What can you tell me, dear friends, about Roc Stipcevic from Zadar?

Can he be fit to the EL level?

David Blatt was impresed from him, and I won't be surprise if he'll be candidate to Maccabi.

He played very good in EuroCup this season and he can be very good Euroleague's level shooting guard. I would like him to see in Euroleague.

I guess no. He's shooting guard. I don't see amny point guard skills in his game, he's typical shooting guard. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
