You have Darko and Nikolitz Tskitivili with players that has no played a single NBA game such as Fran Vazquez and Frederick Weis. You thought it stop teams from drafting European players high but this year Timberwolves picked Ricky Rubio up in 4th. What happen next? He’s staying in Europe for two years. Will this ever get the GMs a message on the risk of drafting European player that high?

See previous comments in your Greg Oden post. Darko has played longer and had better production the either. He did make sense at the time of the draft The Pistons started Ben and Rasheed Wallace, Tayshuan Prince, Rip Hamilton and Chauncy Billups. Only Lebron would have started and Wade, Bosh or Anthony could have gotten siginificant playing time. The NBA was enamored of European bigs and almost everyone had Darko rated highly. Its easy to pick in hindisght 3 – 4 years later. Try doing a mock draft before the draft and see how you fair in any sport.
