Re: BBC Says Celtics To Sign Dejan Kurtorovic

["hironaka@xxxxxxxxx"<hironaka@xxxxxxxxx>]

Below is Telebasket.com's scouting report on Dejan "Grey 
Poupon" Koturovic.

They list him at 7-0 and just 210 pounds. That can't be 
right. That's about as skinny as humanly possible. 

I have to say Mustard Boy left no impression on me in the 
Yugo-USA game. What impressed me in general, was how puny 
the Americans looked standing next to some of Slobo's 
guys. I wish I had recorded more of the games. I'm sure 
there were guys out there whom we'll see more of in the 
future.

p.s. to Josh. Whatever you do, don't start overtly 
criticizing Chris Wallace too much in your column. You 
have achieved direct access to him, which is highly 
appreciated. So keep up the Fifth Column/Resistance. Now 
if only someone could buddy up with Richard Pond Scum. I 
wonder what its like, "male bonding" with that guy?

Dejan Koturovic
Size and Athletic Abilities 
Big and nice body, with excellent size, wide shoulders 
and long arms. Mobile, can run the floor. Not very tough. 

Offense 
faster and more mobile than most big man, relies on his 
quickness rather than his strenght. Not a great low post 
player, tends to take fade away shots. Can hit them, 
though, thanks to a soft hand. Coordinated, can control 
his body in fast break situations. 

Defense 
A quick defender, can block some shots, but is not very 
solid in keeping his position. 

Notes 
Koturovic has great tools, not so many big men have such 
a coordination ad so good hands. He lacks physical 
strenght and determination, though. A good high level 
player, anyway.

playing with Sapartak Subotica (1990-95) and KK Partizan

02 was under contract with Alba Berlin but has been
