What’s up with Gordan Giricek?
August 1, 2008
Within the last 24 hours we’ve gotten about 1000 search requests within our in-site search engine about Gordan Giricek. Why?!
Well, Gordan Giricek played for the Phoenix Suns last season, averaging 3.4 points per game and 1.4 rebounds per game. So what makes the 198cm Croatian so interesting? Well, probably the fact that he is Croatian and playing in the NBA. Every single European NBA player has been linked to leaving the NBA for an Euroleague or Eurocup team this season.
Christophe has the guard of the Phoenix Suns already among his possible moves for 2008/09 and puts him on the shopping list of Unicaja Malaga, Spain. But he also seems to be on the table for David Blatt and his Dynamo Moscow team.
This would not be the first trip to a Euroleague team for Gordan, as he has played for big-time teams such as CSKA Moscow before.
Here is my rating for Gordan coming to Europe:  |
