If they could overcome the very different rules and styles, then it'd be interesting.

European teams tend to be heavy on shooting and passing, they've got some solid defensive schemes, but some of them wouldn't work because of the different rules. They still draw charges, rotate well and do their thing. And these are elite teams from the Euroleague.

A team like that would win at least 45 games, IMO, and probably more. I mean, hell, look at what the Raptors did in 06-07, they won 47 games with a team that wouldn't be far different from a conventional European team.

Eh, that's borderline playoffs. In the scrimmages preseason, Euroleague teams don't seem to fair as well. I would say that the top team might cap at just outside the playoffs at ~35 ish wins.
