    He can run the show, but he is shooting guard. Same as Harden. Good in pick and roll. But I am pretty sure he played at 2 whole season, Teodosić was PG.

    he would be a cheap PG for us and needed due to having no PG on roster

    NBA Comparison: Penny Hardaway


    Strengths: A 6-7 natural point guard with immense upside ... A real competitor, also very smart. Charismatic ... Really has a great feel for the game at a young age ... Has it all offensively with the ability to shoot off the dribble with range as well as take it to the basket ... Tremendous passer and ball handler ... Has a nasty crossover and handles the ball well against the quickest of defenders ... Makes the game look very easy ... Creates baskets for his teammates and makes those around him better ... Very bouncy, good leaper with huge wingspan ... Looks very young. Could still be growing ... Has huge hands giving him added control over the ball ... Applies himself defensively and shows good instincts staying in front of his man and not biting on fakes ... One of the top overall prospects in all of Europe ...

    Weaknesses:[/B] His frame is very long but his shoulders are narrow and he is very skinny ... May never be a very strong player, but as a point guard, that's less important ... Added strength will allow him to drive to the basket and absorb contact better ... He'll also be able to use his size better on the boards ... Being from Russia, he has some hurdles to cross as a number of recent Russian players (besides AK47) have struggled to make the transition to the NBA/USA culture

    His agent said the Rockets aren't interested anymore.

    He went to back up Ricky Rubio. I don't understand why Rockets wouldn't have interest in him. I'd take him over Fortson and maybe Douglas too
