This guy must be smoking or something....defense not being part of the NBA?? What about the days of Jordan and the bulls?? What about ppl like dennis rodman?? Look at the US playing in the qualifying rounds now...nothing but D buddy....stop talking out of your ass...
nba defense is nothing against european.. nba is typical shot and run basketball with far less tactics in play as in europe. But its true that your basketball players are really fast and good hitters, but when they face to an oponnents that are good hitters as well and that they can play defensive (not nba like) they cant do much. As we could saw on last wc.
wtf? you have it completely opposite. the reason european prospects are so heavily critiqued iis because there is more of a faster game in euope than in nba. nba play is slower and that is because of DEFENSE seriusly have any of you ever WATCHED EUROPEAN BASKETBALL?
who cares if he replaces j-rich or not. we freed up 10 million in cap space for the next 3 years to sign monta, biedrins, and whoever else we need. good enough for me!
i've never heard something so stupid and racist before! (well i have, but still...) how come that the last olympics and world championships have been won by teams with zero black players on their roster (argentina and spain)? oh, btw, if you don't know, spain is in europe..oh, italy and greece were the other 2 finalists, not team usa (both european...). YOu should respect european basketball, as at the moment it's superior to american (at a national level, not in terms of league), i'm sorry...
that's why aaron brooks was a 2nd rounder, he just didn't have a first round grade. Nelson likes players who are versatile and can play several positions. Brooks is what...6'0? Can't exactly play more than the point now can he?
sorry dude but we pick higher than you do and the rockets already him on the list. the only competition we have is utah they pick one spot higher than us, and they are into him too.
maybe in the nba he'll improve so much in difense,but u are wrong if u think this because during the regoular season in the nba the teams don't defende strong
Lets not get too high on this guy...he looks good, like a solid prospect, but he's gotta be careful, they seem to be moving his game more out to the perimeter lately, and he risks becoming a one-dimensional shooter ala Redick...A shame cuz he has the potential to be a great slasher in the style of a Ginobili or Wade...I'd take him late in the first round (he can play D a bi too, but he hasn't mastered it yet) and give him a year or 2 to develop in Italy (good league there)...
He is not impressive. At least with this highlight all you see is shooting, no extra facets to his game. 3 assists per game... that sucks. he's a guard, he can't possibly be a 2 in the NBA. Maybe I'd draft him in the 2nd round, but def. not a 1st pick for me.
3 assists per game in europe is a decent number, as the way assist are counted is different in europe (a pass to a player who scores a 3 is NOT an assist...it has to be a pass that puts a player in front of the basket)
Bellinelli before he hit the league.

you right...i would compare this guy to JJ Redick because he can only shoot in the Nba they would just guard him closer.

I'm italian but I don't think Italian players are all like Bargnani.
Belinelli is overrated.
He can't play in the NBA, he's not fast, and he doesn't know what defense is.
I'm sure if he'll go in the NBA he'll come back in Europe two monthes later.
You can't compare him to Kobe Bryant.
