Would Saric/Capela/Nurkic have similar #'s in college bball?

As they do in the Adriatic/French leagues? Obviously fit would matter but what kind of numbers would they have?

My feeling is these are pro leagues that are much deeper than college, playing against men. They would likely have better numbers in most cases. Also the style is a little different as well. comparing the numbers can be tricky, really have to watch some games.

Saric could be a slightly different version of Kyle Anderson, he is already the best player in the Adriatic league and he has all the tools, now that he is hitting shots to dominate at college level.
Nurkic is massive and aggresive, think about DeMarcus Cousins at Kentucky type of numbers.
I dont know that much about Capela.

College has more talent at the top, more athleticism, less team depth.

Adriatic League has more experience, more size, more complete rosters. Btw it's not some great league to watch compared to other european ones.

The key difference really is the rules: 24 secs instead of 35, longer three point line etc etc., basically a different ballgame.

No idea how numbers would translate between them.

Sounds like those two should go top 5 following the big-3 then.

Watching some more footage of Nurkic today. He reminds me of Miles Plumlee on the Suns. Could make a similar impact as a starter.

A 40lbs heavier Miles Plumlee would be a good comparison.
