Sorry...he's a jew in Argenitna and somehow managed to follow Maccabi Tel-Aviv?!
North Carolina would hardy get to the top 8 teams in Europe. Why do you think the USA started sending NBA players to international tournaments instead of "NCAA stars"? Maybe because the rest of the world became too strong for those kids? And now you're telling me that EuroLeague is still weaker than the NCAA!?
Remember Indianapolis 2002? Here's link - might ring some more bells (actually this one should be h-bomb loud)
World Championship Indianapolis 2002
70% of NBA players would hardly make the team in Europe...Take away from any NBA team the top 4 players and you have a mediocre European team.
As for Lorbek - he's named the European rookie of the year, 8 ppg, 5 rebounds in 20 minutes played. This was the first stage of the Euroleague.
In the second stage (top 16) his numbers (and the level of the game as well) grow big time - averaged 12,5 ppg while shootin 56% from the field and 62% from 3 point range, 5 rebounds in 23 minutes played.
Lorbek's stats 2004/2005
Now...can you explain where did you get those 6&4 figures?
Anyway - you Pacers fans are know for you basketball knowledge. You actually didn't want one Reggie Miller at the time he was drafted...And Primoz Brezec? He's soft, can't play...cut him...well, now you got Scott Pollard... What you deserved.
