There are a lot of players in Europe that seem for this draft to almost go totally unnoticed that if they were NCAA players would definitely be well known. That does not mean these players would all be great players or picks or anything, I am not saying that. Just that if they were in NCAA they would be well known. But they are almost unheard of it seems in this draft. I am sure that out of some names here, some teams can find a good player.

Luka Mitrovic
Sasha Vezenkov
Willy Hernangomez
Cedi Osman
Arturus Gudaitis
Dani Diez
Nedim Buza
Nikola Milutinov
Mateusz Ponitka
Marcus Eriksson
Giannoulis Larentzakis
Guillem Vives
Awudu Abass
Devon Van Oostrum
Paul Zipser
Dimitrios Agravanis
Lefteris Bochoridis
Ilimane Diop
Lucas Dias
Mam Jaiteh
Moussa Diagne

I just list for example, some names of players available from Europe and Dias from Brazil, that have done good in youth tournaments, youth leagues, and youth camps. I probably miss a lot of such players also, but just list some. But you can surely find some good picks there.

I put the ones in bold that already had some time as 10-12 type man rotation players in Euroleague at some point. So, no players there anything more than a role player even from the best ones. But understand that Hezonja is a role player in his Euroleague team also.

So, there are some guys there, even that not a word is being said about them. Guys like Luka Mitrovic and Dimitrios Agravanis are already showing quite a bit for their age in Euroleague, and to be honest it's a bit strange they are not listed as first round draft picks. Dani Diez also showed quite a bit for his age in Euroleague last year. Then you have someone like Lefteris Bochoridis that was always looking like one of the best guards in Europe in his age group easily in every youth tournament he played in. All those players you can see barely a blip of them or nothing at all for this draft. So any of them could be most underrated prospect.

I'm going to have to say Mudiay I think him and Towns are 1A and 1B in this draft instead Mudiay won't even go top 3.
