<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">As NBA teams evaluate their needs following last night's draft, however, it appears that Jasikevicius will finally make his debut in the NBA next season, more than seven years after departing College Park. He has emerged as one of the hottest -- if perhaps trickiest to pronounce -- free agent names of the summer. (It's pronounced yes-uh-KA-vi-shus). Indiana, Portland, Boston, Dallas, Utah and Cleveland are interested in the point guard-shooting guard, according to league sources. "He has a legitimate NBA game," Toronto Raptors General Manager Rob Babcock said last month during the Euroleague Final Four in Moscow. Now that the league has a new labor deal in place, the player's agent, Doug Neustadt of McLean-based Octagon, can begin talking to teams on July 1 and hopes to strike a multiyear deal soon thereafter. For Jasikevicius, an NBA contract would mark the end to an amazing run as a superstar in Europe and the start of a new challenge as a rookie in the NBA. "I know that my time is now," he said. "I'm very happy with what I've done, but the NBA has always been my dream."</div> Source
how old is he? I know the Rockets are loaded at the guard spot but I wish they would atleast give him a look...out of all of our guards that we have on the roster (Sura, James, Wesley, Norris,Ward, Head), I think that he's better than Norris, Ward and Wesley...
he will look for a place witch he can play big time in. he also would like at least the same amount of money maccabi are giving him. all in all,he could take some cuts because he really is dominated far enough in europe and would be always rememberd,he left his mark for sour,now he want's the shot to make somthing happen where the big play is,and he can if a team is willing to give him minuts...
Even if he does get 20-25 mpg, i wouldn't expect him to average more than 10 points and 4-5 assists per game.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting hollaholla1:</div><div class="quote_post">he will prob only play 6-10 years</div> that's alot too...no one except him to have 15 years in the league if he does get in i think the max is 8.
Guys, I think you're forgetting his age. At 29, I don't expect him to be in the league for more than 4 years.
only 4 years? are you kidding? that would make him 33. plus he has longlivity. he's a shooter, and shooters last longer in this league (ex. reggie miller). and only 10 PPG? I expect a lot more from him. a lot of people call him the best shooter in the world. if he is, he'll average plenty more than 10PPG. i expect around 15 PPG.
I would not call him only a shooter. He has great courtvision and he is one of the best passer I've seen in the game today.
