It's not as farfetched to make this "invalid" cross generalization with currency as the denominating factor. If money is some kind of public notice of value, whatever those qualities of the notes therein convey may also therein be conveyed in the identity of the note carriers.
It's a dangerous generalization but useful in a scientific approach to intuiting metaphysical outcomes based on how outside influences effect/determine internal value systems at the deepest levels of identity...bs, no.

Here is how I see how we view players, it has less to do with how much we see of them, and more about what we see from them.

Upside>>>>>Skill.

More Upside>>>More Skill.

High skill=Low upside.

Low skill=High upside.

Low skill>>>>>High skill.

Zimbabwe dollar = Low skill.

Turkish gold = High skill.

Zimbabwe dollar >>>>>>>> Turkish Gold.

Goodness.

May I? Yes. The Euro is worth more than the American Dollar. Currencies also worth more include: The British Pound and the Canadian Dollar. Last checked the Mexican Peso is still worth less than the American Dollar but there are still hours left in the day. NBA players are paid in American Dollars.

The EU is now also the world's largest economy.

2010 est.
1 European Union $ 14,820,000,000,000
2 United States $ 14,660,000,000,000
3 China $ 10,090,000,000,000
4 Japan $ 4,310,000,000,000
5 India $ 4,060,000,000,000

Yikes, he air balled a free throw extended jumper, came up about 2 feet short. Not good for him. People like to say work outs don't play a huge part in determining draft stock, but you know things like this stick with gm's.

Strange that none of the jazz scouts were sitting together, not even close to each other actually.

Tired? Nerves? Seems like an odd performance for a guy who shot 55% from the field and 43% from 3 during Italian league play. I wouldn't read too much into one workout.

Motiejunas isn't a good shooter anyway, but he is still in the playoffs so he is tired.

He has a good body on him, looks like a bigger gallo to me, different skill sets entirely, but same build. Probably should have just skipped the work out session, his best skill is his passing anyways, can't really show that 1 on 0. I could still see the jazz taking him at 12.
