That was never the case with Calathes, and his career trajectory has proven why.

Even still, I think there is stock to be taken from euro success on the level he is having. Calathes and many euro players are vets and have higher IQ than most lotto picks coming in. Others have athleticism near the level of nba players, but the IQ isnt there.. or they would be in the league. They are good but cant put it all together enough to be in the nba..for now.
Doncic would probably snicker at the nba crowds and environment. It's ridiculous over there.
