So, Sasha stays

  • Posted by Anthony Bass on July 26th, 2008 filed in Sasha Vujacic

Sasha VujacicSasha Vujacic is staying in the United States to the tune of $15 million for 3 years.

Honestly, I don’t know if that’s equal value but I know this - Sasha has the heart.  He’s not afraid to shoot it. He (just recently) mixes it up on defense. He also has improved his three-point shooting.

The way I see it is this. You don’t train a killer just to let him go away. You train, then, use him.

Hopefully, his experience in the Lakers’ deep playoff run (OK, finals) will only make him better. Phil Jackson always say Sasha is one of the best players in practice. I believe Phil - there are players like that. Last season, Sasha showed us he can play (although a bit erratic).

Shooting and defending can be taught and learned.  Having a heart? It’s innate. You can’t put a price on that.

    Am glad Sasha stayed. I think he’s still playing at least 30% below his potential. Should be interesting to watch next year.

    Great blog man :)
