    Here is my starting 5

    PG Tony Parker
    SG Gordan Giricek
    SF Peja
    PF Dirk
    C Ilgauskas

    Bench

    Marko Jaric
    Hedo
    Kukoc
    Gasol
    Divac


    Thoughts?

    Dirk is the best European player right now and he wil probably be the best Euro player all time but right now still the best Euro player is Drazen Petrovic [​IMG]
    Sabonis is second

    Are Euro players almost there?

    Last year Gasol was ROY,Nowitzki is one of the best players in the league,Peja is great,Giricek is great rookie also,Zydrunas is playing great,Marko jaric will be good.

    How about 2003 NBA draft?

    I can guarante that all these guys are gonna be top 10 rookies:,
    Milicic,Varejao,Schorshintas,and Vujanic .

    Only guy I didn't watch live is Vujanic but I saw his few games and I think he still shouldn't go to the NBA but if he comes he will rock.
    Milicic is great,in 4 years he will be one of the best players in the NBA.
    Varejao is like Gasol, and Sofakilis is like baby Shaq....

    Mehmet Okur should be on that team. The only thing wrong with european players is that they cant play defence.

    Im sorry buit ive never been impressed with Iglauskas. maybe i dont whatch him enough. I think it has to be Dirk with Peja up there too. Peja is probably the best pure shooter in the game but Dirk is more versatile

    Marko Jaric

    I think the Clippers made a mistake trading for Andre Miller. They drafted a better point guard in Jaric. I think Jaric will be putting up stats like Arenas next year.

    Ginobilli is from Argentina, which is part of South America, not Europe.
