Husker Basketball: Aleks Maric - Thanks For the Career

by Jon Johnston on Mar 25, 2008 8:02 AM CDT in Nebraska Husker Basketball

Aleks Maric' Husker career came to an end with last night's 85-75 overtime loss to Ole Miss. Fitting that he finished with another double-double. I was fairly critical of Maric early in the season, but the guy came on strong as the season continued as the basketball team as a whole got a lot better.

I'd like to thank Maric for returning to the Husker basketball team when he just as easily could have left as Doc Sadler arrived on the scene. We wouldn't have been near the team without him. There's not a better compliment you can get than to have people worried about how to replace you after you've left, and successfully replacing Aleks Maric will be a big key to success next season. It won't be an easy task for Doc Sadler.

Maric has the stats that'll stand at Nebraska for a long time. I don't have any insight as to whether he can make it in the NBA or another pro league because I pay absolutely no attention to professional basketball. I wish him all the best wherever his career takes him.

Aleks

will be an NBA roster next year, if he wants to be. He's not only tall, but wide & strong (when he wants to be), which makes it more likely that an NBA squad will take a chance on him. Whether he gets drafted is another story. However, if he is faced with the choice of riding an NBA bench or actually playing in Europe, he may decide to go with the playing route.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't follow the NBA, living in the Twin Cities. I mean, the Timberwolves are sooooo good.

Got Corn?
