There are about 100 foreign born players in the NBA...
Foreign born is different than only played in foreign leagues. I'd have to research, but what % of foreign born players didn't play in the US (College or semi pro) 1st?

I absolutely can't stand all of the foreign picks... History has proven they're wasted picks... It ruins the draft for me.
This was the statement...
Read what I asked. There is a difference and he wasn't talking about foreign born players who play in US colleges etc, he was talking about foreign players who haven't set foot basically in US yet to play in some college or league. Again, there is a difference and you threw out a "around 100", but of those, how many for into the played here in US before vs played only on foreign teams. I'm sure you understand what his point / my point is.

So did you do the math?
I wasn't really digging that deep. Saying the foreign players makes you not watch the draft seems like an odd statement. Seems like if there were better American players they would go first...
