Oh and he is Sarunas.
are you talking about right now or when he was younger?
Right now.
In second round??
Did you ever saw him play?In second round??
No, I haven't. j/k apart, you think seriously he was 2-5 pick considering his age? Any lottery team would bet on him as a long time stay??
He wouldn't be a lottery pick. He's almost 30 and slow.
Second round isn't a far-fetched answer.
We will see, we will see....
I dont think he has
He wouldn't go high for sure. No team is going to build with a 30 year old PG. Best would be to a contender missing a PG. Maybe Pacers would have thrown their pick at him. After that maybe Houston, SA or Miami late in the first at best, but I think SA wouldn't have wanted to miss on Mahinmi.
I have already answered that.
also to think he would have been a top first round pick is just insane.
OK maybe I was wrong, considering his age (I already forgot he played for my Olimpija not less but 6 years ago), but as picnroll sad a team in deep need of point guard could throw high pick.
Just about any playoff team in need of a SG/PG would have drafted him in the first round. so, anywhere from #14 (Minnesota) on up.
He's lottory impact, but age factors in. A team rebuilding doesn't need a 30-year old guard as much they need a 22-year old prospect.
But 2nd-round is a bit extreme. He clearly superior to Jack, Head, Robinson, three PG's who went in the 20's and arguably as good as Wright, Hodge and Garcia (for immediate impact) who went from #14 on up...
now? not drafted...the age question would be too much
If it was when he was in his early 20's, late second round.
In his early 20's he wouldn't be drafted at all. He become good-very good at his 25 maybe 26.
I don't know if y'all realize what a rep he has of being too slow to play in the NBA. No one doubts his shooting ability. But that doesn't mean it will translate to the NBA (See: Heal, Shane). I'm not saying that I don't want him to pan out -- I actually do. But I think his slow rep would stop him from being drafted anywhere in the first round or above any of those players you named.
Even to a playoff team? I'd much rather have a guy that can impact the game now than a prospect in the first round.
He didn't look slow in the Olympics. Maybe not fast, but he certainly had the ability to move around without being a liability. As a gunner, I'd rather have him right now than all those I named, 'cept maybe Garcia, but I've been a Garcia fan for a while now.
Note that he is owsome passer as well!
ok, 25 then. but IMO, still not at 30.In his early 20's he wouldn't be drafted at all. He become good-very good at his 25 maybe 26.
betwen 10-15 by a team that needs some good shooting,playmaking and passing
he will be great even though he isnt very fast!
he is one of the best passers out there
I dont agree with him being to slow, imo his speed is betwen parker and udrih. But his playing ability for the past 3 years are something like nash this year. He just makes everybody in his team to perform better, its that simple. And he is even better when big games starts. Only 2 weakneses he has are his age and his temper when things dont go his way.
PS: how old is nash?
For the record, it's not me who is saying he's too slow.
I'm saying that his rep for the last few seasons among NBA GM's and scouts has been that they have serious doubts he'll be able to play well in the NBA because he's too slow.
Since he has this kind of rep among GM's and scouts, that's why I'm saying that I don't think he would have been drafted very high.
Whether he actually pans out in the NBA is another story.
