Fox Signs Max (SuperMax potential)
- Thread starter SLAB
- Start date
As I said in my post, it's just my opinion. Most of his skill set generally transfers to the next level. He was one of the prospects that was almost universally praised. His main weakness is his lack of strength. According to his interview with Sean Cunningham he played at 168 last year and is currently at 185.
Yeah, pretty much.
No one actually cares about his Euro accomplishments. It's stupid when you fail to account for them when you trying to make a draft pick, but no one actually bats an eye when you try to go around flaunting your Euroleague accomplishments at the NBA level.
It's the sort of thing that would get you laughed out of the room if you brought it up.

I read the Athletic. I did not see an article in Athletic that says that Bogdan turned down the Bucks deal because Hawks would give him a stupidly big contract. can you point me to it?
I did see multiple threads with speculation in them, yes, but that cannot be pointed to as the proof of said speculation.

Still the Maxwell's mentality facing Drazen Petrovic...
Bogdanovic had accomplishments with the national team as well, don't they count either?
Personally, when I judge a basketball player I consider all the competition he played in.
Several hall of famer didn't even play in the NBA because it was another basketball era.

They may count when you consider the basketball hall of fame, but it counts for nothing when negotiating an NBA contract. Hell you could have won the MVP 3 years ago and that counts for little if you stunk up the place for the last 2 years... Its a what have you done for me league.
In fact it may hurt you to be overly involved in international basketball because you dont get paid anything, the NBA team is the one taking the risk if you get iniured. They cant cut you like NFL. Teams can say what they like publicly but they absolutely do not want their guys playing international ball. I wouldn't be surprised if some type of mechanism to get recompense for injury to a player who got injured in international ball comes up in CBA eventually.

Here's a simple way to look at it. There are many who think Arvydas Sabonis had the talent to be oneof the greatest centers to ever play the game. However, he was not allowed to come play in the NBA until he was past his prime with 2 bad knees. As a result, you will find very few who rank him in their top 10 centers all time & some who wouldn't put him in their top 20. Ultimately, players are judged by what they do against the best competition, not on how they dominated against weaker competition.
Another example to consider. There are college players who put up big numbers in weaker conferences every year who go later than players in big conferences because of the competition. Sometimes they end up proving everyone wrong, more often, they don't.
