Igor Rakocevic

Did the Spurs draft this guy? On the ESPN website it shows that he was. In the recent Euro game he had 15 points and 6 assists for Serbia & Montenegro. Have you guys heard of him and any thoughts on him.

he play for Minnesotta with Rasho one year.........

He was in training camp a couple seasons back for about 15 seconds -- I believe he got a guaranteed deal from Red Star and took off. Pity, we could have used him and he's done quite well in Europe since.

he was good even with Timberwolves. Wally was terrible connection for Igor.

I personaly think that Igor is the biggest evidence that Coach Flip sucks. He would be great with Wally, great with Kevin, maybe great even with Rasho. But he was made to be a 6th man rookie??? He did not even clicked with Billups!?

I think Igor was the most troublesome simptom. Igor is more of a individual player, he wanted to play for HIS statistic and they never let him. So lineup ate Rasho as defense master, and let Igor go looking for minutes.

Spurs that time would not like Igor. A selfish player he was. Adriatic league evolved his potential.

Igor seems like a very talented player from 22 feet and in. Can create his own jump shot well and take it to the hoop with quickness -- not to mention draw fouls.

I don't see why he couldn't be a backup PG in the NBA who comes in and tries to be a scorer for a team that could use him. He has the talent if he found the right team. He seems like a mediocre defender and three point shooter. But other than that, I don't see why he couldn't be a servicecable NBA player?

Is This Guy Better Than Beno?

[dunkman]

He played PG in the NBA, out of control in most of the games I saw, even late in his rookie season. He returned to Europe and moved to SG. He was one of the best players in Spain last year, and recently moved to the Real Madrid.
