Should I say now something like "greetings from Poland"?

In next two-three years you will have in NBA someone else from Poland, I`m pretty sure;-) You know ... "All roads lead to Rome" we can change for "All polish basketball players lead to Phoenix" ;-)

About that :
Polish teams played well in the past two years in european and world youth championships. I`ll show you few guys who might play in NBA, and if they will ... it`s obviously they`ll play in PHX

eurohopes.com/player/1028/przemyslaw-karnowski/
This is young center who was voted the best center in 2009 European Championship u-16 and with the team has been second in 2010 World Championship u-17; he is on the 4th position on this site-ranking for European youth basketball players in 1993. (there is no draft express ranking for 1993 still ;-) ).

The next one is Mateusz Ponitka. He was voted the best player on one of these championships (I can`t remember on which one).

Except these two guys in top 50 for 1993 european youth ranking there is a place for Michalak, Gielo and Niedzwiedzki - you can keep you eyes on this names, one of them will play in NBA soon. I hope Ponitka and Karnowski cuz this guys rocks.

At International Rankings (DraftExpress.com) there are another two Poles :
* Jakub Wojciechowski (he is playing in Italy in Benetton Treviso - one of the best Italian team) - he is 17th in ranking for Internationals in `90 for Draft.
* Piotr Pamula (he is playing in Poland) - he is ranked 20th. All-tournament 1st team in European Champ. in 2010 (3rd place for Polish team)

---

So I hope that after Gortat there`ll be another big center (Karnowski, Wojciechowski) and some shooter who will play better then Lampe (Ponitka, Pamula).
Next Gortat in 2-3 year, is it ok?;P

Hopefully Dwayne Collins will be Gortat's backup soon.

Trade Lopez away & bring back Collins!!
