Yes, I've never understood why they don't. Tradition perhaps?

Let's put it like this: The NBA generates a ****ton of cash that they don't distribute to the owners. I don't think it would be impossible to interview the GMs and based on their evaluation pack a measurement set, take a plane and visit various cities to measure top prospects that applied for the draft.

I wouldn't be surprised either-- but of course, we're dealing with ceilings here as well.

I doubt he's as good as those guys or better. With all the scouting that has been done I would think he would be a top 3 prospect if he was. Doesn't mean he isn't since anything is possible but I doubt it. Also he's not playing in Spain or one of the other top leagues, the talent level in his League is below the NCAA top conferences
 
As far as measurements, these guys have been measured in the past year when they played in the u19 tournaments. Saric was measured as 6'10 but with the same wingspan as his height

Exum was 6'6 with a 6'9.25 wingspan

Hmmmm...i always heard the Adriatic league was one of the best. I wonder how one really finds this stuff out.

Well there is the Adidas Eurocamp where a lot of the Euro and other international guys attend. It is June 7-9. Still dont know if Saric would attend though.

Certainly a strong league. Comprises teams from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, etc. Some teams are certainly underfunded, but a lot of strong young players.

Also, in regard to the scouting - Nba people have missed so often on Euros, both overrating and underrating them - that I put almost zero stock in that.

Any of those players better than Exum?

JK...looks like Jazz are dredging the bottom looking for talent among players not likely to be drafted.
