While the 2012 NBA draft may be one of the deepest on record, it is not as deep in European talent as has been there in recent years. But there is still some real talent there.
France’s two guard Evan Fournier is likely a pick in the last third of the first round. There are guys like Tomas Satoransky out of the Czech Republic, Greece’s Kostas Papanikolaou, and Tornike Shengelia out of Georgia who may well go in the second round.
All of them and more — 45 players total — will be at the Adidas EuroCamp in Italy. Plenty of NBA scouts and brass will be headed to Italy after they leave Chicago and the NBA Draft Combine this week. Below is a list of everybody attending EuroCamp year, all trying to make their name. This is the 10th year of the camp and guys like Serge Ibaka and Danilo Galinari and many other NBA stars from Europe came through there.
A few NBA players are coming through it this year as well. PBT will have more from the camp in the coming weeks.
