The NBA Draft Lottery Is Done, Where Do Teams Go From Here?

It's tough to judge Euro prospects and I don't think stats are a good way of doing so. Prime example is Ricky Rubio.

Everyone knew about him and his flashy nature, but his stats were awful and many people questions his defense.

Now he's a top 5 defending point guard and he obviously isn't a scorer but he's a very effective player overall.

Yeah, it's different than NCAA prospects for sure just take a look at Juan Carlos Navarro. Barcelona native, has more accolades than any other european player in last decade and he managed only to play 1 season for Grizzlies. I mean he could play lot more there but why being 3rd option on depth chart when you can be legend in Barcelona.
