All-Time NBA Draft (not just international)

Jeffrey32 said:
132: Oscar Schmidt: Schmidt is unofficially considered to be the all-time leading scorer in the history of basketball, with 49,737 career points scored (club play, plus national team play combined). He is also a record holder for the longest career span of a basketball player. On September 8, 2013, Schmidt was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. He was a member of the greatest NBA draft of all-time (1984) and was selected in the 6th round by the New Jersey Nets, but he never wanted to take his talents to the NBA and instead made his mark in the professional leagues of Italy, Spain and Brazil. He became an authentic scoring machine with a style that was all his own. Kobe gets a chance to play with his childhood idol.

I have never heard of this dude.
He was drafted in 84? 1884?

He never came to the NBA because apparently in those days if you play in the NBA you can't play for your national team. He decided he wanted to play for Brazil so he didn't want to play for the Nets. (i got this info from his HOF speech).

He had a lot of pride for his country.
 
From Wikipedia:

Oscar Schmidt played in the gold-medal match of the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis. The US national team, composed of college players at those games, featured David Robinson, Danny Manning, Pervis Ellison, Keith Smart, Rex Chapman, and Dan Majerle. Brazil faced a 68–54 halftime deficit. Schmidt finished with 46 points, in a 120–115 win.
