European League Scrubs/Role Players That Started In NBA And/Or Are Lotto Picks

[Rooster]

He was a scrub.

He was 19.

He played normal rotation minutes.

You are a moron.

Next

Please tell me what VSpan doing when he was 19.

Exactly... it's not his fault he was a high school kid trying to learn.

Apparently, he learned, and is now a middling NBA point guard. Wow.

So, he learned something in Europe? That's not normal

No. He was college age.

Of course he did! European players have very good fundamentals.

A few mistakes. For one, Jerebko was the 39th pick. In the NBA, 39th isn't lottery.

Secondly, why is Casspi considered an NBA starter when he starts less than 40% of his games?

Also, why is he called role player in Europe (when he started no?) and starter in NBA (when he's still considered a role player no?). I mean, if you can't start even 40% of games for a terrible lottery team, are you not a "role player"?

I remember watching Casspi in Eurobasket 2007 qualification and thinking "this guy is horrible", for me Elyiahu and the other PG that was in Maccabi were much more talented then him ..
He developed so quicky, it's amazing.

How about this.....

Jerebko = role player on a small club in a mid level European league

= starter in NBA

Casspi = role player on Maccabi

= role player in NBA with better stats and more important to his team


Of course, I would never expect any American NBA only fan to be aware of anything basketball non-NBA related.

First time we agree.
Continue your talk with Euroleague, i'm reading carefuly.

[Kblaze8855]

The best player on that list is the 3rd or 4th best player on a below average team after going to europe for no reason but not being able to go to college.....and two of them are among the biggest flops in history. and this is your euroscrub to good nba player list?

Surely someone of note went from nothing to something.

Europe is good in playing team ball.

That's nice, but doesn't really address anything I actually said. Kind of just deflects it with other information. You call a role playing starter a "role player" in one context, and a "starter" in another. Seems unusual...

[Euroleague]

Are you for real?

Darko is a huge scrub and has been since he joined the NBA.
Niko... barely made a roster and was out of the league in a year or two.
Ricky hasn't played in an NBA game.
Jerebko has finally started to get it... but then he got injured.
Omri seems to be developing well, but I wouldn't call him a good NBA player yet.
Jan hasn't played an NBA game.
Brandon Jennings is a middling NBA point guard.

Where are you going with this?

Are you freaking for real?

Naming any American in Europe as a "dominant Euroleague player"?

Are you freaking for real not even knowing that dozens of scrubs/role players in Europe (many in lower tier leagues even) were drafted by the NBA (some in lotto) and some even became NBA starters?

You call yourself an NBA fan and are that incredibly lacking in basic NBA knowledge?

Are you for real? Where are you going with all the trolling you do here?

Yeah, which is good for him. He was like 19 though in 2007, so a lot of players get infinitely better from 19-23.

The fact that he moved to a league where defense is outlawed helped.

Your trolling is so poor that it's starting to get entertaining. Please continue.
