    Unless he improves his English, he's got no shot at being the next Dick Stockton (despite the receding hairline).

    Lots of people look great in Europe.. Serge, Rudy, etc.

    At some point you have to realize that they are no longer "developing" and are instead just getting older.
    If they were good enough to be here they would be, but as it is now, they don't seem to even warrant the D-League.

    This is slightly tangential to the topic, but I think it's where this question goes...

    Did Brandon Jennings become a better player by going to Europe? Did he "develop" over there, or just get older? And does it matter since he was an outlier anyway...a heralded lotto-pick-to-be , and not a European of mediocre athleticism?

    In my opinion, he was not any better having left europe than he would have been staying here and going to a year of college...

    and more humble, which may have been exactly what he needed.
