List of Rocket draft picks playing overseas and where they are currently playing

Have we heard anything at all that suggests that any of these guys is coming over this season or the next one?

 

would of been nice to get some of these guys over for summer league, but alas no summer league this year

 

I am pretty sure that the Rockets traded Hervelle's rights. Hervelle is not near to anything resembling a star in Europe. He is a strict role player. But I am positive that he would have no problem playing in the NBA.

He would do the same thing he does in Europe. Play as a championship caliber type role player. He is like Brian Cardinal with actual talent and ability.

 

Provide a link then, because every site I've looked at has the Rockets still owning his rights.

Hervelle is a decent player and I guess the Rockets could bring him over some day, should they be desperate for depth, but I don't see it, giving Hervelle's advanced age.

 

28 is "advanced age"?

He has no reason to play in the NBA anyway.

 

The Rockets won't need any depth for at least a year. Probably two. Perhaps even longer than that.

29, 30 or 31 certainly is an advance age for a 'rookie'.
Besides, most European players need a year to adjust anyway.

Like you said though, it doesn't really matter, because he'll get to play more in Europe and probably make more money, too.

 

He does not play that much in Europe though. He is a role player there.

 

This guy came to us at age 27. But I know Scola's level and Hervelle's level are definitely not on the same playing field.

 

What ever happened to malicke badienne?

 

this elay ahh ooooo guy looks like he could actually possibly be better than d-mo. his moves around the basket are sick.

 

He is actually way better than Motiejunas at the current time.

 

You know, if you're going to start a thread called "List of Rocket draft picks playing overseas and where they are currently playing", the least you can do is spend the five to ten minutes googling that topic so that you actually do list the Rocket draft picks playing overseas and where they are currently playing - not just ask somebody else to do that work for you.

1 star thread.

 

lol okay?

 

The Euroleague groups just got drawn.

Sergio Llull (Real Madrid) and Lior Eliyahu (Maccabi Tel Aviv) are in the same group (C).
Brad Newley's team is playing in the Euroleague qualifier. Should they qualify they'll play in group C also.
Maarty Leuen's team (Cantu) is in group A.

Spoiler

 

Traded to the Grizzlies years ago. They did sign him but was cut before the regular season began.

 

The schedule isn't finalized yet, but the qualifying round will start some time late October. The regular season will start some time mid September.

ESPN3 might show it, but I'm not certain on that.

 

ESPN3 airs 2 games a week of Euroleague, usually one of them is the game of the week. They also air the Euroleague Final Four. It is the same schedule that NBATV airs, except NBATV airs the games on about a week delay.

The chances of Cantu's games being aired are almost zero.
