    nvm, he tends to jump off the wrong foot

    maybe he does everything with right hand and ball left handed?

    I live in the small town of Novo mesto where Zoki has been playing for 2 seasons now.
    It's a real joy watching him play and I'm sad to see him leave, but it is time to move on. He is definitely one of those people that struggle for every possesion. Dives, struggles, hustles, ... His offensive (well and def) rebounds are the best out of all the SG's I've had the joy of spectating live.
    He's also the main reason my hometown got to win Slovenian national championship for these 2 years now. It's sad he couldnt preform in Euroleague with us due to our home court being too small (heck, it's a 20k people town, probably like a village somewhere in the states), but he did lead the team to Eurochallenge (2nd tier european championship) crown last season and it was just epic watching him explode against teams with 50x the buget of our team.

    If they both end up in the NBA, how will I tell them apart?

    Does one of them, perhaps, carry an identifying scar? That always helped me out when I was a kid...

    I'm not sure what you mean by level of prospect?
    He went undrafted, so he's certainly not a high level prospect, if that's what you mean.

    He's a 23 year old 6'5 SG/SF.

    Appears as if Zoki to the Rockets summer league team is a done deal.

    Love the headline. "The President of Houston Shall Not Be Refused." Morey should use that one in negotiations.

    I bet Kyle Lowry is upset. Morey never let Kyle's brother play for their summer league team.

    Also, 10 games in summer league? Seems more than usual.

    His fat chin has been refused a few times, and nixed by Stern.

    The Vegas Summer League is set to take place on July 13-22. This is after the beginning of the free agency signing period. Might make it awkward if Zoran is playing on the Rockets summer league while Goran has signed elsewhere and the main point of inviting Zoran is as a good will gesture to Goran. But again, the Rockets might just like Zoran, too.

    nice..it's one step of re-signing Gogi...trading Klow7 during draft day would seal it.

    You can tell the difference because Zoran is taller.

    Heck offer him a roster spot if his brother will sign. I'm down with that.

    Thanks. I'm asking if he were being drafted right now where might he go? 1st round? 2nd round? Undrafted? Does he project as a legit NBA rotation player?
