We have a good team Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson....They took Marc Jackson, I think. I spent the summer in Serbia, so I havent talked a lot to the guys down there. But Marc Jackson, McInnis, the first-round pick we got....I think we'll have a very good team</div> For Full Interview ------------- It should be an interesting 2nd year for Nenad, there are alot of expectation on him this year....going into last year nobody, including myself, really figured him to have any impact at all, let alone be a starter like he became after Zo went down. But this year, for alot of fans, he is the hope of our frontcourt, since we did not land that impact bigman, we needed. So alot of unrealistic things at times is going to be expected from him..it will be interesting to see how he handles it.
I sure hope that he comes in with the right frame of mine to training camp. I really like the guy's honesty. And I think that it is very good that he is capable of comprehending what can go wrong on a team. Kristic's numbers were disappointing during the championship, but the most important thing is that he did not get stressed out physically. My expectations for him are very high for this season. Not only do I think that he has the mental aspect of his game set, but skillwise he should be much better. I think that well see more big games from him, but still see a chunk of bad games. The reason I say this is because I do not think that he has developed into a consistent player. Speculation aside, it should be interesting to see how he fares this season.
This kid'll be a nice fantasy pickup. He's a talented Euro and playing in the right place on the right time. He'll be relied on heavily, way ahead of Collins.
