| Bjelica, Nemanja | Serbia | 6'10" | 223 | SF | 5/9/1988 | Among the European players in the 2010 NBA Draft - I have a better feeling about Bjelica having a chance for success in the NBA more than most others. ...He has that coveted size (6'10") for a wing player. ...Right handed and moves very well for a 6'10" guy. ...Good with the ball in his hands. A playmaker that can play "Point Forward". …Uses the ball fake well. …He has an easy stroke from deep. …He has more assists than turnovers. …His field goal percentage overall is .419 for his European play in 2009-10. …Solid at the line at 77%. ...He gets to the free throw line which you do not always see from Small Forwards that shoot the three-ball. |
Where do I expect Bjelica to be taken? Somewhere around 40th.
Our best advice: In 2003 - the 40th pick was Derrick Zimmerman. We said - "take Kyle Korver."
Our worst advice: In 2005 - the 40th pick was Monta Ellis. We said - "take Ryan Gomes."
