Don't forget Hayward
Not saying he wont pan out..he has a better skill set than most coming into the league, but its not a slam dunk that many are making it out to be imo
i actually made the argument he's the GOAT euro but that was a semi-troll argument that was met with some resistance
2/3s
- Bogdanovic - meh
- Petrovic- big success
- Giricek- wack
- Planinic- wack
- Ukic- wack
- Welsch- wack
- De Colo- wack
- Pietrus- good
- Papanikolau- TBD
- Belinelli- good but spot shooter
- D'Antoni- mediocre player
- Kleiza- pretty good
- Marciulonas- good
- Savovic- wack
- Lampe- epic bust
- Karasev- bust
- Korolev- epic bust
- Jaric- mediocre
- Nedovic- the "european derrick rose" bust
- Stojakovic- good
- Vujacic- belinelli type career but not as good as him IMO
- Fernandez- good but didnt last, hated it here
- Claver- wack
- Navarro- wack
- Sergio Rodriguez- 1/2 but wack
- Thabo- good
- Vesely- epic bust
Edit: Nevermind
Upshaw is going to dominate

None of these guys were viewed as being prospects as good as Hezonja.
Even from a personality standpoint he's different than them, he's viewed as a selfish & cocky player that doesn't trust his teammates

A few of those guys were lotto/first rounders and were touted as having elite athleticism (didnt they keep showing vesely jumping over a car)
karasev and korolev were also recent "Athletic" guys who were flat-out garbage
i do like his arrogance but its yet to be seen how an arrogant rookie white euro wing will be viewed by other players in the league. again, he has a skill-set and resume that is quite solid but he's going to need a perfect landing spot to work quickly or a resolute determination to stick it out rather than go back to europe if it doesnt and neither are guarantees. hell, its not even a guarantee his confidence/arrogance will carry over immediately either.

Philly would be ideal. If they get #1, trade down with a team that wants their pick of okafor and towns and scoop him.

Karasev has the skill he just doesn't take his career seriously.
He's never stepped foot in the weight room and is blowing all his money on strippers and escorts.
He will be back in Europe soon.

None of those guys were top 10 projected, Hezonja could go in the top 5, he'll be the first Euro wing since Gallo taken top 10. So, he's viewed as a better prospect, especially since this isn't really a weak draft.

You don't really seem to know shyt about european players, their history in the league, or their scouting reports at the time.
ok..aside from reading every scouting site possible for over a decade and focusing on draft express since it came out.
hezonja is the best wing prospect clearly (shooting+athleticism whereas many before were one or the other) but hes not a bonafide all-star YET and is not a guarantee to flourish off the bat. a lot people are talking him up to be a 16-18 ppg guy first year in and im saying slow the fukk down on all that.
u still salty about the knicks and your boy maciej?
scouting reports at the time though (even though he wasnt a wing)
Some of them briefly were then fell out. He is viewed as a better prospect. Never said otherwise. Just trying to say that the athleticism and confidence (particularly those attributes) that sets him apart from his predecessors arent sure things to transfer over quickly.
