For every international star that laces them up in the NBA—Pau Gasol, Dirk Nowitzki, Yao Ming—there are at least a few disappointments—Darko Milicic and Nikoloz Tskitishvili have come to define the word “bust”. But while the rest of the blogosphere hones in on the two poles of NBA Draftdom, teams are built somewhere in between, and the international prospect has come a long way since Nikoloz and and Darko. Guys like Thabo Sefolosha, Nicolas Batum and Omri Casspi usher in a new era of “Euro.” Bye-bye, workout wonder, hello standout effort. So in what is typically viewed as a weak crop of foreign talent, who will emerge as a steal? Nemanja Bjelica (left) and Donatas Motiejunas (right) are just the tip of the iceberg. If you check back regularly to beef up on your NBA Draft knowledge, we promise not to let Christian Eyenga sneak up on you again.
With that, I give you the Euroleague Adventures NBA Draft Tab, available at the top left of your screen.
