If the FIBA World Cup showed us anything, it's that there are talented pros deserving of looks outside the U.S. Should NBA teams be looking at them more frequently?
Would love if you started doing more scouting reports for international prospects. This point in the draft cycle seems like a good opportunity to highlight some players, who have a year of film playing against quality competition, versus trying to project guys coming from HS. I really think someone like Nikola Topic is going to end up being a very high draft pick, but he has yet to show up on any draft media’s boards.
Totally agree with you, nice article. As an Italian and european scout, i can confirm your sensations and opinion. Right guy in the right team can reach good results, and not only with pure talent. And not only in a "middle level" european team. I hope one day NBA's gm and scout can change direction about recruiting and draft. Have a nice day !
