A record 26 international players were selected in 2016 NBA Draft

They only do this when the draft weak as fukk but it's a shame they rather give a shot to a nikka overseas that's been getting paid than to an American prospect with the same abilities who couldn't get paid because of "ncaa" rules

the league is softer than a bytch's titties on her period

I will say this though......France be putting so many brothas in the NBA draft you would swear they were a team from the SWAC or MEAC back in the 1960s.

True and also the league and American media will tell American players IE black players that they need to go to college or stay in college. Then the league turns around and drafts a dude from Europe. Where as that same player that was told to go to college/stay in college gets drafted behind a dude overseas that never even finished high school and been playing as a professional since he was 15.

shyt is insane man.

So just like 2016, that 2003 draft was a weak shytshow except for like 5 guys (Henny Bron, Melo, Bosh, Wade...and maybe another guy or two)

B-bu-but international players are making the game way better.

That's really crazy to go back and look at. Maybe 4 of those guys had what I would consider good considers. Then a couple decent fringe guys like Delfino and Pavlovic. 6/21 is absolutely horrific.

And yet people will still see NBA reaching for talent from all over the world and STILL claim the league was more talented in the 80s and 90s.

Jamal Crawford was the best player from that entire class
