So what are we getting here - I wonder. A very young large body that oozes potential ( according to Jordan's eye and as evidenced by Donovan offering him last year ) or a slow developing kid for which the US college game is too fast/much for him ( as evidenced by so little PT and production at UAB )?
Is he a kid that warranted a FLA offer, and would have been a T50 recruit if he was coming out of US h.s. ( according to Fraschilla supposedly last year )?
Though I remember that VR ( Radinovic ) was said to have been a T100 recruit when we signed him from Serbia via some Canadian h.s. as I remember. I was never a fan of VR's as he played like he was 6'4 ( no power inside or dunking or hops for a mobile 7' and often got his shot blocked by forwards ). It amazes me to look up his stats and see that he actually averaged 10.3 pts 6 rb and shot 65% FG his SR year. He seemed so soft and unproductive on those last couple struggling/putrid teams of JO's. But I'd be thrilled with those numbers from Big Z ( as a backup to Dallas ) LOL.
The good thing is we probably don't NEED HIM to evolve into a monster lottery pick type ( I'd love it if we could finally get lucky with one of these longshot late pick-ups for once tho ). If he can back Dallas up competently for 2 years ( and Sullinger? for another 1 ) that would be just FINE! Just not another KM please! I know many feel he can still help but I am not one of them.
