TepiÄ is a question for me. When he played in Belgrad, Serbs was calling him one of the best shooting guards in Europe. As I see things, he's only decent shooter at the best scenario (average if compered with greats - Navarro, Macijauskas). Then when he came to PAO, he was used at 3 and maybe 2 for some minutes and he hasn't find him self all season long if you would ask me. He's still young and he will say his word, but he's not a big leader as Serbs were talking, he is all- rounded, hardworking players, IMO lacking exceptional kills for being so special as Serbs expect. And I really would choose Calathis instead of TepiÄ for PG. Calathis is natural born PG, what you can't say about TepiÄ.

Tepic is a shooting guard that can't shoot. He's not a point guard and he's not a small forward. He's clearly a shooting guard and he has to develop his outside shot.
Calathes is a point guard, but he is clearly a scoring point guard. He is a score first point guard without any question. He is basically the same player as Saras, except much faster and quicker, much better on defense, and a much worse shooter. But the same playing style.
So yes, natural point guard, but a score first/shoot first point guard.
