International Players On Your Team

Post #1 » by **Trader_Joe** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 10:04 pm

Who are they? And thus how many are there?
What is the most your team has ever had on a roster?
(interested to see what the record is)

Asking for a couple reasons.
Reading the Warrior Owner email article, I came across this stat:
"the league's 30 teams will have a record 101 international players from 37 countries and territories on opening-night rosters for the upcoming season."

6 of those international players will be on the Nets which is a record for them:

Jorge Guitterez - Mexico
Bojan Bogdaonvic - Croatia
Sergei Karasev and Andrei Kirilenko - Russia
Mirza Teletovic - Bosnia (though from the same town, Mostar, as Bogdanovic and the late Petrovic)
Jerome Jordan - Jamaica

Part of this is the Nets following the Spurs, and Thunder, and league wide trend of investing in the international pool, some of this is marketing (which is fine as long as they don't conflict like they did with the Yi experiment) and some it is trying to recover lost assets like draft picks by scouring for and appealing to the international pool of talent.

It might be interesting to see if there is anything to take away from the teams with the most or least international players. From off the court metrics such as market-size/type, team valuation, marketing and sales, average draft position to on the court metrics such as pace, offensive rating, defensive rating, passing, etc. Not sure if anything will or could be found given all the variables and potentially too small a sample size, but it might be interesting.

Currently we have three: Kanter (Turkish), Exum (Australian) and Gobert (French).

We've had a couple of notables over the years (Kirilenko, Okur) but I doubt we've ever had anything approaching *six* at the same time.
