    He seems to have finally figured it out & has been very impressive in Euro FIBA. Would be very interesting prospect as Diaw's replacement.

    Does he fit in with Rique, though? By that I mean, can he set 5 picks in a row for him, and receive a bail out pass while being sandwiched by 3 players with two seconds left in shot clock and make a bucket?

    Jan at least was completely reliant on his athleticism, so going from being a freak in Europe to being just an above-average athlete in the NBA really hurt him. I'm not surprised he's doing well again, but I also don't know how much his skill level has improved. I'd be intrigued by him next off-season to complete with Milutinov for a rotation spot.

    Niko actually has a camp invite courtesy of Doc Rivers, lol.

    I was surprised by how improved he looked skill-wise. He certainly will find his way back to the NBA at some point. Can be a very decent 4th big.

    He would be a great energy guy off the bench somewhat like a rich man's Tyler Hansbrough (that spot is currently occupied by Bonner). I'm pretty sure his agent has seen what Pop was able to do for Baynes after getting his hands on him midway through his career.

    He couldn't do anything in Washington with max minutes. Perhaps he could be a camp invite. But, I'm sorry he was terrible in his two years or so in Washington.

    He's an energy guy & they were trying to feature him. Vesely would basically be Baynes 2.0 in the Spurs system.

    He's Tiago status in those categories but he a versatile defender & can finish at the rim w/ the best of them. He has found his niche as an energy man kind of like Chris "Birdman" Anderson & with all the geezers on the team a lad like Vesely wouldn't hurt.

    He's a POWER FORWARD that was a project small forward when he was drafted...dude is the same size as Tiago & can move his feet just as well on defense if not better. He just has a better postup game/motor, better shooting form, can run down the floor better & is an elite finisher at the rim. I'm not sure where you got th Thabeet hand from b/c that wasn't his issue. He just made rookie mistakes & his confidence was shot but that's what happens to project players on a lotto team. Playing in Euro has helped his confidence & Bball IQ as it was evident during Euro FIBA & the pre-season game.

    Worst case scenario for him right now is that he ends up being Mason Plumlee 2.0 which isn't bad for a 4th/5th big (aka the Bonner/Baynes spot).

    i've seen him play even before he came to the nba and was very heavy on the fact that he would be a massive bust. He has absolutely stone made hands and is not going to score on any half court set. Sure, he is tall and fast, but that's really all he is. He has the tools to be a good player, but until he can shoot at least from 5ft he is not usable at all, because he would not beat anyone in the paint in the nba.

    LoL at judging a player based on what you saw of him as a teenager & 7 footer not being able to shoot meaning they can't play in the NBA. He could used in PnRs just like Tiago & he can actually punish smaller defenders in the post unlike Splitter. He is currently no worse than Mason Plumlee who was All-Rookie 1st team & played for Team USA. Vesely doesn't even bother shooting 3 nowaday but he has a decent mid-range shot unlike Tiago/Plumlee & has found a niche as an energy guy rather than masquerading as a 7ft small forward. He also more mature & doesn't make careless rookie mistakes.

    This was him yesterday giving Brook Lopez (an All-Star NBA center) the business:

    A season in Europe will help him massively. He was drafted too early and had too much burden on his shoulders. He was also in a bad situation and with bad coaching in Washington. He's the sort of guy you take in the 20s and leave in Europe for a couple of years, then bring back and hope he could be a Splitter or a Mirotic.
