    Default speediest guards at Euro 2007

    from watching all the videos over at media zone. Here is what I think were the fastest guards in the tourney. Mind you, they might not be the best shooters or have the perceptual vision to be great in assists, but just had terrific speed

    1. R Ukic(Croatia)
    2. G Dragic(Slovania)
    3. T Parker(France)
    4. R Fernendez(Spain)
    5. A Pluta(Poland)
    6. S Rodrigues(Spain)

    anybody knows of any faster guards from Europe?

    there are probably loads of faster guards on the whole continent, but lack of other things...

    Jure and Jan Močnik (Helios, Olimpija) are probably faster that all those you've listed, but also smaller and so far way behind them concerning quality...
    Pozecco also comes to my mind as the tipical small PG...

    Spanoulis gets underestimated. He's PAO fastest player.

    Lakovic is also and so is Macijauskas.

    Diamantidis is not fast, Kaukenas is faster, but not so fast either.

    Macijauskas, Popovic... we now lets decide if we're talking about speed or quickness... these two are surely extremely quick, as well as Kaukenas..

    This is very hard to decide who is the speediest one, I watched not many non-LT games so I choose Kaukenas

    my last explanation to you sorry ass. the "Popovic, Macijauskas..." was meant to illustrate some of the examples other people gave before. my short note wasn't even refered to the title question of this thread, so these two obviously weren't my variants. I simply doubted that such players, like Popo or Macas, could be considerend "speedy" because of their quick moves and first step. I was actually seeking to get a more accurate definition of what is "speediness" according to the author of the thread.
    so once again..

    anyway, I'm tired of your... whatever it is, but it sucks so I'll just try to ignore you and suggest other people to do so as well more or less.

    Don't remember who said it lately, but someone from MdP I guess, emphasizing exactly how speedy Kaukenas is. Interesting

    As for Kalnietis, I'd also say he must be very fast, as his whole athletic ability is based in his speed. It is known that Kalnietis can't make a dunk from a static position, so.

    I say Tony Parker. Eva makes him move faster, a true inspiration.
