Why exactly. Why do you think Woy is some fortune teller and has eyes, spies in all organizations?

Where can one watch draft from Europe? Any streams or something? Thanks!

Sportklub 1 or just google zorrostream and find it there. Bunch of ads will open, just close them all until stream starts.

It's weird to see Luka standing by these guys. Probably will be even weirder to see Luka go against NBA superstars.

What the hell.........

And they are acting like he was some great player in Europe......

played in 2nd division in France

played in 2nd division in Italy

played in one of the worst teams in Turkish League

played in a small Greek league club, and had at best, average stats.....

never even played at a European wide league level....

What a bunch of total BS. Doncic at 16 was playing in a higher level than this "best player never drafted" was at 30.

Indeed for those Prepelič or Vidmar might be some big revelation, while needless to say, at least now we got to stop listening about Dragič's mediocrity and only being able to perform in NBA, which were mostly based on those few laughable games with Baskonia, where he was clearly out of shape just as most other NBA players waiting for the lockout to end.

We could set a simmilar example with Spain, divide Spanish NT to two equal teams (Gasol bros+ Hernandez bros. + add Rodriguez, Rubio, llull, Rudy, Abrines, Navarro, Vives...) and both teams would be expected to meet in the euroleague finals.
Or second example, French NT ended up 12th in the eurobasket, but looks twice as talented as Žalgiris that ended up 4th in euroleague. You see what I did there?
Basketball isn't about the rosters only. If it was, this wouldn't be the first Slovenian medal in eurobasket's history.

As much as you hate to admit that, just as NBA has a big advantage individualy, so do the european NBAers that are in majority a notable upgrade upon euroleague talent.

I don't believe anyone that won't say EuroLeague is better than EuroBasket actually does watch any European basketball all that regularly, or certainly at least not both competitions regularly. Maybe around 10 or so of the teams in EuroBasket probably couldn't win more than 2-3 games in a EuroLeague season.

Maybe EuroBasket was comparable to EuroLeague years ago, but in recent years its very clearly worse than EuroLeague.

in each case the mirotic statement (eurobasket was level below the euroleague and EUROCUP) is just a pure joke. thats my point

I never said that. I said below EuroLeague. I never once said below EuroCup.

Just by reading between the lines over the past week or so, it actually looks like the Kings are going to pass on him, which is quite shocking to me.

Actually what is much more ridiculous would be the Suns passing on him. Even when they have Kokoskov and he knows that 90% of the so-called "weaknesses" stuff said about Doncic in US media isn't even accurate.

Yes but the Suns are under much heavier pressure to select Ayton. Their owner is even from the same university. And quite frankly, Ayton is a much better prospect than Bagley.

I guess that Vivek really likes Bagley.

Is Luka only 6' 5" - 6' 6"? Miles Bridges is 6' 5 1/4" no shoes. I was kind of surprised by the draft class photo.

And we are back to his height... He is cleary taller than Miles.
