Let´s see ... (guess the player)

- In his rookie season he played 15.5 mpg, getting 6 starts in 71 games.
- In his rookie season he played 10.2 mpg, getting 0 starts in 45 games.
- In his rookie season he played 19.6 mpg, getting 31 starts in 71 games.

Just three examples what All Stars and Future All Stars getting drafted out of HS usually do when playing in the NBA. But yeah, I guess drafting Europeans that high is a bigger gamble than taking those HS kids.

If you draft a guy aged 18 you get a guy aged 18. It doesnt matter if he´s European or US - he´s raw. And you draft this guy on your evaluation of talent. NOT on his supreme competition.
