Kings Looking to Europe

By | 0 Comments | Feb 16, 2019

As Jones writes, there are no international prospects considered worthy of a top-6 pick. Czech Jan Vesely was in the mix that high before pulling out. The top international prospect draft bible DraftExpress lists is Donatas Motiejunas at No. 12. Motiejunas is a 7-foot Lithuanian who plays for Treviso (Andrea Bargnani's old team). Petrie mentions visiting Treviso during his European trip — they play today at home Carife, and given the team doesn't play at home again during Petrie's trip, we'll assume he's attending that match-up. Treviso also plays host to the adidas Eurocamp, but that's not until the first week of June.

DraftExpress lists just one other international player in the first round of its latest mock draft: Kevin Seraphin of Cholet, a 20-year-old 6'9 center from French Guiana. Cholet played Saturday, but not again until after the Euroleague Final Four.

DX's current second round international prospects include Miroslav Raduljica, a 7-footer from Serbia; Alexey Shved, a 21-year-old combo guard from Russia; German wing Robin Benzing, who apparently can't get out of his club contract this summer; Nemanja Bjelica, a 21-year-old Serbian swingman; Vladimir Dasic of Montenegro, a 6'9 combo forward; and Spain's Pablo Aguilar, a 6'8 face-up power forward.

There's a lot going on in the Old World, and we'll see if anyone strikes Petrie's fancy. The Kings have the No. 33 pick in the draft, as well as one in the top six.
