Milos Teodosic is the 22 years old point guard of Olympiakos and I think that he is way better than Ricky Rubio. He has tremendous passing abilities and shoots the 3 very well. He became the Euroleague MVP this season and I would prefer him instead of Sergio Llull. These 2 videos show his passing skills. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IedCMMX-ImQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3SBsLyTKNg This is his MVP video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZCHA01lH3s
lol, for a good 3 point shooter he missed the only shot I've ever seen him take? The first pass was nice but I'm pretty sure most point guards in the nba can do a behind the back pass.......and there's no way he pulls off something like the second pass in our league, the NBA is too tall a league for that pass to make it, he won't have the same height advantage in the NBA so that will change the angling of a lot of his passes since he'll be a smaller player.
Ricky is 19 This guy is 23.Not 22. He got hot early in the game yesterday but If you aren't drafted by the time you're 23 in europe chances are you're not good enough for the NBA.
2004-05 Anthony Parker (Maccabi) 2005-06 Anthony Parker (Maccabi) 2006-07 Theo Papaloukas (CSKA) 2007-08 Ramūnas Šiškauskas (CSKA) 2008-09 Juan Carlos Navarro (Barcelona) 2009-10 Miloš Teodosić (Olympiacos) WOW! Very impressive list
These players are some of the greatest Eurpean players of all time and you showed us that you don't know **** about basketball. BASKETBALL IS NOT ONLY ABOUT NBA OR STREETBALL like in USA. I think you don't remember how Papaloukas kicked some American a$$ in 2006 World Championship
And why are posting such a dumb question like this? If you read carefully I said that Basketball is not only NBA.Your question doesn't make sense at all.
You are confusing me. You asked: That makes me think that you wish the Rockets would bring him in to THE NBA and not Llull. Which I still say HELL NO the Dude Sucks.
Isn't this thread about bringing him over to the NBA? And since when is posting youtube videos of Euroleague MVP's constitute basketball knowledge?
I watch the final four game between Barca and Oly. Ricky just does not impress me. Sure his a decent player, but he is no where as good as his reputation says.
Well, you are listing Euroleage MVP's such as Papaloukas, Parker, Siskauskas and saying that they are not good players. Don't make conclusions by yourself such as posting videos constitute basketball knowledge. If you know basketball, you should know that Europeans know basketball better than Americans. Be careful, I'm saying know, not play.
We can call Teodosic’s regular season in the Euroleague a moderate success. Coming from a Balkan team to a wealthy powerhouse, to get playing time was the natural first goal, and he ended up averaging over 20 minutes per game, even close to the 30-minute mark in the last four, although injuries did help him to advance in the rotation. When it comes to performance level, it hasn’t been an easy environment for Teodosic. Olympiacos is quite a mess this season. A top-4 team in Europe in terms of budget, they renewed its core again this past summer, coming up with a very talented, but highly inconsistent and not particularly team-oriented crop of players that perhaps lacked more blue collar and glue guys. In this context, Teodosic hasn’t been able to provide consistent leadership from the point guard position. First, because he rarely played as a real playmaker, but more as a combo guard, therefore not being able to completely take over the control of his team’s offense doing what he does best: to distribute the ball through his passing and scoring abilities, and to set the game tempo. Second, because he’s still a youngster on a star-loaded squad. Third, because he has struggled with one of his best weapons, his perimeter stroke (only 23.7% accuracy). On the defensive end, he himself has a fair share of responsibility with his team’s poor performance. He’s clearly not the most gifted player around on defense, given his limited lateral quickness, but he barely puts in any effort there. If everything goes as expected, Teodosic is bound to become a European star. NBA-wise, he fills the bill for the skilled and unathletic Euro guard who struggles to make a transition to a physically very demanding league. Somebody might be interested in him in the second round, but that’s not even a given. Taken from draft express.
