None of them are horrible, but witht he exception of Tony Parker, none are very good.

Predrag Stojakovic wasn't really the biggest of the stars in Europe when drafted (wasn't bad, but really wasn't THAT good)

He's talking about people like Darko Milicic who average 1/1.

Here's another thing - 1998 NBA draft - selected first - Michael Olowokandi. Then there was the lockout and Olowokandi went to Italy to play for Kinder Bologna. He was there playing with one Rasho Nesterovic. Olowokandi was presented like this huge star, 1st NBA draft pick...well he was just a backup for Nesterovic and didn't really shine (wasn't bad, but from the first NBA pick you'd expect more) in those 3 games he played in the "weak" Euroleague.

Olowakandi is a horrible NBA player. I'd assume he was also pretty bad in Europe.
