Yeah, I believe so. I think he mentioned it on the BS Report earlier this year. He teaches at BYU-Hawaii too.

Idk man I just feel like every draft there are a handful of Euro guys picked, and a lot of them don't pan out.  
Dirk, Manu, Yao, and Bargnani as of late has played okay...

Maybe the fact that I never see this guys play makes me scared, but that's the way I see it.

How many American players get drafted that don't "pan out". 
Ratio probably ain't much different if you really think about it.

It isn't I can't rmember where i saw, i think on tv...but the chance of getting an all star player is the same I think actually slightly higher for euros. Like 11% of euros drafted in lottery become all stars, 10% for americans.

Enes Kanter just said he wants to play for the Wizards that's his first choice. Has a really good relationship with @jimmywall

Alec Burke will be the best overall player in this draft 5 years from now.

He may pan out to be a good scorer in the league but I highly doubt that he is the best overall player 5 years from now. What are you basing this off of?

That's an interesting stat

.  I mean I'm not opposed of it by any means, but like I said before it's weird not watching any of these guys and then seeing them being picked in the top 10
