 I notice with interest that Pablo Prigioni is still a good contributer to the Knicks off the bench at 37 years of age. Considering that he did not come to the NBA until he was 35 years old and past his peak, what do people think his NBA career would have been like if he’d come over a decade or more earlier.

Would he have stuck in the league for a long time or would his output not have ben much greater than it currently is and he’d have likely returned to Europe after a few years where he’d have got good offers.

Personally I don’t think he’d have been a major star but he would have been a very useful role player/ leading bench guy for several years in the NBA.

Pablo Prigioni is one of the players I can label as a "basketball player". He’s fundamentally sound so you can pretty much put him in any lineup and he’ll do all the little things that matter, but he’s not going to be a star. He’s kinda like the players that the Spurs usually sign.

 In his prime, I definitely would’ve seen him be something of an Andre Miller.Their games are different from an aesthetic perspective but they do many of the same things on the court as slow-footed unathletic PGs. Prigioni, however, has the advantage of being a pretty good perimeter shooter though, which really could’ve set the two apart on the offense. Defensively, Miller would’ve had the advantage; he was blocking big men’s shots into his early 30’s. In any case, Pablo really messed up by waiting so long to come to the NBA. He’s kind of like the Arydias Sabonis of PG’s. Hopefully he gets dealt to a team like the Spurs that can at least give him an opportunity to win a ring before he leaves the basketball world for good.
