Kind of Sanchez alike. Good PG, controls the game very well. Less talented offensively that Pepe, still a decent shooter. Few jumpness and atheleticism.

Sanchez: Controls the game as he wants, A+ ballhandling skills and his game seems so smooth. Decent shooter, more atheletic than Prigioni. Decent offensive and defensive game overall. Left handed.
