Pretty ordinary name for a Croatian dude.  Sounds like a weak 7 footer who shoots to many outside shots to me I really don't like the european style of play at the 4 spot considering we already have a stretch 4 that can't shoot.  First Mullens, then McRoberts, now this guy.   Yes you want a guy to hit a 15 to 20 footer relatively consistently, but not a guy that gets easily rooted out of the post and has no put back strength.

The NBA's high priest of lineup data was the first person to point this out to me, in 2009; Wayne Winston's theory of NBA lineups is basically if you play two or more guys who can't shoot, the lineup is very likely to perform poorly, even if it's loaded with good players. More recently Winston looked up lineups with four shooters, and found they were almost all excellent. 

And that's against any and all defenses.

A few years ago Dwight Howard and a bunch of otherwise unremarkable 3-point shooters had one of the best offenses in recent NBA history.

The Warriors' playoff run only took off when an injury to David Lee forced them to start four 3-point shooters.

The Heat haven't lost a playoff series since they adopted a strategy of playing 3-point shooters with their superstars.

you need guys who can shoot. Read the excerpt I posted from "live by the 3, or die"

7 foot and only 9 rebounds in the D league?!?!?!? He must be soft.

That would make him the league's second-highest rebounder (since Dedmon has also been called up), there just aren't a lot of rebounds there. He also has twice the sample size (37 games) that Dedmon has (15), and also has a sizeable advantage on Howell (20).

He CAN shoot threes, but he's no Mullens. He only shoots two per game. Most of his damage is from underneath the basket. He's also eighth in D-League scoring. Pretty nice pickup.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years.  Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons.  In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be

      Moton's knees were an issue before last season. He will be 32 before the season starts and gets 14.2M in '26 and 21.5M for '27 (not guaranteed). LT Icky and Rasheed Walker are signed through '26 and Freeling through '30 (option); LG Lewis signed through '28, C Fortner through '26 and Hecht through '29; RG Hunt through '28, RG Moton through '27.  They did a good job shoring up that oline.  We can have a starting oline of: LT Freeiling, LG Lewis, C Hecht, RG Hunt, and RT Moton pretty much locked up through the '27 season (will just take a Moton option to do). That's good because we need to be ready to pull the trigger with next year's QB class.
