Yeah, I was wondering why folks thought he had so much Euro experience last season. The guy played around 3 minutes a game.

Skita is a 7-0 footer who thinks he's a SG. And a SG that can't create his own shot at that. His FG% is terrible and unless he unlearns what he has learned (in Europe) he'll NEVER be a PF or even a SF in the NBA. He is no guard! He's soft too but that could be his youth. He has hardly improved and is a Danny Ferry at best. But I can't get his potential out of my head - he was, and still is, considered a player with great potential in Europe.

well, I don't know but he ain't worth the 5th pick - not in the 2002 draft.

Peace, Mike

Skita is still a rookie and he is a long-term-project for the Nuggets. All you need is patience in that case. He wouldn't be the first player that explodes after his rookie year. Ricky Davis for example needed four seasons to become the player he is now.

Danny Ferry? Ferry's strong suit is 3 point shooting, obviously Tskita is more talented than Ferry as an all around player. I really think we shouldn't judge foreign players in there first year, I think we should at least give Tskita 2 more years before we judge him.

there is no substitute for strength...he can't get to where he needs to be. at his size he needs to be stronger so he can post smaller players...now he can't get position. He has a decent first step but doesn't have the strength to get the ball off with any conviction if he gets in the lane. STRENGTH and he will be decent.

I am guessing he becomes the type of player Toni Kukoc is.

ghettobryant · 03-02-2003, 07:34 PM

He's been starting as of late. Maybe he will have a good second half of the season.

Skita was the last player in the bench of his Italian team last season. He played even less than he is playing now in Denver. I think he is the rawest lottery player to come to the league in NBA's whole history. He needs time, more than anyone. But the potential is there.

I can confirm that : in Treviso he played only few minutes every game ...

So, you must be a bit patient ...
The level of the italian league is high , but the jump from here to NBA for an italian bencher isn't so small ! go Skita go
