Team 2008-09: IURBENTIA BILBAO (Spain- ACB) Career: Cibona Zagreb (youth team), Zabok (Croatia-A-2, 2001-02), Sanac Karlovac (Croatia-A-2, 2002-03), Cibona Zagreb (Croatia, 2003-06), Milwaukee Bucks (USA-NBA, 2006-07), Spartak St. Petersburg (Russia-Superleague, 2007-08), Zalgiris Kaunas (Lithuania-LKL & Baltic, 2008).
The question marks over his temperament don't ever seem to be fading in spite of a relatively stable second half of the season playing with national team-mate Marko Banic in Bilbao after switching ACB clubs from Menorca. Despite an injury which made him miss games at the end of the season, he enjoyed a run to the Final Eight of Eurocup and is a player who can make the difference and have an impact when he is on the floor. Definitely has the game and was once regarded as one of the best in his year, but realistically has not consistently shown the kind of application a career at the very highest level demands. If he is maturing after his time in Bilbao then that can only be good because he can offer so much from his size, quickness and athleticism to shooting ability including NBA range. |
