Do you think that if cases continue to emerge where NBA teams get burned by drafting an international player who decides to stay home and sign with a domestic team, or a player from a country who will not release the player's rights, that NBA teams may get gun shy with using their draft picks on European and other International Players? Or will the threat of their competitors picking up the next best international prospect be enough of a threat to keep NBA clubs picking them? Good Post!

I dont understand their prestige in the NBA circles. Roko is a bad defender and pretty much the same type than Ford. Vázquez has a low basketball IQ and vanish from time to time. Papaloukas is smarter than most NBA guards but he's well paid in Moscu (around 5-6 million €) and he's not moving without a better offer. Splitter, Marc Gasol and Rudy have been dominating their leagues and are ready to travel if they have a decent offer. Vázquez and Roko Ukic are average players right now.

It looks like he has lost a lot of his potential. He has been struggling since he was picked in the Draft. First in Gerona and then in Barcelona. Good defensive player but a lot to work and learn about offensive play. I think Fran Vázquez should wait at least another year. It looks like he has lost a lot of his potential.
