Stay in Europe or Go to College? The Decision That Shapes Draft Stock
Manage episode 450372390 series 2642029
In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, host Rafael Barlowe and guest Alec Kichian delve into the tough decisions facing international prospects when choosing between staying in Europe or pursuing college basketball in the United States.
They highlight Egor Demin, the Russian point guard who left Real Madrid to play for BYU, where his NBA draft stock has soared after just three games. In contrast, Hugo Gonzalez, arguably Europe’s top 2006-born prospect, is struggling for consistent minutes with Real Madrid’s senior team.
The discussion also covers Kasparas Jakucionis, who is finding opportunities at Illinois, and Michael Ruzic, a potential first-round pick limited to just four shots per game in Spain.
In the final segment, they examine international players like Aday Mara, Baba Miller, and Jan Vide, whose NBA hype has faltered after underwhelming starts to their college careers.
NBA Draft analyst Rafael Barlowe from NBA Draft Junkies and current author of the NBA Big Board newsletter is joined by Richard Stayman (@MavsDraft), James Barlowe, and Leif Thulin to breakdown the NBA Draft. Rafael & Team gives passionate NBA Draft fans a deep look into the NBA Draft with great guests, Mock Draft, player rankings, and of course BIG BOARDs. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network.
