Your right we didn't draft Gortat. He was sent to us via cash considerations by Phoenix. I wonder how much. He is so popular he now has his own Wiki page!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcin_GortatAt the shooting range Rakovic practices with M-60's and Grenade Launchers instead of sissy handguns like Gortat!!!

I'll be the first to admit I thought Gortat was garbage for a long time, but I wasn't aware Marcin was such a gifted athlete. Any time you have an athletic 7-footer, he can help your team if the coach uses him properly. But, Gortat has also demonstrated he is surpisingly skilled, & an all around great team guy. Is Rakovic athletic or is he a big stiff??? No idea. I'm sure I'll be labeled a racist for this... But, all the Serbian players seem to have a lot of common character flaws. Questionable desire, work ethic, bad teammates, & incredibly moody. They all seem to be tough, but they lack an ounce of competitiveness. Darko came to be known as the "Incredible Sulk" in Memphis. They brought in Marko Jaric hoping it would help him assimilate to the team, city, life in the US & he got worse. Pavlovic's career has been dogged by the same issues.  "I'm still intirigued about Ryan Anderson. Only problem is he may be just a little more physical version of Brian Cook." - SmackDaddy "I think he's much better than those two (Garrity & Cook). I think he'll be a much bigger asset than Battie. I still think he's a finesse player who fails to address the Magic's need". - KITNO (epic RA hater) Sig: An AddiFB Joint |

For what I've seen and heard of them in Europe, unfortunately Rakovic is no Gortat at all. His skillset is not so developed as Marcin was before heading to America, and it's not athletic like him. I think that the Magic will choose the same path they'd taken with the Warlock. Give him a shoot in the summer league, sending him back to Europe and let him develop with playing time. Just my opinion.

But I heard all the same stuff when people talked about Gortat...he was a stiff, no athletic ability etc. I'm only going to trust my eyes when he plays in the summer league!
