lol at a racist Mormon from Crackerville, USA calling any other state a hole.

Haha, I've been there many times, and believe it or not, it's a hole. The question is, have you EVER been to Utah? If not, then stay the out -- we don't need you here soaking up our sun and fresh air.

I honestly though Dragic would be back in Europe after his first season. I watched about 10 games of his in his rookie year, and he just looked like a rec league player, looked horrible.

He's been damn good this year so he's obviously worked on something - maybe a confidence issue aswell. Good on him.

Most of the Slovenian posters in this forums (me included) said that Dragic came to the NBA too early. He needed another year of Euroleague at least to be ready.
Getting accustomed to the way things are done in the NBA and in the US is difficult even for more experienced and more developed players.

But we also said that he was a player with a lot of heart and that given the opportunity he could be a NBA player. I'm actually surprised he turned things around after only a year, but I also think he can become even better.

In any case he proved that his decision to come to the US last year was a good one.

I've been a Dragic fan for a long while. Even when he was a lot younger than everyone, I was impressed with how physical, tough and defensive-minded he was. I bugged the Slovenian posters for Dragic updates for years

Now that he's figuring out the offensive side of the court, kid may develop into a stud. I think he still has a ton of room for growth because he's still acclimating to this level of play. By the time Nash retires, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Dragic is a quality starting point guard.

When the Suns drafted him in '08, they figured he was the 2nd best PG in the draft behind Derrick Rose. Keep in mind, this is a draft that included Russell Westbrook, Jerryd Bayless, George Hill, Mario Chalmers, and DJ Augustin. I think that Dragic could be better than most of those guys in two years' time.

For the Slovenian Dragic fans who are pissed off about like Dragic scoring 24 points in the 1st half of a game and then only getting 4 shots in the 2nd half (while making 3 of them), or like Jason Richardson playing horrible and getting way more minutes than Goran right after Goran scored 32 points, my message to you is sorry that Dragic is on the one team in the NBA where the coach is scared if the older players on the team so making sure they stay happy and get their shots is more important than doing what gives the team its best chance at winning.

Nice work Dragic!

Goran is the man! He is the sweetest, and deserves the recognition. It was funny seeing him get double-teamed vs the bobcats. The NBA finally took notice. To the guy who said Nash will get Dragic traded, the Suns got Dragic to be Nash's replacement so, Nash has no say when it comes to Dragic.
