2. Nemanja Bjelica will contribute in almost every facet of the game effectively,

Bjelica was the EuroLeague MVP in 2015. He has won medals, championships, and has conquered the world stage.

He is a jack-of-all-trades on the court. A good shooter, solid point-forward type of player that rebounds and blocks shots. He can guard all five positions if needed and sees the floor more like Ricky Rubio than Shabazz Muhammad.

Manny (a new nickname I’m trying out) is still learning English, a new coach, and the NBA game all at once. He is going from being the best guy on the court to being the new guy and that usually requires transition time.

The other night, he looked awesome against the Magic during an overtime win. Bjelica is very good and if he (and we as fans) stay patient, he won’t disappoint.
