    Gogi has this European finesse he brings to the game. Reminds me a lot of TP, and kinda has that 03-07 Manu swag

    Dragic is really having a break out year. Good performance against Golden State.

    looks like Dragic is taking over that Steve Nash role in Phoenix like they always wanted... Gogi is one of my favorite players, fearless and can ball!

    interesting fact

    interesting fact: There are currently 2 players in the league averaging above 19 ppg and 6 apg while shooting 49%. One of those players is LeBron James. The other is Goran Dragic

    Stats yeah, but Lin doesn't have his own team to run so it's not a 1:1 comparison. Lin gets less minutes too. Dragic is def having a good year though.

    Dragic plays SG 80% of the time, so he doesn't exactly run his own team either.

    No, he's not. They still need to get one of those. Goran and Bledsoe are your 2/3 best player on a championship team at beast.

    The point is Goran is not their top dog. Eric Bledsoe is.

    This is Bledsoe's year like how it was Harden's last season.

    Yeah. They said that they're suppose to be equal on the cout - in terms of handling tha ball - but that went away fast, and Goran has been degraded to more of a support player for Bledsoe, while he developes. It's a bit of a shame, because Goran is still much better at organising the offense, but I guess you need to give Eric some room to gain experinece and grow as a player. He has potential to be a really good player, but has a lot of work to do to get there.

    On the bright side, Goran has a lot more room to operate offensively and gets a lot more open looks now, when he's not the sole attention of the opposing defence anymore. Accordingly his shooting % is slowly climbing, and he's becoming a really efficient and diverse scoring threat. If things continue as they are, his point average might be somevhere in the mid 20 by the end of the season. It's a long way to there, but we'll see.

    One of the things that separates Goran Dragic from a guy like Jeremy Lin is his aggressiveness... he just seems to always be on the attack.

    26 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds last night in a one-point win in Minnesota.
