i have to say "VidiVici Bologna" has the best looking website for a foreign bball team that i've ever seen. italy has some of the best european basketball, and the team looks to be one of the best in their league. it's good to know that ilian isn't on some crappy team in some crappy league.

kris lang is on the team too!!

Quote :

"July 24, 2006 Raleigh, N.C. - Former NC State men's basketball player Ilian Evtimov has inked a two-year contract with VidiVici Bologna of the Italian Serie A, Italy's highest division of professional basketball. VidiVici went 19-15 last season, and finished ninth out of the 18 teams. Evtimov got his first taste of professional basketball in May, when he played with Adecco Estudiantes in Spain's top division for the last month of the season. Evtimov will be reminded of the NC State/North Carolina rivalry while with VidiVici, as former Tar Heel center Kris Lang is also on the squad. He also will have to endure a sibling rivalry as well, as his older brother Vasco has signed with Upea Capo, another team in the Italian Serie A division, and one of VidiVici's top rivals. "

ilian apparently isn't getting much playing time with vidivici bologna. he was offered a spot with "cska", which would get him alot more playing time. the trade deadline passed, so i guess ilian turned it down. judging by that website, and another with basically the same info, ilian is regarded as a future european star and is known for his shooting (nothing new there).

Damn Travis Best and Drew Blizzard (the dude for UNCW that lit up Maryland before losing on a buzzer beater in the NCAA tournament team are on his team too.) I would think that Travis Best would be pretty nasty in some euro ball.
