Q: Every year media is moving you to NBA. What are your thoughts in regards to potential move to world best basketball competition
A: Every player, whether he likes to admit it or not, has desire to play a game in NBA finals, because that's the best that basketball can offer. Even tho I feel like basketball quality in NBA went down in last 5 to 10 years.. I still feel like it's the best league and I would like to try myself there. but of course, , not anywhere , not in any way. If I was to leave, it would be ONLY if I knew I was gonna play, I wouldn't wanna go there and play 2-3 minutes in blowout game. I would carefully pick the team where I wanna play for

Q: I have to ask, is there a NBA team (in this moment) that you would like to be part of?
A: San Antonio Spurs have that, so called "euro style" of basketball, where game is played on "extra pass" and so on. But, specifically Utah Jazz, their coach Quin Snyder is former assistant of Ettore Messina and I have great relationship with him. He's a great guy and at the moment one of the most promising coaches in USA, and he knows me very well. I think I would be a great fit for that team since I know him (Quin) and his style of coaching. Plus, Jazz has a solid team with lot of young and athletic players.

He still has 1 year on his contract with CSKA. Maybe next year?

Thoughts?

That's the first game any murican could know him from. There're probably others.
 
Terrific offensive player, as #bern said, he's probably the best in Europe. He's also a bad defender, as the thread on Reddit says, he plays like "my offense is my best defense" almost to the point where he's unplayable defensively in the last minute. Quin Snyder says he's the best passer in the world too, so that's huge

So since u googled him for me, but had nothing to say, that's a no. You don't know anything about him.

exactly one of us look like an idiot right now. I'm sorry your nannies didn't do the research for you. I can tell you that I know a helluva lot more about him than you.... simply because I've spent the last 10 minutes looking into it, rather than complaining about how little I know and how little people are providing for me.

If he was a free agent this year, I'd sign him without blinking.


HUGE competitor, biggest balls in Europe probably.


His defensive woes aren't the biggest of problems if he's gonna be playing backup guard. If he's good for 20-25mpg, more of his energy can be spent on the defensive end. He's a God in Europe, but I'm sure Quin could get him to put more effort on D.

Fav would average 25 a game with him playing

The not liking basketball comment was from me. And I stand by it. If you've ever followed any international competition, his name is one of the first that's always mentioned. Every year there's a Teodosic to NBA rumour going on on /r/nba
He's more creative than Rajon Rondo and Rubio. Sergio Rodriguez fancy passing pales in comparison to Teodosic. His court vision makes hard passes look easy and once teammates learn that they always have to expect him to thread the needle and timely use the shortest gaps, it's really nice to watch.
On defense though, he's James Harden.
