I just re-watched the 6 min highlight reel of Petrovic.
IMVHO:
The pro's:
- very active
- drives the lane fearlessly
- agile and quick enough to navigate around traffic
- strong enough to finish thru traffic
The con's:
- didn't see much facilitating
- didn't come close to dunking - really think he is nowhere near 6'3"
- noone was playing much D against him
Net:
- glad to have him
- don't think he is going to take over for Bam

I agree with most of your read but He’s really good in the pick and roll and facilitation- if you watch the Jovic highlights posted on here the first portion is all Petrovic setting him up for dunks

Yep. I got to find that Ignore button. @Dan please give us a thumbs down. And please don't close this tread. We could be heading toward classic territory.

He has had at least 9 assists in each of his last 5 games…

Great stats, for sure, and I really hope they translate to B1G play.
I am just sayin', from his highlight video only, I don't recall many assists other than a something like a 6 ft pass laterally along the 3 pt line to a guy more open than he was. I mean, this is his highlight reel, right? Where are the alley oops, the feed into the lane, the kickback out of the lane, the cross court pass, the no look pass? Not much in the highlight reel. That's all I'm saying. Bam and Tomi do that stuff multiple times a game.
Additional Pro's are the kid seems to have good handles and a nose for the ball - more reasons I'm glad we have him.

I mean as he doesn't turn the ball over and still puts up good assists numbers I don't care if they aren't highlight reel flashy passes.

Doesn’t always need to be flashy. He takes care of the ball that’s all that matters with good numbers to back it up

We are, once again, getting really old. That seems a bit lost in all the fanfare. We have to be one of the oldest teams in the game, and I love it.

Yep. Just like that. We're going to have a bunch of men on the court with a lot of experience.

I'm sure Chicago has them, but St Louis has a great Balkan restaurant and quite a few Bosnian restaurants and a huge Balkan community.

If they get homesick, just drive a few hours to make them feel at home.

Well. Hear are my thoughts.

This is a B1G title contender that could possibly get up to a 3 seed.

Hope they are giving returning players enough NIL to keep them from resenting the high rolling portal players coming in.
