He's not, and never was the guy that you limit in position, that's why his game was not great in Min and Sac. In Serbia and former Yugoslavia we grow up playing non positional basketball, it's something that we are proud of, youll never see a guy from Serbia or former Yougoslavia that is not a properly schooled player. Give us freedom in game you'll get the best of us, like Jokic, Doncic, Kukoc, Drazen Petrovic, Bojan and Bogdan Bogdanovic, Stojakovic, Vucevic, Divac, Bodiroga (never played in NBA but selected by NBA and FIBA as the best player that never went oversas), Radja, Nesterovic, Nurkic, Dario Saric, Danilovic, Pero Antic, Djordjevic, Paspalj, Zizic,... there are two exceptions which as we say "legitimate the rule" those are Boban Marjanovic and Stojko Vrankovic (they are/were physically limited with height of 7'3+). Around 50 players from former Yugoslavia made it to NBA.

This video is fantastic. One of the best examinations I've seen. I've forwarded it to some family that are just becoming NBA fans, and this really lays out what goes on with the Warriors strategy.
Bjelica could have done it his whole NBA career... You could say that he used to be beter before... Why the coaching staff in Minesota and Sacramento didn't see it is another question. The same goes for american perception of Toni Kukoc... He had a lot more to offer... It is wery funny to me wenn Draymond Green says: I didn't know... Your basketball knowledge ends within NBA "bourders"...
What? It was Minn then Sixers deal that went thru and he was halfway back to Europe when Divac signed him to Kings. He gets the credit for getting him to come back to nba. Bjelica got way more playing time, responsibilities and made his nba reputation in Sac. Then Miami shat the bed last yr by not playing him and this yr GS is sleigh using him properly. Dont know where you got that Sac thing. I do believe that the new GM McNair wasn't a fan since he cares about physical skills way more and Bjelica was in the way of his muscular, athletic rebuild... but before that he was appreciated in Sac. Thibodeau, McNair and Spoelstra were the ones who blew it (not sure what happened to Sixers deal). Divac and Kerr get the credit for seeing the skills. Certain basketball people think brute force is the only way, certain think that playmaking, shooting, passing, high vision/iq, dealing w/pressure is important too. You can easily tell which of the groups wouldnt be into Bjelica skill set and which would.
Ah give Draymond a break, we're not exposed to basketball outside the US, like you are to us unless it's the Olympics or there's a popular NBA draft prospect playing over there. Even with the Luka hype we didn't get his full games played over here, we got highlights of a guy which was maybe good enough to be a top pick. If we got Euro tournaments played on T.V. here people could've maybe seen he was a worthy number one. Even then rarely are they a sure thing. Never heard of Bjelica until Minnesota where he looked like just a nice shooter.
Probably one of the reasons why Golden State signed Bjelica is because of their assistant coach Dejan Milojević. Milojević is also from Serbia and he knows what is Bjelica capable off. As a player Milojević played center position, even if he didn't have a height he was very successful because he is very intelligent. Later on Milojević was a head coach of Serbian club where young Jokić, Boban and Micić(euroleague mvp) used to play, and he had a big role in their development. Good job for Golden State by signing Milojevic and Bjelica
I was so hyped when he was drafted by the Wolves but sadly they had to have Thibs as a coach and he was not being used to his strengths at all. Such a dynamic player. Glad hes on the Warriors now
I Love Beli. He fixes great with the Dubs. He's alway ready when Kerr calls his number. Plays D, can shoot from the three point line at 40%. And he penetrates like a point Guard. What more can you ask for from this guy. I was elated when the Dubs picked him up. As a matter of fact, he left bigger pay days from other teams to come play with ours. We need to extend him at the end of the yr. We need to make sure that Beli doesn't go anywhere once the season is over.
He is just all arround player, you can put him whenever you want he will play good. Thing is, basketball is an art.. all depends on situation and flow.. I am glad Warriors coach have this philosophy and using his players best as he can.. This is really refreshing and beautiful.
He's more than just a decent rebounder at both ends of the court too. He, Poole and Juan are the reasons why the Dubs have outrebounded their opponents much, much more often than not.
Thanks! Interesting look. I see him adding so much value but couldn't figure out why. He definitely is smart and unselfish. I always say this about warriors, if the coaches can teach every player to be unselfish and smart, their second string would be as deadly as their starters.
His play has been a little inconsistent in the last stretch of games and he certainly isn't looking as good as he was during pre season and the first stretch of games in the regular season so far for the Dubs. Let's acknowledge the fact that compared to The T Wolves and Kings having no idea how to play him he's a perfect fit in Kerrs motion offense in GSW. He can do just about everything offensively well enough to make him incredibly versatile, especially at his size. I think his passing and on court IQ are probably his best qualities myself. However there are some not so great things about him too. He's slow and get's easily beaten on the defensive end by the never ending stream of very athletic wings and guards in the NBA. He's hardly alone in this but nevertheless it sometimes makes it very hard for him to stay on the court. This is probably why his minutes haven't been as much or as consistent as you might expect. The simple fact is that OPJ while not necessarily being an overall better player, he's more playable in more situations against more opponents. Lastly, perhaps he's just trying to adjust and find his role on the team, but recently he's been super hesitant to shoot, like really missing the opportunity to shoot wide open 3s pretty consistently. I know he doesn't have a very quick release so perhaps it's that. But for someone with his reputation it's been a little odd. Overall though as a dubs fan I was more than pleasantly surprised with what an amazing pickup he's been especially for the minimum. I hope we get the chance to resign him at the end of the season.
@Quentin Coberley The more I've seen of him since this video the more it's pretty clear. If OPJ can stay healthy he's going to get a much better deal than the Vet minimum he's on. He's the best player off the bench now behind Poole and definitely capable of starting when needed. And he's bigger than you think too.

@@BobbyPERu4u Did you ever watched Bjelica play? He is not slow and he is excellent defender. How can you say shit like that when you even don't know his game?
@@danmaks1047 I’ve watched every Warriors game this season. Steve Kerr agrees. Every reporter who follows the Warriors closely agrees. This isn’t a debate.
Hope he woll return to warriors this season ,this guy plays great thats why he became mvp there in Europe ! but signed already with fenerbahce this last august with former team...
@@dulisha there are 11 countries on the Balkans. I don't think that all 11 of those share basketball philosophy and knowledge. You ment to say Albanian school? Or Romanian? Bulgarian???
Had a really positive impact on the team. Was a great fit from the beginning of the season. A great teammate who knew his role and never tried to do too much.
"No one could have guessed Bjelica impact" NOT TRUE. We Sacramento Kings fans know lethal Nemanja can be. With Steph...Everyone flourishes so I knew that Bjelica gonna be a problem with Warriors

This is the difference from the Lakers lineup, Lal got 2 non-shooting big men in Dwight and Deandre Jordan, nowadays When you are big and can't shoot three you can't put a big impact except you play sensational defense and rebounding and contesting all paint attackers. Not unless you're Rudy Gobert. lol
I am glad that people are seeing this. The moment Bjelica got benched in that game, and Green got in to close out the game, Suns created a gap and never looked back. Beli is way more skilled player , bad luck going to Wolves and Kings after , they limited him to shoot. This guy was a Jokic before Jokic. NBA Bball is forcing you to take up on a role, 3 and D was his until he signed with Warriors , this is how we play in ex Yu , you learn to do everything

Bjelica, as you so rightly pointed out, gives us a better shooter than the other 2 bigs-Dramond and Looney. We're going to need everyone, including coaching and Bob Myers, to contribute what they are good at this year.

Steve Kerr knows what hes doing. He is dosing his minutes rn, i mean warriors are first in the west, u cant ask more, and as playoffs come closer i expect at least 25-30 minutes from Beli, he can run a playoff with those minutes but not the whole season, he is older guy and its expected. I believe he could be better on defense because i know how good and smart he is.
So basically he's a 2016 Draymond with a better shot. Draymond was basically a hybrid center/pg back when the warriors were at their peak. His only flaw was an inconsistent shot and we all know them euroleagers never have shooting problems.

He getting older and losing strength might be problem injuries also. Hope he stays fit. HE knows hwo to play and with Teo he was bes tplayer for Serbia for full decade. And he is professional guy he can offer a lot in times, just to be fit.
Bejlica is one of the xfactor of the warriors in the future he is good as the team work bldg of the warriors, needs more courage n decision making while playing, he can do it....go go warriors is the best team you are in n can learn more...
He just saved the Warriors against the Celtics, but he has to stop missing layups and dunks. He needs to sharpen those up. Regardless, being able to swap him for Looney will be invaluable for the rest of finals.

Whoever watched Bjelica in Fener and the Serbian national team knows that he is a player who is rarely met.

Bjelica is so underrated. Amazing player. Looking forward to seeing him play more.
Bjelica in his teens played a point guard back in Serbia. That would explain his passing skill and good vision of a situation on the court.
There's a reason why Bjeli is a former euro mvp. Surprised no team utilized him as much

He's not, and never was the guy that you limit in position, that's why his game was not great in Min and Sac. In Serbia and former Yugoslavia we grow up playing non positional basketball, it's something that we are proud of, youll never see a guy from Serbia or former Yougoslavia that is not a properly schooled player. Give us freedom in game you'll get the best of us, like Jokic, Doncic, Kukoc, Drazen Petrovic, Bojan and Bogdan Bogdanovic, Stojakovic, Vucevic, Divac, Bodiroga (never played in NBA but selected by NBA and FIBA as the best player that never went oversas), Radja, Nesterovic, Nurkic, Dario Saric, Danilovic, Pero Antic, Djordjevic, Paspalj, Zizic,... there are two exceptions which as we say "legitimate the rule" those are Boban Marjanovic and Stojko Vrankovic (they are/were physically limited with height of 7'3+). Around 50 players from former Yugoslavia made it to NBA.
Absolutely yes! Needs longer minutes to play for him to warm up cause hes coming from the bench

This video is fantastic. One of the best examinations I've seen. I've forwarded it to some family that are just becoming NBA fans, and this really lays out what goes on with the Warriors strategy.
Bjelica could have done it his whole NBA career... You could say that he used to be beter before... Why the coaching staff in Minesota and Sacramento didn't see it is another question. The same goes for american perception of Toni Kukoc... He had a lot more to offer...
It is wery funny to me wenn Draymond Green says: I didn't know... Your basketball knowledge ends within NBA "bourders"...
What? It was Minn then Sixers deal that went thru and he was halfway back to Europe when Divac signed him to Kings. He gets the credit for getting him to come back to nba. Bjelica got way more playing time, responsibilities and made his nba reputation in Sac.
Then Miami shat the bed last yr by not playing him and this yr GS is sleigh using him properly. Dont know where you got that Sac thing. I do believe that the new GM McNair wasn't a fan since he cares about physical skills way more and Bjelica was in the way of his muscular, athletic rebuild... but before that he was appreciated in Sac.
Thibodeau, McNair and Spoelstra were the ones who blew it (not sure what happened to Sixers deal). Divac and Kerr get the credit for seeing the skills. Certain basketball people think brute force is the only way, certain think that playmaking, shooting, passing, high vision/iq, dealing w/pressure is important too.
You can easily tell which of the groups wouldnt be into Bjelica skill set and which would.
Well that's why Minnesota and Sacramento are what they are for the last past decade or so lol
Ah give Draymond a break, we're not exposed to basketball outside the US, like you are to us unless it's the Olympics or there's a popular NBA draft prospect playing over there. Even with the Luka hype we didn't get his full games played over here, we got highlights of a guy which was maybe good enough to be a top pick. If we got Euro tournaments played on T.V. here people could've maybe seen he was a worthy number one. Even then rarely are they a sure thing. Never heard of Bjelica until Minnesota where he looked like just a nice shooter.
Everybody forgot about him in Nba and in euroleageu he was UNSTOPPABLE BEAST.. COME BACK AFTER U WIN NNBA WITH CURRY!
he won already.. nice one broo
Great analysis of how versatile Bjelica is for the Warriors!
I think he will get more minutes when klay's return, those 3 might be deadly in pick n roll or pick n pop situation.
Probably one of the reasons why Golden State signed Bjelica is because of their assistant coach Dejan Milojević.
Milojević is also from Serbia and he knows what is Bjelica capable off.
As a player Milojević played center position, even if he didn't have a height he was very successful because he is very intelligent.
Later on Milojević was a head coach of Serbian club where young Jokić, Boban and Micić(euroleague mvp) used to play, and he had a big role in their development.
Good job for Golden State by signing Milojevic and Bjelica
His nickname in Europe was The Professor. That tells the story of his game.
I was so hyped when he was drafted by the Wolves but sadly they had to have Thibs as a coach and he was not being used to his strengths at all. Such a dynamic player. Glad hes on the Warriors now
I Love Beli. He fixes great with the Dubs. He's alway ready when Kerr calls his number. Plays D, can shoot from the three point line at 40%. And he penetrates like a point Guard. What more can you ask for from this guy. I was elated when the Dubs picked him up. As a matter of fact, he left bigger pay days from other teams to come play with ours. We need to extend him at the end of the yr. We need to make sure that Beli doesn't go anywhere once the season is over.
Been saying this all year Bjielica will be the dark horse/wildcard in the playoffs for the dubs
He is just all arround player, you can put him whenever you want he will play good. Thing is, basketball is an art.. all depends on situation and flow.. I am glad Warriors coach have this philosophy and using his players best as he can.. This is really refreshing and beautiful.
He's more than just a decent rebounder at both ends of the court too. He, Poole and Juan are the reasons why the Dubs have outrebounded their opponents much, much more often than not.
This guy is going to be big in the playoffs great fucking addition to team
Thanks! Interesting look. I see him adding so much value but couldn't figure out why.
He definitely is smart and unselfish. I always say this about warriors, if the coaches can teach every player to be unselfish and smart, their second string would be as deadly as their starters.
His play has been a little inconsistent in the last stretch of games and he certainly isn't looking as good as he was during pre season and the first stretch of games in the regular season so far for the Dubs.
Let's acknowledge the fact that compared to The T Wolves and Kings having no idea how to play him he's a perfect fit in Kerrs motion offense in GSW. He can do just about everything offensively well enough to make him incredibly versatile, especially at his size. I think his passing and on court IQ are probably his best qualities myself.
However there are some not so great things about him too. He's slow and get's easily beaten on the defensive end by the never ending stream of very athletic wings and guards in the NBA. He's hardly alone in this but nevertheless it sometimes makes it very hard for him to stay on the court. This is probably why his minutes haven't been as much or as consistent as you might expect. The simple fact is that OPJ while not necessarily being an overall better player, he's more playable in more situations against more opponents.
Lastly, perhaps he's just trying to adjust and find his role on the team, but recently he's been super hesitant to shoot, like really missing the opportunity to shoot wide open 3s pretty consistently. I know he doesn't have a very quick release so perhaps it's that. But for someone with his reputation it's been a little odd.
Overall though as a dubs fan I was more than pleasantly surprised with what an amazing pickup he's been especially for the minimum. I hope we get the chance to resign him at the end of the season.
Thank you for your insight!
@Quentin Coberley The more I've seen of him since this video the more it's pretty clear. If OPJ can stay healthy he's going to get a much better deal than the Vet minimum he's on. He's the best player off the bench now behind Poole and definitely capable of starting when needed. And he's bigger than you think too.
He needs more minutes...
Ima 33 godine i igra centra sada, 15-20min na terenu za njega u tim god i na toj poziciji je puno.
@@danmaks1047 manju rotaciju dobija zbog kretenskih ugovora koje imaju "zvezde". Čim nema statistike, dižu sidra i beže ili plaču po novinama. Još belac da igra a crnci da puše klupu??? To je kod amera prosto, ko dobija pare, on igra. Ko Bobi u Dalasu... ne ulazi dok ne vežu dva poraza.
He gets taken advantage on defense unless the other team is playing a big slow traditional center.
@@BobbyPERu4u Did you ever watched Bjelica play? He is not slow and he is excellent defender. How can you say shit like that when you even don't know his game?
@@danmaks1047 I’ve watched every Warriors game this season. Steve Kerr agrees. Every reporter who follows the Warriors closely agrees. This isn’t a debate.
He is a great Player !!!!
Very good video dude. Thanks!
Bjelica is slept on atm, awesome addition to the team. Hopefully gets more minutes and really see him pop off
I keep wanting Bjelica to say "Nothing Eazy!" after an explosive game and point at Zaza.
Fantastic break down. Thank you
Bjelica is The Euroleague MVP 2014- 2015 season!!!
His games there are really great and his team miss him alot!!
a great video!
Absolutely
Hope he woll return to warriors this season ,this guy plays great thats why he became mvp there in Europe !
but signed already with fenerbahce this last august with former team...
He’s got a lot of similarities to jokic s game imo
after all he learned same type of basketball as Jokic. Balkan basketball school
@@dulisha true
@@dulisha there are 11 countries on the Balkans. I don't think that all 11 of those share basketball philosophy and knowledge. You ment to say Albanian school? Or Romanian? Bulgarian???
@@dulisha SERBIAN basketball school
Excellent analysis. Now opposing coaches know how to play him, thanks to you.
Bjelica owes this basketball knowledge and intelligence to the legendary coach Željko Obradović. Fenerbahce legend Bjelica and Obra.
Had a really positive impact on the team. Was a great fit from the beginning of the season. A great teammate who knew his role and never tried to do too much.
Knew it was very underrated and tactically solid assignment, the thing is never knew he'd be as good as he is this soon.. :)
"No one could have guessed Bjelica impact" NOT TRUE. We Sacramento Kings fans know lethal Nemanja can be. With Steph...Everyone flourishes so I knew that Bjelica gonna be a problem with Warriors
Honestly this shows how clueless the Minnesota Timberwolves organisation is, no idea what they are doing
One of the best players from the bench but they expected more from him when he started in NBA. With a reason, he use to be an MVP in Europe!

He is mini Jokic.
This is the difference from the Lakers lineup, Lal got 2 non-shooting big men in Dwight and Deandre Jordan, nowadays When you are big and can't shoot three you can't put a big impact except you play sensational defense and rebounding and contesting all paint attackers. Not unless you're Rudy Gobert. lol
6'9 Jokic 2.0
If you go back through GSW clips, you'll see that Nemanja & Gary Payton II worked very well together.
Thank you for analysis :). Liked.
Love how you just called him "Serbian" at 0:53
That three range... crazy
With Draymond's sloppy & costly TOs vs Suns (& before) Beli should get some of Dray's minutes - he shoots 3s, at the rim and excellent passing.
I am glad that people are seeing this. The moment Bjelica got benched in that game, and Green got in to close out the game, Suns created a gap and never looked back. Beli is way more skilled player , bad luck going to Wolves and Kings after , they limited him to shoot. This guy was a Jokic before Jokic. NBA Bball is forcing you to take up on a role, 3 and D was his until he signed with Warriors , this is how we play in ex Yu , you learn to do everything

have always liked nemanja
I’ve always liked him as a player
I knew he was nice when he was playing with the twolves. High iq player, good footwork, above average jumper.
Немања Бјелица!!!
🇷🇸 🇷🇸 🇷🇸
Because he is from the greatest basketball nation Serbia.
ИДЕМООООО 💥
nice and clear breakdown, liked and subbed
Bjelica is 6'10 or 6'11
then adding gasol mid season will complement even more with defensive toughness
Gasol too slow. Id rather keep the current rooster.
Gasol bros are with one leg intheir graves, moving like Dirk lately. Nobody needs them anymore.
@@FirefighterBobby marc was still efficient last year compared to most traditional bigs now
he has been the best if not the greatest asset of this team! what a gem! so much floorspacing when he's out with Curry.. Skies the limit!

@@BubaIGunga well that’s your opinion.
@@aznhandles So you don't think that he's a good player or you didn't read my post?
In nowadays NBA Bjelica can avg triple double in the finals with 25+ min on the court
Bjelica, as you so rightly pointed out, gives us a better shooter than the other 2 bigs-Dramond and Looney. We're going to need everyone, including coaching and Bob Myers, to contribute what they are good at this year.

Good Job man a very good video :)
Steve Kerr knows what hes doing. He is dosing his minutes rn, i mean warriors are first in the west, u cant ask more, and as playoffs come closer i expect at least 25-30 minutes from Beli, he can run a playoff with those minutes but not the whole season, he is older guy and its expected. I believe he could be better on defense because i know how good and smart he is.
He’s more worth than a minimum veteran salary.
great analysis!
Nice video ! Maybe make one for his D ?
So basically he's a 2016 Draymond with a better shot. Draymond was basically a hybrid center/pg back when the warriors were at their peak. His only flaw was an inconsistent shot and we all know them euroleagers never have shooting problems.
European players tend to be team oriented and unselfish. A very good signing from Bob Myers.
Great video, only it misses the defence part
true
He also has a height advantage so he has a better visual of the court.
Бјелица професор!🇷🇸❤️🤓
Bjelica is already more important then green ever was!
Nemanja Bjelica is the "budget Jokic", if I may say so.😆

He getting older and losing strength might be problem injuries also. Hope he stays fit.
HE knows hwo to play and with Teo he was bes tplayer for Serbia for full decade. And he is professional guy he can offer a lot in times, just to be fit.
Billy smooth operator 👌👌
Man these Americans need to start respecting the Europeans especially us from the Balkans 💪🏻
A smaller version of Andrew Bugot, upgraded.. I hope, they extend Hes stay at warriors. BIG HELP..
Great video!
Bejlica is one of the xfactor of the warriors in the future he is good as the team work bldg of the warriors, needs more courage n decision making while playing, he can do it....go go warriors is the best team you are in n can learn more...
If they had Jokic too that's a ring 99.9%.
Or if denver had Curry....
The Heat had him last year & did nothing with him… upsetting! He played with Iggy & I assume he told Kerr about him. Not just happenstance!
Proffessor
time to be Euroleague champion again 💛💙
goes to show that there's more to basketball than just stats
Hes actually a power forward
Always been a top player…
Wow he shoots like nowitzki
LBJ blueprinted this one. Chris Bosh and Kevin Love lived at the corner 3.
When you hide a good shooter amongst great shooters lol
Solid take
He will
It's funny how coaches in Sac and GS could figure out his skill set and high IQ but Minn/Thibs and Miami/Spoelstra last yr were totally clueless.
Shaq:"That's cute"
great video
He just saved the Warriors against the Celtics, but he has to stop missing layups and dunks. He needs to sharpen those up. Regardless, being able to swap him for Looney will be invaluable for the rest of finals.
klay steph beli gonna be insane
The Miami Heat sign this guy, and I can't believe that they let him go. Ughhh they could have used him.
