Titolo: [NBA] Commenti su Jaric

Ho trovato in rete il seguente articolo, la fonte sembra essere ESPN
Insider, che parla del virtussino Marko Jaric e dell'impatto che
potrebbe avere l'anno prossimo nella lega americana.
Sembra che diversi scout siano molto colpiti, e che si prospetti per
lui un futuro da star anche nell'NBA.
Non male per una trentesima scelta.

The next Jason Kidd 
Marko Jaric, a 6-foot-8 point guard from Greece, is also set to have a
major impact in the NBA next season. 
Jaric, a 6-foot-8 point guard who was drafted by the Clippers in 2000,
is, perhaps, the most coveted player in Europe this year. Several
league sources told Insider that the Clippers have been flooded with
calls about his availability. During the Final 4 he showed why. 
This season, he averaged 16.7 ppg, 2.5 apg and 3.1 spg on 52 percent
shooting. One GM told Insider that if Jaric were in this year's draft,
he'd be a high lottery pick. 
Jaric was, at times, spectacular for Kinder in the tournament --
especially in Game 1 versus Benetton, where he had 17 points, six
rebounds and three assists . 
Jaric's an extremely aggressive basketball player who was simply
relentless putting the ball on the floor and taking it to the basket.
Jaric was equally effective with the drive and dish as well as the
finish. He showed great range on his jumper, strength in the post and
a surprising quickness for someone his size and build. 
A key matchup took place Friday when Jaric was guarded by former
Kings, Celtics and Pacers point guard Tyus Edney. Several NBA scouts
remarked after the game that they were genuinely surprised by how
easily Jaric was able to drive past the smaller, ultra-quick Edney and
still protect the ball. 
Jaric's leadership on the court was also impressive. In a tight game
Saturday, versus Benetton, Jaric took over in the fourth quarter,
leading his team on a 10-0 run that broke the game open. At the end of
the game, Jaric hit several clutch free throws to seal the victory for
Bologna. 
Take that, Jason Williams. 
The other thing that was evident about Jaric was that he plays with a
certain attitude that is only found in the best point guards in the
NBA. Whenever his team got in trouble, it looked for Jaric to bail it
out. 
Not everything was perfect about Jaric's game. In the championship
game, he frequently let the player he was guarding drive past him and
he often gets out of control on his drives to the basket, launching
off-balance shots off the backboard. He was 0-for-5 from behind the
three-point line and just 3-for-8 from the foul line. Still, he played
with the same aggressiveness as he did in the first game. 
"He's going to be very good," one league executive told Insider. "I
had some questions about how he would handle the pressure of the
quicker, more athletic point guards, like Gary Payton and Steve
Francis, in the NBA. But I think he showed a remarkable quickness and
did a great job protecting the ball against Edney. If he continues to
play this way, he'll be a star."

 Non male per una trentesima scelta.
Ho seguito Jaric dai tempi della F scudata, è cresciuto moltissimo, non solo
tecnicamente ma soprattutto mentalmente. La sua trasformazione in play mi ha
stupito, nelle Final Four ha giocato benissimo su entrambi i lati del campo,
è forte in difesa, sa gestire i ritmi molto bene, rispetto al passato fa
molte meno decisioni sbagliate, mis embra che abbia davanti a se un grande
futuro. Il problema è mentale, credo che abbia bisogno di trovare il giusto
ambiente, fiducia, dis entirsi importante, sappiamo tutti ch il carattere un
po' "strano" per così dire è sempre stato il suo limite. Credo che la grande
prova contro Edney abbia fatto moltissima impressione e la partenza di
McInnis potrebbe essere colmata abbondantemente (lo può aiutare Odom nei
compiti di regia il primo anno).
Degli altri 2 "italiani" in odore NBA, Nachbar ha disputato una buonissima
gara, presente in attacco (un po' meno in difesa...), dopo un inizio
orribile è tornato prepotentemente a galla, gran talento,mentre di Gino
sappiamo tutto, davvero straordinario.

Ahahahah. Potevi dirlo subito che si trattava di un pezzo satirico, io
pensavo fosse roba seria. Che ridere, ho i lacrimoni...
