Restricted free-agent on the Clippers. Once Ginobili's backcourt mate in Italy.
Coming of 3 year, $6 million deal. Shows flashes of ball-handling brilliance and has a good 3 point shot. Very versatile backcourt player, 8.5 points, 4.5 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals while playing 27.6 minutes per game.

The Clippers have made a qualifying offer to Jaric. A sign and trade involving Beno and the Spurs first round pick may satisfy both parties.

Has some durability question marks, but I'm very high on his potential.

Would have to change jersey numbers.

I read they made a qualifying offer, which means they have the option to match offers from other teams.

He is injured too often.

[Nikos]

I was high on this guy his first two years, but the injuries have taken the luster away from his potential.

The comparison to Manu is spot on in several areas. He is a good passer, solid defender on 2 guards, quick hands which allows him to rack up several deflections and steals. Has a solid 3pt shot.

Difference is he is less crafty and explosive around the basket than Manu. Which means he is a much weaker scorer.

I guess his upside is similiar to a Doug Christie of 2-3 years ago.

I wouldn't mind having him on the team, he could probably guard the 3 position pretty well too. He is a little taller than Manu and a little bit stronger physically on defense.
