The Value of European Players

[pokerface]

You've summarized why I am so opposed to the Suns taking MA or Pavel.

You have no idea what either guy is like...You have no basis to be SO opposed.

Ok granted a lot of Euros are weak on defense but a lot of them are offensive threats to counter that. Seems to me that scorers are more valued in the league though...


I think the person that started this thread wants us turned off from Euros in this years draft...so what are the alternatives? Highschoolers?

Right now it appears that college players are on the rise. The real test will be Livingston for the HS players. The Charlotte writers are really pushing for him, but if they go for a college guy he might slip to late lottery.

Biedrins is the top ranked Euro on most mock drafts because he is more NBA ready than the others and is know more for his defense. However, he does not generate a lot of enthusiasm because he is not 7'3" nor a big ofensive threat.
