And besides, money isnt made in the lotto unless you are a giant bust and ned to live the rest of your life on that couple million. Even then, 1 or 2 picks isnt a huge deal.

Darko is a major reason why teams are more dubious when it comes to foreign players. Rubio would never have been taken fifth overall if he hadn't played so well against the USA team in the olympics.
If you think there's no point in going to play CBB over euroleague, fine. But clearly the kid and his family and advisers do, because he's visiting schools now and reports are he's leaning toward college.
To pretend that CBB doesn't offer advantages over the Euroleague is just silly.
