Comparisons are drawn to Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker along the way, although La Bomba (great nickname) is smaller than the former and seemingly less athletic than the latter. ...

... I think that the three Euros who have experience performing well in the Euroleague - Belinelli, Rudy Fernandez, Splitter - will end up being three of the best value picks of this year's draft when all is said and done, and I also think that Juan Carlos Navarro will be a solid offensive weapon in the league, too (thanks to the guys at Bullets Forever for inviting us yayhoos to offer a quick JCN scouting report in their space). ...
