Really? I couldn't stand him when he was on the Raptors roster. He really didn't look good enough for the NBA imo.

Panathinaikos signed yet another high profile player (their fourth this offseason, after Fotsis, Pekovic and Nicholas) with Serbian Dusan Kecman, a 6-6 swingman who averaged 10 ppg, 5 rpg and 2 apg with Partizan.

Two big transactions today: Real Madrid signed PG Pepe Sanchez and CSKA Moscow signed PF/C Erazem Lorbek.

Lottomatica Roma has signed Slovenian combo guard Sani Becirovic to a 3-year deal. However, the team has already lost a couple of top players, with post Erazem Lorbek moving to CSKA and PG Roko Ukic reportedly set to join the Toronto Raptors. Becirovic averaged about 7 ppg (and just under 2 rpg and apg) for Panathinaikos, but shared time (only 17 mpg) with a glut of talented guards: Spanoulis, Diamantidis, Jasikevicius, Vujanic and Winston.

I'm always a bit surprised that Sanchez never got a real chance in the NBA. I like him as a PG.

I think there are some stylistic reasons that contributed to that. He was trying to break in at a time when more free-flowing, ball-movement based offenses just weren't in vogue yet. Sacramento was getting there, but it was still pretty rare. And the things he was capable of at an NBA level, such as defense, passing, rebounding and posting up smaller guards, weren't the things people were willing to accept in a guard. What they were looking for was someone to take guys off the dribble or make spot-up jumpers, and he was (and is) below average in both respects. I think he'd be more welcome in the league now, but he's 31 and has a very solid career (and income) overseas. I love him, though. Always did, from the first time I saw him at Temple.

Archibald, Omar Cook, Palacio.. so many terrible former Raptors... ugh

Haislip is the dopest, too bad he never did attend our FA camp in T.O. last month, he was head & shoulders above everyone else attending talent-wise. problems with visa? his euro club? idk, but i';ll catch any euro games this season with unicaja. is boniface n'dong still on that team? that was a great frontcourt pair, Haislip & N'Dong.

Former USC and NBA forward David Bluthenthal has signed with Le Mans.

Talented but troubled forward Rodney White (former 9th overall pick by Detroit, spent time with Denver and Golden State in the NBA, but had issues not waving and firing guns...) has signed with Maccabi Electra. (That's still a hard word to type.) Also, Milano signed Jumaine Jones and Efes Pilsen signed the Turkish former NC State guard Engin Atsur, who spent last season with Benneton Tamoil.

White instead of Morris... Hmm
