[@Nobrainer19073]

Luka achieved a lot more than Wemby before draft. He was youngest MVP in Europe league. Wemby won nothing in Europe basketball and decided to move to a bad team before the NBA draft. Luka played for Madrid for so many good years

[@iamchaunceman]

Wemby was supposed to play in the real Euro league that Luka played in but his “team” opted for lower quality competition and one game a week. Also only playing French teams so no crazy travel. Plus that guarantees his numbers stay high. Luka would have averaged 50/15/15 in a French league.

im pretty sure its because hes like 7'5 and moves like hes 6'5 and not luka lol

Nah, if you put on perspective at the numbers of europeans players, the majority flourish as NBA players, not as a superstar, but they will play very good minutes on the league.

My family is generational OU fans going back to my grandparents then before I was born my parents moved to Dallas so I grew up there with my brother & sister going to Mavs games. Unfortunately that also means I’m a cowboys fan but it is what it is. Love my Sooners & my Mavs/Cowboys! Luka & CeeDee my favorites.
