From memory I think Exum is Australian mixed.
 
So porzingis is from lavia? Is that as hard to find as it sounds? Is it a myth?

Here's your answer....

Getting back on track... Hezonja with a windmill dunk in today's Barcelona game:

His stat-line for the game: 28 mins, 14 points(6/10 FG, 2/5 3p FG), 5 rebs, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 TO
 
And some more highlights of the game, several from Hezonja:

Damn his head gets up to the rim almost. I hope we pick him or Stanley Johnson. Hezonja is my favorite, but if I'm a GM, he's a guy that might cost me my job.

I've been warming up to him lately, after I actually got to watch him play some full games instead of relying on other people's scouting reports. His defensive deficiencies have been massively overstated. It looks much more a problem of concentration and attitude, rather than ability and skill. I think he can be a great defender if he applies himself and cares about his defense.

And one more statline: Kristaps Porzingis with 14 pts(6/8 FG, 2/3 3P FG), 6 rbs, 1 st, 2 bl in 22 mins vs Unicaja Malaga
 
So the last game for Hezonja he got big minutes because of injuries. Anyone know how significant these injuries are? Is he looking at increased minutes for a long stretch?
 
Jesus that white foreign kid looked sick on that dunk. Really explosive yet smooth. And seemingly really confident by the look of his swag as he ran back down the court. We need some of that.

Brad Oleson is out for 1 month, Juan Carlos Navaro is close to return, but it might be a week more... or he might be back on Friday against Panathinaikos. But I think that if he keeps playing well, he will keep getting minutes even when the starters return.
 
And if there are people interested in Vezenkov for our second round pick, he had another great game against one of the best European teams Panathinaikos today. Finished with 19 pts(7/14FG, 3/5 3pFG), 6rbs, 2 assists, 1 block in 34 minutes of play. His shooting has been ridiculous this year despite raised minutes and usage. He's shooting 54% from the field and 50% from 3 on 4 attempts per game. What has been shocking is that with his game expanding with some low post action, he's been rebounding like crazy in offense as well. Right now he averages close to 6 offensive rebounds per game, which for a non-athletic SF/PF is quite awesome.

Vezenkov? Sounds like a villain from a James Bond movie.
 
How many 2nd round picks do we have this year? I'm assuming we will be drafting a lot of foreign dudes like that who aren't looking to come to the NBA right away.
