They couldn't cut it in European soccer so they became NBA All Stars
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
Yes, because there are so many giant soccer players
soccer isn't a sport, it's running back and forth
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.
