The hype (or what you might call anti-hype) about Kosta Perovic is quite varied. Once considered a potential lottery bound pick in the 2004 draft, the draft that landed Biedrins into the bay area, Kosta has significantly dropped off the radar where the fanfare went from relative obscurity but curiosity to well... just about absolute obscurity as he's been exiled to Golden State. I've told this story a dozen times and recently to Atma, but people on the east coast don't know who the Golden State Warriors are.
During the initial phase of the throwback craze of the 2003, I went to visit a friend in Philly. On every corner was a sports store selling all sorts of throwback gear. I happened to be wearing my "the city" shirt in one of em and the sales attendant--who was decked out in some 76ers throwback gear--said he liked the design and the colors. I told him it was a Golden State Warriors shirt and he replied "What?" I said it was an NBA team and he said "Where?" 12 years of being in the Lottery will do that to ya...
Anyway, the scouting reports of Kosta are relatively similar and all the comparisons are, of course, of European players.
