[Cy$]

J Furkan C

I can't imagine the disappointment Skal and Davis are feeling. Has to be unimaginable.

 

[CyArob]

That was an old trade

ok that makes more sense. I thought they were stockpiling more overhyped big men.

 

[ripvdub]

It says something about our college/farm system that so many international players are being drafted in the first round.

Either the college/farm system is slipping, or international basketball is catching up big time.

But the Euros don't turn out to be good either. Many don't even make it to the US. Porzingas has everyone grasping for luck.

 

[CyArob]

Watching the brief highlights of the Furkan kid, he does not look like an NBA player even in the slightest. If that's the best highlights...wow.

Not a lot of tape. Only played 9 minutes a game in the Euroleague.

 

[GTO]

Deyonta Davis looks like he's going to cry.

 

[carvers4math]

Firkins > Furkan.

 

[Doc]

Wonder what's wrong with Deyonta Davis. Picking Siakam ahead of him seems a little severe.

 

[CNECloneFan]

Or maybe talent scouts are trying to act like they know things that regular people don't by pretending they're so knowledgeable of European basketball.

I'll buy that.

100 international players in the NBA last year. Seems a fair number seem to make it?

He killed dumbledore

 

[baagoe]

I'm not a Skal fan at all so I can understand the fall but how is Deyonta Davis falling this far? Wow.

 

[xboxfever]

Skal will be out of the NBA in 2 years.

 

[baagoe]

Skal to the Kings. Nice value at 28.

 

[awd4cy]

Like seeing Skal finally go.

 

[CyArob]

Skal goes from possibly $3M to under $1M.

A lot of those kids were NCAA players. And many are not good. You can draft intlplayers all you want, I'd only take the top 1-3 each year. Otherwise total crapshoot.

You'd only take the top 1-3 international players every year? Really?

 

[awd4cy]

Deyonte Davis and his family have left apparently.

Everyone from Montenegro is named Nikola. Wide variety of names over there apparently.
