Whoa there: Jan Vesely *won’t* be entering the 2010 NBA draft after all

April 26, 2010

In a press release sent to Draft Express this evening, the talented young Czech explained that, despite most mock drafts projecting him as a lottery to Top-15 pick at worst, he feels he can still improve his game before entering the big league.

Said Vesely: “After consulting with my coach Mr. Dusan Vujosevic, my agent and my family, who has always been very supportive of me in every decision that I have made in the past, I made the decision not to enter the 2010 NBA Draft.

“I have decided to stay and play for my club Partizan for the next season.

“Basketball is my life, something that is very important to me, and I want to continue to learn more.

“My coach Dusan Vujosevic and all of the staff of BC Partizan have been great to me ever since I have arrived to Belgrade, Serbia. Because of my coaches, my teammates and the best fans in the world, Belgrade is a place that I will always call home.

“Playing in the NBA has been my dream since I started to play basketball. But, to be ready for this, I feel now is the time for me to continue to work hard to realize that goal in near future.”

Well, BallinEurope doesn’t know how the folks in, say, Clippers, Jazz and Pacers land feel about this deletion, but Partizan Belgrade grades have gotta be loving the prospect of perhaps *the* top 1990-born European forward around for another season.

    I agree he is the top forward of his year, since no one else plays in such level, and Jan not only went to final 4 of Euroleague, but also has contributed a lot to the team.

    jan is a great player and will be a great star in future,i watched almost all his games this season cause i am from serbia,he is amazing on fastbreak,and rebouding,blocking shots,his 3 poin shooting is becoming better,also his drives are better then last year,he is 2 10 cm and he plays 3 😀 how many players in europe with that height play 3 ?? and also i would like to sat you could make some article of nemanja bjelica of red star he is amazing too,the guy is 2 09 cm and plays 1,2,3 and 4 position!!!!!!!! that is increnble,he has such a future so if you could do that i will apriciete it .
