Hooped Up

Goran who?  I have never seen or heard of this guy before draft night but, for him to be the future replacement for Steve Nash he’s gotta be pretty good.  Right?

After much wrangling, more than a few doubts and some international diplomacy, the Suns finally have landed the player they expect to be Steve Nash’s backup this year. A source confirmed to Sporting News that Slovenian point guard Goran Dragic — whose rights were acquired in June in a draft-night trade with the Spurs — is intent on signing a contract of at least three years to play in Phoenix next year. There are still some administrative details to resolve for Dragic to get out of his European contract. He then must settle on a definitive contract with the Suns.
