2009-2010 Player Predictions: Vladimir Radmanovic

[ziggy]

We did this a couple of years back for each player as we approached training camp and it was fun, so what the heck lets give it a try again... It beats the shit out of talking about Rashad McCants :rolleyes:

First up Vladimir Radmanovic

Give everyone your best case scenario, worst case scenario and most importantly your prediction of what you think this player will do on the court this upcoming season.
As the season progresses, we'll be able to refer back to these threads to see who had the best handle on what the players were going to do on the court.
We'll add another player on the Bobcat's roster each day until we get predictions for the entire team.

Best Case: He becomes a top 6th man candidate, he manages to give quality backup minutes at the PF spot and he eliminates the occasional lapses that tend to drive LB a little insane. 14.5ppg.

Worst case: he gets buried on the bench behind UPS and *gasp* Lexi, he sulks and gets handed the gold plated key to the Sean May suite of Larry Brown's doghouse.
3.8ppg, 39% from the field.

My prediction: 9.4 ppg, 46.0fg%. I think he'll do a solid job backing up the SF spot, but I think his inability to play significant minutes at PF will prevent him from making any huge statistical improvements this year

I don't really like the guy, I wish we would trade him for a draft pick but I will pull for him since he's a Bobcat.

Best case 7th or 8th off the beanch. Average 6ppg 2 boards
Worst case , Plays only scrap mins averages 2ppg 1 board


MY prediction , He slips behind UPS and Alexas on the debth chart. Don;t finish the season as part of the rotation

[TattoodCats4life]

I think if Larry can't get him to do what he wants and get 8-10 ppg and at least 7-10 PF minutes out of him we'll probably trade him near the deadline. Hopefully he keeps up his 3 pt shooting that he never had before and we find a good spot for him to thrive, unlike his last team.

5 points a game in his bench role. If someone gets hurt, he shall step up and average 10.

[mrtarheel]

I see him being our backup sf while UPS is groomed for that spot. I see a trade coming so he doesn't get time at the 4.

10 ppg 2 reb 1ast up until tradedealine or UPS becomes the man

[Double_Trouble]

I think he could be the go to guy of the bench. If used correctly he can be a match up problem at the sf position. He is a really good three point shooter but I think there is more to his game. I would like to see him drive to the basket more and use is length to make more high percentage shots. He will never be a back to the basket pf, but has skills to come off screens and be productive at the sf position. If he could rebound the ball he can see some playing time this year.

prediction (14 mpg):
10 ppg 4 reb 2 ast

[GoBobs]

Best Case: We showcase his talents making him look more like the player who somebody wanted to sign to that insane contract. We are able to trade him for cap space or maybe even an asset.

Worst Case: He becomes frustrated with lack of playing time and becomes a cancer. We trade him for another sucky player who needs a fresh start with a slightly larger and longer contract.

[WhatTheHeel74]

Best case 7th or 8th off the beanch. Average 6ppg 2 boards
Worst case , Plays only scrap mins averages 2ppg 1 board


MY prediction , He slips behind UPS and Alexas on the debth chart. Don;t finish the season as part of the rotation

Hey who's nickname is UPS?

[spectre]

Derrick Brown..."what can UPS do for you?".

[WhatTheHeel74]

Derrick Brown..."what can UPS do for you?".

Haha... okay thanks.

Best: He supplants Diaw as the PF and scores 17 ppg, with much improved defense.
Worst: He never plays and demands a trade

Prediction: He plays a lot to begin the year, but after UPS makes an impression, he fades away and ends up with about 6 ppg.

[Walt Cronkite]

No way does he ever surpass Diaw. That's waaay crazier than any realistic bcs.

Radmanovic doesn't seem like much of an LB player to me. I can't think of a player that he's had on his team with that type of skill set.

BCS: Bobcats win a lot of games with him getting 7th or 8th most minutes in total over the season. He plays only to give Wallace or Diaw a rest with the rest of the starters so they can cover for his defensive inability.

WCS: His shot continues to fail him and he gets even slower. We eventually trade him for a knee jerk player with a longer contract that isn't much better.
