Hugo Gonzales finally got some playing time and had 14pts, 5reb, 2ast.

I'm getting started on a project to understand European league prospects better. Does anybody have any recommendations on what I should be looking at?

I've done a little digging and over the last 5-10 years there really hasn't been that much success for guys drafted out of European leagues, but when they hit they are almost all MVP level guys. They also, have typically been late 1st/2nd round picks, so maybe it's not too surprising. They tend to not play very many minutes vs NCAA guys. I also think it's difficult because there are so many leagues in Europe and I'm sure they are of varying quality.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am a big McNeeley fan.

it's kind of insane how good all the Montverde kids have been so far this year.

Talented kid. Could run wild off someone's bench.

Clear top 3 for me right now is Flagg, Harper, and Kasparas in that order.

Yep, except Harper at 1. Bailey at 4 for me as well. Pretty clear at the moment.

Late first round pick: Anthony Roy of Wiskey-Green Bay. Currently 2nd in NCAA in scoring and dropped over 30 on Ohio State. A 6'5" 2 guard.

If we walk away from this draft with Kasparas how are yall feeling?

That would depend on where we pick?

I'd feel like we have a competent lead guard who can fit what Will appears to like. Not an outright star, but a solid player at a position of need.

If we walk away from this draft with Kasparas how are yall feeling?

I think good and it might depend on what else we did. Did the Minny pick end up late lotto? Were we able to move up through trade to get someone we think also has star upside.

Math-wise ending up with Kasparas/Tre/Egor/Ace are the most likely outcomes.
