From DraftExpress...good mix for 58. And furthers the Euro trend...
"...Averaging 12.2 points and 3.5 assists per game this season, Jaramaz had a solid season with Mega before his strong showing at the Eurocamp...Standing 6'4.5 in shoes with a 6'5.5 wingspan, Jaramaz doesn't have great length relative to his height, but is oversized for the point guard spot nonetheless, and is still longer than the average player at his position. Possessing a solid frame and terrific speed and explosiveness, the Krusevac native has a strong combination of physical tools for the next level...Playing primarily on the ball, but also moving off of it alongside Kostja Mushidi this season in the Mega Leks backcourt, Jaramaz did his best work as a slasher and pushing the ball in transition, utilizing his athleticism with the ball in his hands...Jaramaz's value as a prospect is based largely in his ability to turn the corner and attack gaps to get to the rim in the half court. A fearless penetrator with a strong first step and frame...The most relevant skill Jaramaz will need to polish to reach his long-term potential is his jump shooting...As much of a mixed bag as Jaramaz is offensively, he already does some positive things applying his physical tools defensively. Possessing good lateral quickness and showing the ability to pressure the ball away from the rim, Jaramaz brings a solid motor to the defensive end, doing his best to fight over screens and having the size to defend both guard spots with some success." - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Ognjen-Jaramaz-66867/ ©DraftExpress
Franshilla said that the league this guy plays in has produced Nikola Jokic and (if I recall correctly) Jusuf Nurkic. So what we saw him doing against their competition should be held in some type of regard. I got to say, I find myself liking this Jaramez guy.

Ron Baker is not a rotation player on a good team. We should be trying to upgrade those minutes
Another diamond find for Pjax and his scouts?
It is interesting that NY is building a Euro heavy team. KP, Willy, FN, Jaramaz, Kuz. Did I miss any? It is apparent to me, that what they teach in Europe is fundamentals. They do not let the players play ISO ball and the emphasis is on team ball.
What did Phil say? Not looking for guys who can jump out of the building but instead KNOW how to play the game. All the Euro's know how to play.
Ntilikina is young but far more developed than most 18 years olds, just like KP and Willy. He is held back on his team as that is the way it is done there. Once he gets acclimated to the NBA, he will be not only fine but my guess is he will thrive.
This JAramarz kid is a bit older so my guess is he is ready to play now. We will see but NY now has 4 point guards. I am pretty sure Rose wont be resigned....Thank You!!
Frank and this guy are the top 2 PG's rated international PG's.
Please trade Melo ASAP!! Please please please. Don't let him contaminate any more players.
