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 158 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).

It’s actually 26% if you just count the formers using the 256 number. He says “about” 25%. I don’t know why you think the total is important. It’s not like college players are playing against all 158 of those on the radar players. They are playing against a diluted talent pool just like Doncic.
