60 International Prospect Big Board Heading into 2024

[bravor]

On a side note, if a serb (or another euro) around can answer to this simple question. Is Luka Bogavac the son of former Vrsac player Nebojsa Bogavac ?
If so curious to know what position his son plays (wing like his dad ?)

Nice list of prospects, there is only one that should be removed.

According to Wikipedia he is indeed.

Thank you!
And who should be removed? Are they ineligible for some reason?

[bravor]

Baggette of course. With such a name, he should be a french prospect (i am french, and thanks for the pass ) !

Yeah Baby Bjelica Markovic is /will be an NBA player i think he's a draft and stash guy due to his very frail build but his motor/size/skills mean he will be a player, also keep an eye out if he gets playing time on Bosnajkovic (Real Madrid youth squad?), he reminds me a lot Brad Newelly from Australia (think he was drafted by Houston) he had a massive game in the Euro FIba u18 Final vs Spain.

My favorite underrated prospect is Lazar Djokovic who i mentioned earlier in the thread has the makings of a quality role player at any level at 6'10 super mobile and decent floor spacer and excellent motor will play in the NCAA for Xavier.

He's a scoring tall PG/chucker I have not been impressed by him at all he looked ok in ABA 2 liga last year, he can heat it up at times while he is talented maybe one day he can play Euroleague but it's hard he needs to dominate the ball to be effective and he's not good enough to do it currently.

[bravor]

Thanks for your reply. Anyway as you said, the nba is not the only league around. Will keep an eye on him (his father has some good network now here i think), even though as a combo guard it's not necessary the best position for bosman here.

I do like that he has a fixed starting role and solid minutes on SC Derby and they're doing pretty well. But I could buy an argument that they're succeeding in spite of him, his shot does seem a bit hit or miss so far.

I'm really mostly just going off of box scores here but he seems like he's had a few decent games already in a pretty tough league and I do think the NBA has a focus on size (but also versatility, and as you point out that doesn't really seem like a strong suit of his, at least yet). I don't know how serious of a candidate he is, so I apologize if where I have him might be an overestimation.

Hahaha
I had Jaylin Galloway on here for months so I was worried I still had someone who was auto-eligible some prior year because of weird rules again or had just declared early and I missed it.

[Pokuokic]

Slovenian Timmothy Malovac is a super unheralded player on Mega, he's there I guess PJ Tucker (same role different players), he reminds me of Rudion Kurocs with a actually jump shot. He's super consistent and just does his job he was great in Mega beating Partizan.

[JazzP]

Time for another weekly update!
Pokuokic I was just coming around to Malovec!!

It seems like a bit of an interesting point in the season, some of the top prospects are hitting a bit of a lull (except for Hansen Yang, who had a stellar performance in a double OT win this Saturday) and some youth standouts are slowly but finally starting to work their ways into their teams rotations, like Alexandros Samodurov and Ruben Prey.

It could just be an extremely hot take and I think my rankings do reflect a lack of confidence in the degree of this next statement, but: I think I might take the French LNB Pro B's top 3 prospects over the Betclic Elite's, or at the very least the Betclic's 2-4.
Malwaya is quickly blossoming into arguably the Pro B's best player, though we'll see if he can remain consistent enough to hold onto that distinction. Noah Penda seems to me to have every bit the versatility, energy, and defensive capability to draw comparisons to NBA players like Draymond Green and Jeremy Sochan (RealGM has Penda listed at 6'4" but I believe he is listed as 6'7" now elsewhere). I think Kamardine has started to show a steady prototypical PG skillset, complete with ever more proven "3 and D" fundamentals that are so in-demand. He could be a future starter in the NBA.
However, I'd like to see all of them continue to show growth or even maintain the starts they've had.

Really enjoying these, thanks for doing them. Finding a lot of new talent from them.

Josh Bannan is a very promising player, good to see him make it on.

[BigGargamel]

This is a great thread. Thanks. It's hard to find comprehensive lists like this.
