    Morey is overseas watching him play. Anyone heard any updates on him? We need him over here ASAP to see what he's got.

    Can someone skim this and translate anything relevant?

    No, he's a scoring SG/SF.

    Can't wait to see this guy play in the NBA. He has ALL the tools.

    He is slow, but tough. Bad 3pt shooter, won't fit our team at all since, in addition, he is below average defender and he is bad locker-room guy.

    That's just my opinion while scouting European players.

    What's wrong with him in the locker room? Finch said he was an option they would have liked to have this season to replace some of CP's contributions.

    highlight videos always make a player look good as they should. Should be interesting if he comes over and how he meshes if he does

    He's got a big mouth and ego, that's why his current team has problems inside of the locker room. Not only because of him, but when you have too many arrogant players that's just happens.

    He will be a good player in Europe, but not in NBA, believe me. Seen a lot of great players fail in NBA while beasting in Europe.

    Agree. He's too slow to be real effective in the NBA.

    You guys are being a drag on the gentile reader. So why does Morey apparently like him? I'm searching for positives here.

    If Kostas commands the MLE, this guy must be a max player.
