It wasn't due to racism that Caidic wasn't chosen by the NBA scouts. The 80s NBA had nowhere near as bad the racism that the likes of Russell and The Big O had during their era. Allan Caidic is an outstanding shooter, even to this day he could still shoot the lights out. But he simply didn't have the physical gifts to play his natural position: SG/SF at the NBA level. He is only 6'2, he would've had to play PG. He never developed the hands nor the speed to play point. He's a shooter.

allan triggerman caidic is a mold of reggei miller. chris mullin and peja stajacovic in their prime in one....... if only caidic is 6'6 i bet he will be one of the best player in nba....... a pure shooter that are rare in the universe.......

2010 NBA Asia Challenge, August 29, 2010. Allan Caidic > 52 points, 14 triples. Teammate Glen Rice: "He's the man". Chris Webber: "It was Triggerman time. I hate him already". Gary Payton: "It was all about the Trigger, the Trigger. It was an unbelieveable display of outside shooting. I rarely see an exhibition like that." Caidic also beat Glen Rice in the 3 point contest.

caidic is 6'2 shooting guard not forward. at times he also plays point guard.

OK, the man could definitely shoot, but it's just one aspect of the sport, and would've needed alot more to be NBA ready. He didn't have the physique, durability, and stamina, to not only play 82 games a year, but also bump heads with the NBA pros. It pains me to say, but sorry Allan. If it's any consolation, you're still my basketball hero though.

as much as i love Allan Caidic, I don't think he would've been able to compete in the NBA. At his size, he would've had to play point, he never really developed a point's handle of the ball. For the sake of argument, let's just say that he's a 6'8 guard/forward instead, he still would have had to defend and score against Drexler, Miller at the guard spots, and Pippen, Thomas, and Jordan.

Allan Caidic was good enough to play in the NBA.

That being said, he's no Reggie Miller or Eddie Jones.

At best, by the time his career was over in the NBA, they would probably compare him to Peja Stojakovic or Linas Kleiza. These players are 6'6 and above, which doesnt mean that you have to be tall to be good.

He'd fit in as a role player, but to dominate in his prime, which were the days that magic and Jordan still were there? That is not very likely.
