    Speaking about european wing prospects, I see Fournier improving his draft stock at the Adidas Eurocamp. If we keep our 16th pick I wouldn't mind to get him there.

    his game is not as fluid as Dragic's. I watched that entire game when they defeated Panathinaikos in the crazy final minutes of nervous Euroleague semifinal, and i didnt know he was sought after, and he not once stood out to me. I have a strong feeling hes going to be a scrub if he makes it, hes lacking hustle and heart, unless he somehow becomes a premiere shooter, which he's currently not.

    Shved has similar stats to Roko Ukic, who was drafted by the Raptors in 2005.

    Roko Ukic was a Croatian Guard who was a 2nd Round pick in '05. He just didn't make the transiton to the NBA game.

    I'm not saying he'll necessarily suffer the same fate Ukic did in the NBA...but Ukic and Shved were (are) outstanding Euroleague players, but the former (Ukic) flamed out in the NBA (Raptors and Bucks).

    It's always tough to gauge how a Euro guard will translate to the NBA game.

    I wouldn't give up much to get him in Houston.

    Ukic was considered a raw street baller. Shved has developed with CSKA.

    Ukic was fun to watch. It's too bad he couldn't get playing time.

    His nickname can be the Shvedder.

    You heard it here first.
