"St. John's will bolster its frontcourt this season with the addition of a 6-9 big man from Bosnia who can shoot, sources tell @SNYtv"

Poor guy. He doesn't even have a name.

Hopefully there are no eligibility issues if we land him, often a problem with foreign players.

@NYPost_Brazille: Steve Lavin is in Bosnia this weekend to see a stretch 4 for this year's class per source. #sjubb

@AdamZagoria: St. John's lost Sampson, Sanchez & Achiuwa from the frontcourt, but now adds the Bosnian kid, Adonis Delarosa & Keith Thomas.All guards back

"@AdamZagoria: St. John's will add 6-9 Amar Alibegovic of Bosnia for 2014, sources tell @SNYtv. Father Teo played with Gary Payton at Oregon State."

@AdamZagoria: Give him this. Steve Lavin thinks outside the box. Every other high-major coach is here at Peach Jam and he's in Bosnia adding a 6-9 kid

That's the type of compliment Lavin usually gets from Otis.

Now this is exciting.

lol of course. And Paultz your avatar gives me hope that this kid is a lefty.

I dont know what a stretch 4 is. But I want a tough guy playing the 4. I dont care how tall he is as long as he is strong. I dont want to see him block any shots. I want to see him box out.

Stretch 4:  Think Durant, Nowitzki.

Perhaps he'd be better off thinking Tyler Jones, Rodney Epperson, Mike Menniefield, Fred Hemphill, Paul Berwanger, and every other crappy 4 we've ever had than two of the better players on the planet.

I certainly wasn't comparing him to those players.  I was attempting to explain my understanding of the term "stretch 4."  (Although Durant may be more of a 3 than a 4...even at 6'11".

SL coming home or looking at other Euro players?
