    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
