Who wants Pero Vacilevecic on the Sixers team i think he would fit in great. Chris Anstey thinks Pero is good enough for the NBA and thinks that Pero would be the best Centre in the NBL.

Chris Anstey must be crazy.
But Pero is a good player and would be great to see him and a good import play for the Sixers. Is it possible to have Majstrovic and Pero plus a good import?

nup, considering there are gonna spend max or close to on import and pero would want close to max as well which would price him out

Pero would be good but we don't really want a centre who chucks up 2 or more 3's a game! However yes his boards would help.

Pero needs to complete his first reader, graduate the sandpit and recess before he can go to the next level.

So are you saying you wouldn't want Chris Anstey 52-Cans???

Panther - I think it's acceptable to have a 5 man who shoots an OK percentage from 3 land (EG - Anstey, who shoots 35%) but not one who chucks them up willie nillie (EG - Pero, who made 7 of 45 attempts last season, 16%). It's like coach Manning giving you the green-light to jack up triples. Not pretty! :)
Whilst I think Pero talent-wise would be a handy pickup, I don't see him fitting in with the current crop of players, nor with the coaching staff or system.
If pero's mind was up to his dunking and enthusiasm and rebounding stronger, he would be great, but i feel they are still a bookshelf or three short of a library here!
No one wants Pero, thats why he is rarely at a team for more than one season...
He has potential, but unfortunatly lacks the brains to make the most of his potential!
The sixers aren't that desperate are they?

peros team mates love him. He brings great energy and action to any team on and off the court.
hoop, he got 49% from the field and averaged 10 rebounds. Thats a double double. Pretty handy around the basket for any nbl program.
if any program takes a risk and sign him to a 2 or 3 yr deal you would think he could just be the thing to help them.

BB - sure, but the issue of him shooting 3's is different altogether. 52-Cans made the point that Pero shoots too many 3's, which I think he does. If he was semi-successful at it (like Anstey) then it may be tolerable.
I think he's talented enough to be a starter in the NBL, but he has & always will make bonehead mistakes (like shooting 3's when he should be working inside), and I don't see him fitting into the 6ers program, expecially after the Wheeler signing. To add to that, I think Daws and/or Smyth have previously ruled him out as a candidate for a 36ers gig.
The only way we'd be getting Pero would be at the expense of an import, which wouldn't seem a wise move.
