slash787ParticipantDraftexpress use to have an NBA Rights held rankings on their website and they discontinued it. I was wondering if some of you international experts can provide a list? I’m not claiming to be an expert by any means but I have been doing a lot of research and this is what I have put together. Just a top 5 but I am looking for a top 20.
The NBA Rights Held are players that were drafted but remain overseas. Thanks for your help!
1. Nikola Mirotic
2. Fran Vazquez
3. Jonas Valanciunas
4. Dontas Motiejunas
5. Ante Tomic/Sergio Llull/Joel Freeland

Mr. 19134ParticipantJonas should absultely be number one dude. Mirotic is good but nowhere near as good as JV and doesn’t project to be any better in the pro’s.

pohani komaracParticipantJonas might be more talented and will end better, but at the moment Mirotic is better player.

zolaParticipantValanciunas will be the best of them
Mirotic will be really nice too. He has size, shoot, IQ, experience
Vazquez could be a good back-up C to Howard next year
I’ve never watched Motiejunas live, so I can’t say anything about him. Ante Tomic is too soft for NBA and IDK how Freeland’s and Llull’s game would translate to NBA. They are very good European players. Nick Calathes was drafted by Wolves and he is very good PG.
Davis Bertans plays for my team, Partizan Belgrade. He is very talented, but he has a lot of work to do before he goes to NBA

HitsterParticipantValanciunas is clearly the best long term rights held prospect and should be in Toronto next year. Motiejunas could be brought over now Houston have moved Jordan Hill on and I would assume Chicago might have a long term plan for Mirotic.
I’ll also throw Victor Claver into the mix who Portland hold the rights to.

slash787ParticipantThanks for your imput everyone. Does anyone want to take the plunge and make a list? That is what I am looking for. Like I said I’m not an expert. If someone wants to throw a list together I’d love to see it.

cidjulianParticipantGreat list but how about the Greek PG who played at Florida?!? His name escapes me right now but dude hoops for real!!! I was soooo very disappointed when the Lakers passed on him, Budinger and Patrick Mills in 2009. Damn I can not remember dudes name but he hoops and if I remember right, Minnesota drafted him. I’m not sure if they’ve moved him since.

HitsterParticipantThe Bulls will surely look to bring Mirotic over fairly soon as he is playing well in Europe, he’d give them extra frontcourt depth and allow Boozer and Noah to watch their minutes.
