what an idiot; what's the purpose of posting this biased commentary which has no ground whatsoever? you just have to look at past draft and the rate of success of international players; when were international players overrated? i remember 5 lottery picks: Yao,Gasol,Nowitzki,Nene and Skita. So far,4 huge success stories and 1 project who was expected to struggle in his first year.
Stojakovic,Kirilenko,Nesterovic,Divac,Turkoglu were all mid to late first round picks. Ginobili,Kukoc,Radja,Giricek,Okur are 2nd rounders. The flops are all late first rounders or second rounders. Check the record for american players taken at the same spots and it's 5 times worse. There's a reason why these NCAA/xenophobic pundits always cite Weiss: they have no other argument. Dick Vitale is a pathetic old fart
