Class of 2024 PF/C Petar Majstorovic (Serbia) SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (8/16/24)

Van Horn 3.0, but somehow more athletic.

LOL!!! 1st team AA and #2 pick in the NBA draft. And they are both white. Well done.

No smoking. No pizza either. It appears Petar is a chicken man.

So he's everywhere?

 

[Cusecuse44]

Really nice find by Red. I think he's gonna play this year. Euro IQ, good fundamentals, not a beanpole. Small ball 5, and even the 4. Love to see he's supporting the soccer and football teams too. Getting acclimated quickly. Welcome Petar!

I'm wondering if he'll get time at the top of the zone and run some point.

I think his skill set is more like Bird, but definitely a Van Horn like athlete.

It's really too bad Majstorovic is going to be one and done... We could have won the championship with him here a second year.

I hope the Celtics draft him. Tatum could use the help.

The Celt’s next white hype.

I loved Van Horn's game - hopefully, Petra will have Petro's confidence and attitude.

My wife's name is Petra and she was born in Germany. Petar is slightly a better basketball player than her.

Is she hot?

Umm, her name is Petra

 

[tbonezone]

Why do Euros always spell Peter wrong?

I feel like Peta is really enjoying being at Cuse so far. He’s soaking it in.

We ran into Peter last week when we were walking through the Melo Center. He introduced himself to us and was very friendly and courteous. I asked him directly if he was enjoying Syracuse and he said “I love it here”.

Kid seems so content and involved (on social media at least).

Any report how he's faring so far in practices? Year away / still developing or maybe ready to compete for leftover mins?

I’d be surprised if the reports aren’t positive. This kid looks the part in that tape of his over seas league.

Gotta love the SpongeBob reference!!

I think this kid is going to surprise. I see him as maybe a more likely rotation player than Davis.

That's quite a take.

What are you basing this off of? Jyare put up legit numbers in a good conference last season.

You have a bit of an obsessive crush with euro bigs… I’m sure he will be nice piece but he hasn’t played one minute of cbb vs a guy whose got 3 years of proven production

Davis is an "inside the line" type of forward. He's a solid player, but I see him as Bell insurance, if Bell isn't trying hard enough on defense.

This kid, Majstorovic, has skills and can shoot the three. He played in a professional B league in France. We have Freeman and Bell who can shoot 3's among the front court, but that's it.

That's why we needed a player of this profile in the squad. It's a skill set we were lacking, just like a traditional PG until we got Carlos. That's why the Knicks just traded Julius Randle (an average 3 point shooter) for Towns, an elite one.

Having a big man who can space the floor is essential in the modern game. It drives so many options on the pick & roll if your big can pop and make a three, not just dive to the basket.

Just like I thought Maliq Brown would be a big contributor from day one, when he was not our most heralded recruit - because he brought a skill set to the game that we needed, rebounding.

So does the NBA.
