Dominique Wilkins born in France is missing from the list completely.

Kyrie should be on the new generation also.

Right now, how can you say that Banchero for example deserves to be placed on such lists? Based on 30 games? It's not fair to him.

Technically Banchero's career stats are 20-7-4 which put him on this list which is not based on career achievements but mostly on average production during prime years. And if you say it is based in his case only on 30 games sample isn't that actually an argument in his favor because out of all 30+30 names listed just a few (not more than 5) have more impressive numbers in the first 30 NBA games than Banchero! That said, of course, it is not a guarantee for his future HoF level, but is a very good sign.

Unlike Hakeem Olajuwon, they have not naturalized Americans but just American citizens born overseas.

Much more is the complicated cases of Tim Duncan and Karl-Anthony Towns. Duncan is from the US Virgin Islands which is a US territory but is an independent member of the IOC and FIBA, and KAT which is born and raised in the USA represented as the junior Dominican Republic.

Lmao, Banchero was literally born in Seattle. If you're going to be as lenient with the international qualifications for current players then you need to do the same with retired players. Patrick Ewing is one that comes to mind, he was born in Jamaica.

Joakim Noah was born in NYC, lived in the USA his whole life, but represent France since the beginning, so you do not complain because his father was a famous French tennis player not an ordinary Italian? If Paolo decided from the start to represent Italy (Ewing chose the USA but unlike Olajuwon, he comes to the USA as a child) who am I to forbid him?

Personally, I don't count US-born internationals as real internationals. Or players like Duncan and Towns, who are also Americans since they're from US territories.

Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic have their own decent national teams in FIBA competition should be excluded.

For those born in the USA, it is not the same if players who have no chance to play for the team USA chose during their playing career to represent some other random country and like in Paolo Banchero's case who is #1 draft pick and would play for the USA if he wants :dontknow:
