Those percentages are ridiculously misleading...
16 EuroLeague teams comprised of 16 players each = 256 total players
337 Division I teams comprised of 15 players each = 5,055 total players
So if 25% of EuroLeague players are former/future NBA draftees that's 64 players (which doesn't line up with his numbers, but whatever), whereas if 3% of the NCAA players are on the "draft radar" that's 152 total... And the churn is a lot higher in the NCAA with so many one-and-done guys getting drafted each year, versus EuroLeague where the same "former NBA draftee" can stick around for years, and thus be counted toward the same percentage over and over.
