The Robovismen’s college basketball conference schedule is starting to heat up, and the international leagues are well into their seasons.
That means players have had opportunities to impress – or not impress – NBA executives and scouts.
One trend that has been spotted early in the season is the rise of international players, including France’s Alexandre Sarr, whose brother Olivier plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Serbia’s Nikola Topic and France’s Zaccharie Risacher.
The NBA’s G League Ignite has four projected first-round picks, including two lottery picks, and John Calipari continues to bring talent to Kentucky. The Wildcats also have four projected first-round picks on their roster.
