In NBA draft there is a lot of players coming from a foreign country... why in BB is not like that? I think it can be a nice thing include 1 or 2 foreign players in each draft... in this way, some small nations with bad NT can have more chance to find a good player if that player is drafted by a polish, american, french or italian guy ( i think they are better than bahamas trainers or any other minor nation...) It could be a way to help this little countries to have an U21 and a NT better than they have... someone of those are really bad teams...

In real life, fiba allows any country team to have 1 naturalized player. So why cant for example bahamas or so naturalize some trash players like degulys or seporaitis?:D or Joe bronson. then they should have higher chances to compete...

Solidly good idea +1

i don't like it that much, since nationality play also a role on the economical decision. it might be fine when you get a player from bahamas then, you can sell through the guaranteed flag(or not any more), but if you like to keep your drafted player and then get less merchandise in return it would be bad.

Since draft are pretty much exclusiv in the states(or at least known), and there also in "american" sports where the league is the non plus ultra in that area. Not sure if the MLS have a draft, but i doubt, that someone for germany would register for it and i think it is like here it is more a home grown draft and the majority of leagues in buzzerbeater is more unimportant then the MLS. So it more a homegrown draft, there might be even a small percentage with a diffent but a real small percentage.

maybe we can think about it, when player "naturalize" over time at least for merchandise, when they live long enough for example in germany to speak the language and are well known for the fanbase. Then a small percentage of foreign draftee will only cause trouble for the scouts.

That's true, but it's more possible that a bahams player will go in the U21 than an italian... i think that a team with a player in an U21 team will earn more for the merchandise than a team with an italian starter potential... Drafting a Bahams player, you can have more chance to grow a NT player.

What if you deside to keep training him? Your own drafted players are the best for merchandise. Everything extra you can squeese out in larger countrys count!
