Best European Players in the NBA in 2020


1. Luka Doncic (SF/PF, DAL)

pros: plus passer, shooter, size, lots of time to continue developing
cons: defense

2. Nicola Jokic (C, DEN)

pros: size/weight, some shooting, intangibles/leadership, top end is borderline MVP play quality
cons: weight may continue to be an issue, conditioning/may not be able to play 40mpg+ over longer stretches despite youth, low end is pretty low (2020 Marc Gasol)

3. Bogdan Bogdanovic (SG/SF, SAC), Bojan Bogdanovic (SF, UTA)
same player, transports between both teams on a nightly basis

pros: stellar shooter, ball handling, clutch, good size
cons: not a star, likely limited to microwave type role, limited defense

4. Kristaps Porzingis (PF/C, DAL)

pros: range shooter, super tall
cons: possibly injury prone, not overly strong, career may be limited due to injuries unforeseen

5. Davis Bertans (SF, WAS)

pros: can shoot over anyone like they're a chair, decent handle but more of a catch and shoot type of player
cons: likely can only play about 30mpg (conditioning?), defensive liability, may not be clutch in playoffs

6. Goran Dragic (PG, MIA)

pros: court vision, decent shooting
cons: older, not a starter

7. Nemanja Bjelica (PF, SAC)

pros: good size, good stretch forward who can shoot 3s
cons: not that young, likely playing at his ceiling (bench stretch 4)

8. Miloš Teodosić (PG, LAC)

pros: prospect PG with court vision
cons: may not be that good, ceiling may be poor mans Ricky Rubio

9. Danilo Gallinari (SF, who he play for?)

pros: shooter
cons: old

10. Nikola Vucevic (C, ORL)

pros: big Euro center
cons: not that good at basketball besides having good size. Average boards, below average scoring among his NBA bigs/peers

They couldn't cut it in European soccer so they became NBA All Stars

soccer isn't a sport, it's running back and forth

[napadaj]

It's far better than stupid handegg.

Galo is in OKC and Teodosic is no more in the league.

Threads like this will be interesting to see seven or eight years from now.

[R. DeMurre]

Bjelica is better at almost everything than Davis Bertans-- better rebound numbers, assists, steals, defense, 2pt%, etc... even his 3pt% is higher this year. Bjelica could easily be a starter on a great team. Bertans is still a nice bench piece, but not a quality starter on a good team.

You mean Neanderthals?

[FrostKing]

You mean Neanderthals?
Correct.

[ambchang]

Correct.

I thought they were generally extinct. There are small genetic traces of them in all humans but they are in pretty much every single geographic region.
