That fixes our main problem. The new kid is not going to get a huge amount of minutes, because Nowell averaged 33.5 minutes a game and that should at least stay the same. But we needed someone who can run the team, especially if Nowell were to get hurt. Throw in the two or three other guys who could play point in a pinch, and we should be in decent shape. And when you get more than one foreign player from the same country on the roster, I figure it helps combat homesickness just that much more.

According to Wikipedia, Serbian is one of the official languages of Bosnia-Herzegovina. I do not know if all of these guys are for sure coming back, but if we could put Besovic, Maric, Lukic, Stulic and Andric on the floor at the same time, that would be a legitimate starting lineup. Presumably all of them can speak Serbian, so the whole lineup could be talking to each other about what moves they are about to make, and the other team wouldn't have a clue - assuming they had no Europeans on the floor.

Not to mention that we should have three Bosnians on the volleyball team.

That could be confusing. Might have to use their middle names, too.

I have heard these were their top 2 targets this year.

Looking at his stats it appears that he is a pure point guard. Pass first type.
