Quote:"Who is the best international player NOT in the NBA?
1. Jonas Valanciunas -- 36.0%
2. Juan Carlos Navarro -- 32.0%
3. Andrei Kirilenko -- 20.0%
Also receiving votes: Furkan Aldemir, Mirza Teletovic, Milos Teodosic
Last year: Ricky Rubio -- 42.3%"
Should I laugh or cry with this shit???
Neither laugh or cry. The question "Who is the best international player NOT in the NBA?" has a different meaning to GM than you or me. This is a GM (general manager) survey so they are "only" thinking of NBA prospects. In other words players that will make their team better and fit in the NBA. They are not simply selecting the best international player that is non-American. This is why Jonas V, La Bomba, AK 47 got votes because GM want those players in NBA. The question would be better stated; "Who is the best international NBA prospect not in USA?". So yeah these guys are thinking about who will make the team better not simply best player.
