NBA DLeage vs overseas league
Keen to hear thoughts on where the best imports are coming from.
When we think of players like Randal and Casper Ware these are guys that have played in professional leagues and have created an impact almost immediately.
Compare that to the NBA D-League which has brought us a lot of players where it is more hit or miss around performance.
My assessment appears to be that recruiting an import who has played in professional leagues will be more experienced and generally have a prove track record. The NBA D-League or college lack the quality or intensity so its more of a lottery ticket if the player will be effective against bigger stronger and older players in a professional league with experienced veterans. You might get a James Ennis but in most cases probably not.
Thoughts ?
