    I dont know if Vspan can be the primary PG off bench right away. He hasnt played in NBA yet. Jury is still out. If he is as good as Beno Udrich, I am all happy.

    Manu was 24 when he won the Euroleague in 2001. V-Span is 24 now. So don't expect him to be anywhere near Manu

    In spite of your Texans draft fiasco, I'm going to trust your statement on this. Please tell me this is not just a feeling you have. :cool:

    Spanoulis fall and faint..

    Actually he needs to prove himself first before he gets any high mention like that. He's got the nicknames (Kill Bill, V-Span), now his play has to live up to his early likeability

    I don't know anything about him, but what's the point of drafting these guys if we're never going to bring them over?

    Good move.

    Okay great this is great cuz we are loading this team with young players that will bring energy to da team. I like Battier,Snyder,V-Span alot better than Swift, Bogans, Wesely. I say keep it up Cd, get jl3 and someone else and we ready.

    Not possible. He get paid significantly less than Alston and less established than him. He get paid similar to Snyder but Snyder was a proven starter in NBA. No way he can get 30min. 20min is a quite a stretch already.

    He likes to drive the paint and draw contact.
    That will be nice to have a guard who knows how to get to the bucket and get to the line.

    Can't wait for him to draw those Gino' type fouls against Dallas.

    Hope he turns out to have a good bb IQ and some fire and grit.

    VSpan has bigtime passing skills to go along with his ability to attack the basket.He uses his body well to create space and get his shots off.
    Pretty fair outside shooter too.........I liken him more to Sarunas Marciulionis....w/better ball handling and passing skills.

    It seems that people like him just b/c he is from Euro. I think nobody really know how he will contribute to our team. I only hope he play 10 min without many turnovers. :eek:

    Thus it would make sense to bring in Korver with the $4.2 M TE...
