Its suprising how nobody talking about him. He coming from the great preformance in Uleb Cup against Italian club. He scored 24 points and pull six rebounds. Actually he played better in Uleb Cup then Adriatic legue. Uleb Cup is stronger competition. He enjoy great sesaon. And this is his first serious profesional sesaon. He is listed as 6"11 but to me he is nore 7 ft. He is very well built. His s ball handling skills are excellent for the guy of his size. And he is a great shoter. Its to bad he gets littke attention on draft express articles.To me he is one of the most serious draft prospects this year in Europe. He will be drafted.

yea zoran erceg has been playing well all season and has probably entered draft talk as a late second rounder to undrafted guy. he has a cieling of a borderline allstar.

he has a high basketball IQ, skilled, versatile (inside/outside), runs the floor good, can shoot out to 3 (is streaky), slasher, can post up, good ballhandler, good midrange game (pullup jumper), clutch, moves well without the ball, plays hard, poor defender, needs to add strength/weight, soft, not very athletic or explosive.

likely impact in the NBA is of a finesse bigman.

Is he even a Steve Novak?

BTW, thanks for updating the draft.

It says PF/C, but at 6'11, 196, could he play C in the league. And I don't mean against "centers" like Bosh and Krstic (they are natural PF's forced to play C at times), but could he play against actual pound-for-pound centers?

i have also seen him listed at 6-11 235lbs and his european profile has him as 6-11 210lbs so who knows what his real weight is. i think his cieling down the road is like mehmet okur.

If you had a mid to late 2nd round pick, who would you take if both were available, Fesenko, or Erceg?

[coachjon]

i would go with erceg because he is more polished offensively than fesenko is right now.

he is much more agile than Okur, better ballhandler and can actually put the ball on the floor and create his own shot. His shot is quicker than Okur, but Mehmet is better in about every other part of the game.
