what's the word on him? a shot in the dark? as good as Yao? potential to be better than Yao? don't believe the hype?
He's supposedly more of a KG/Dirk type than a Yao type. of course, so was Darko. You're always taking a risk on unproven (in the US) international talent no matter how good they look, but he's as good a pick as any for Chicago.
Exactly. If he pans out to be anywhere near as good as Dirk, that'd be a great benefit to Chicago. That's if he played like Dirk as a PF, not Dirk as the SG like Dirk tried to in the playoffs.
