Boston, Massachussetts - Not a game played, yet the Boston Celtics acquire Goran Dragic via trade. While Avery Bradley, Gerald Wallace and a futre first are on their way to Phoenix, the Dragon will join the Celtics. On top the franchise got 5 million more capspace next offseason and dont need to pay Bradleys extension. Experts already rate the trade as an overpay and even call it an "overkill", but GM Dennis is sure Dragic will be a great fit next to Bostons franchise player Rajon Rondo.
While Dragic wont be a superstar in a league with guys like Lillard, Wall, Irving who are extraordinary players in the making or a guy like Chris Paul, who is maybe the best player the CSL will ever see, Goran is one of the best rounded guys. He wont be the leader in any category, but he will do a little bit of everything.
Comparison
Goran Dragic 74 SCR, 77 PASS, 77 HDL, 77 DI, 76 IQ, 63 DEF, 69 STL
Deron Williams 70 SCR, 67 PASS, 78 HDL, 83 DI, 82 IQ, 76 DEF, 59 STL
Derrick Rose 81 SCR, 73 PASS, 69 HDL, 90 DI, 71 IQ, 77 DEF, 53 STL
There are only two guys with a better Pass/Handling combination then Goran, Jose Calderon and Steve Nash. While there are more guys with a better IQ/DI combination, Dragic is the only player with 70+ scoring, 75+ handling, 75+ pass, 60+ defense, 65+ steal, 75+ IQ and 75+ DI. The borders may look a bit random, but it shows how well rounded Dragic's game is. Another point is his high efficiency. Looking at last year NBAs shooting percentages (50%FG, 41%3FG) he could become one of CSL most effective guards, if he's able to keep it going in the CSL.
