     Specifically speaking on the foreigners who come over for a brief stint and choose not to return. Do you miss anyone in particular?

    I bring this up because looking at this Blazer roster I can only wish Rudy Fernandez was still in action.

    Juan Carlos Navarro as well I believe, he always blows me away during international play.

     NBA talents who chose to leave:

    Linas Kleiza- He was a  good scorer but didn’t really contribute much else. That game-winner he hit when he was with Denver really stands out to me

    Juan Carlos Navarro- Probably the best scorer who is not in the NBA. His is more of a "combo" guard and it limited his effectiveness somehwat IMO

    Rudy Fernandez- He had a good rookie year, but he shot really poorly his next two seasons. He is an NBA rotation player though without a doubt.

    Sarunas Jasikevicius- Its been a while since he’s been in the league, but I felt he was a very capable backup point guard and spot starter who didnt get a chance to play in Golden State after he was traded. He left because his contract of 7 million euros was significantly more than what he made in the NBA AND he got to be a star overseas as well.

    Nenad Krstic- Once a promising player for the Nets, he was still an above-average rotation player for OKC and Boston, but he left during the lockout and never cam back.

    Maciej Lampe- He "left" when he was only 20 years. He clearly was not ready for the NBA, but had the best season of his career last year averaging 13.9 and 6.1 for Caja Laboral at 28.

    Bostjan Nachbar- Had the best season of his career averaging a shade under 10 pts in only 22 mpg before he decided to sign a 10 million euro deal in Europe.

    Andres Nocioni- Was he really that washed up where he couldn’t eve make Philly’s rotation the past 2 seasons?

    Sergio Rodriguez- Always like his flair and craftiness, but he blew it big when he couldn’t keep the starting job for the Knicks. He has a lot of hype when he was drafted as well. He could be a solid back-up point guard in the league for sure.

    Vassilis Spanoulis- Hard to tell because he wasn’t in the rotation and only played one season. He is still an absolute star in Europe and believe he didn’t get a fair shot in the NBA.

    Roko Ukic- Talented combo that requested the Bucks waive him after the Raptors traded him because he wasnt satisfied with playing time.

     How about that guy the clippers drafted in the lotto from Yugoslavia in 2005? I forget his name. Koralev?

     

    Oh and Oleksie Pecherov. 

     

    Man, some all time classic names coming out there.
