Dragic Update (Olympic Qualifying)

[Irish]

Slovenia got knocked out by Puerto Rico in their third game after beating So Korea and Canada. Dragic's overall stats in just under 19 minutes a game were:

6.5 ppg
1.7 rpg
2.7 apg

66.7% shooting
50.0% for three
100% FT

Overall, Slovenia scored the fourth most points in the 12 team qualifying tournament at 81.3 ppg and had the second highest shooting percentage at 59.1%. Dragic shot the three well, but the rest of his team did not at only 31%.

The starting PG for Slovenia was the 30 year old Jaka LAKOVIC, but his stats don't impress. His 5 of 15 for three and just 5 assists in three games did not help Slovenia's cause. NESTEROVIC did well as did Slokar, but their starting guards did not shoot well.

Dragic did not overwhelm, but it looks like he did a credible job.

BTW, Arryo did not have a great series shooting in close, 5 of 15 for 2 but 11 of 22 for three. His 10 of 19 free throws was underwhelming.

How does Slovenia's knocking out affect our chances of getting dragic here?

It doesn't. No, I don't think it does. Nope. Nu-uh.

Maybe no information about Dragic has been forthcoming from the Suns because of Slovenia participating in the Olympics. If Slovenia is out of the Olympics and they own his rights, he may be released to the Suns for $500,000. I'm not sure of Tau's position anymore... if they have legal standing. I really believe Kerr has not given up on getting Dragic this season so there is still hope.
