i don't think anybody is insinuating that the kings should sign him, as this is in the nba forum.
skita is a bust. plain and simple. european players are tricky, and it seems strange because they largely appear to come to the nba with a good understanding of the game. their coaches don't teach them anything about fire and determination, though, which is why so many european players are construed as "softies." many of them know how to shoot the ball, but few of them understand what the hustle game is all about. europe doesn't teach that when they teach basketball. when you first come into the nba, unless you're going to be an immediate difference maker, you build your reputation and get your minutes based on what kind of hustle you can provide, regardless of background. manu ginobili is a rare european commodity in that he grasped the hustle aspect of building a reputation. much of that must be credited to gregg popovich, but many euro players would have folded under pop's intense tutelage, so manu's resilience is also commendable. scouting europe has to be one of the more difficult scouting positions in the nba.
I think he's only 23, tho.
