Jiri Zidek is a colleague; he writes a weekly column during the season on Euroleague.net and works as a color commentator on Euroleague.TV.

Prague Post: "Jiri Welsch in paradise"Archived 27 September 2013 at the Wayback Machine 7 August 2002 "Welsch became only the second Czech player ever drafted by an NBA team.

He lasted only three years in the league and now, at 29, plays in Poland. By contrast, Welsch bloomed early."
