08:06 AM ET 09.03 | The Nets have to like what they're seeing out of Mirza Teletovic. [When Brooklyn signed Teletovic] this summer, most of America shrugged. If they noticed at all. But followers of international basketball applauded the move. Teletovic is a stretch four with a very quick release, but also a mean streak that has him defending hard and banging bodies inside. That shot tearing up EuroBasket qualifying going on right now -- Teletovic is averaging 25.7 points and 6.2 rebounds a game for Bosnia and Herzegovina so far, reports USBasket.com. Now, those are sort of like Summer League numbers, don't put too much stock in them. But it's another sign the Nets may have some scoring punch off the bench this season.

No, we all noticed him when BK was loading up. He's a 6'9" 240lb forward that shot over 50% from behind the arc.

As Mick7 says, we're waiting to see how he will do in the nba.

I worry about a PF who "also a mean streak that has him defending hard and banging bodies inside" but only averages 6 rebounds a game in a league in Europe...

I don't put much stock in Euro rebounds. Its all angles and floor position over there. Lots more long rebounds off 20 foot misses. The outside guys get as many rebounds as the bangers.

Don't put stock in those numbers, but do put stock in those numbers.

Oh, OK. Got it.

It does not translate to the NBA game.
