Flash Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) After consulting with my coach Mr. Dusan Vujosevic, my Agent and my family, who has always been very supportive of me in every decision that I have made in the past, I made the decision not to enter the 2010 NBA Draft. I have decided to stay and play for my club BC Partizan for the next season. Basketball is my life, something that is very important to me, and I want to continue to learn more. My Coach Dusan Vujosevic and all of the staff of BC Partizan have been great to me ever since I have arrived to Belgrade, Serbia. Because of my coaches, my teammates and the best fans in the world, Belgrade is a place that I will always call home. Playing in the NBA has been my dream since I started to play basketball. But, to be ready for this, I feel now is the time for me to continue to work hard to realize that goal in near future.

Flash Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Interesting move to say the least. Looks like Motiejunas is the only international player with a chance to be taken in the lottery this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Smart move if he doesn't get hurt. To me, he looks like a player with a very nice upside, but isn't quite NBA-ready yet. If he went to the league right away, chances are he's not going to get as much playing time to develop as he would in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bomba Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Good because a lot of mocks had the Grizzlies taking him and I'm simply not intrigued by this prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DX now has you taking Motiejunas...I got hammered for that in my mock but that's beside the point. Your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thoughts?I actually don't mind that pick because our depth at PF is horrible and we need a shooter badly. Him being a bad rebounder isn't an issue since we're already a top rebounding team in the league. Plus, Randolph is also on contract year. But, I would much rather see us take a shooting guard and move Mayo to point or just draft a point guard if Eric Bledsoe is available.

LOL, you should've posted that in my mock thread which eventually got turned into a me vs. Motiejunas thread and a how dumb can you be for saying the Grizzlies draft him. Oh well.

La Bomba Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 If Bledsoe is available, I would like the Grizzlies to draft him. We need some depth at point guard and Bledsoe could even be the starter. Motiejunas is a nice pick because he gives us some depth at power forward and a shooter, which is one of our needs. And Gay isn't likely out this offseason. It's actually looking like he will likely stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Sucks for us. Vesely was easily a late lottery pick, with him dropping out we basically moved back a spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
