I don’t know who any of these players are…

And I don’t know if the braintust of the teams making the picks do either, but I know why it seems like teams are just randomly picking European players who may, or more likely, may not ever play in the NBA. They don’t have to pay them for a couple years and they don’t have to focus on developing them either; something that NBA coaching staffs aren’t any good at anyway. By taking the likes of Nando De Colo, Emir Preldzic, and Sergiy Gladyr, teams save some scratch and roster space for a couple of years. And if the guy ends up panning out, you look like a genius for taking him.
