This is true. He led his team in scoring in the best league in Europe. If Darko/Bargnani didn't happen he would have been considered a top 3 pick. Compare his track record vs those two guys in Europe.
edit: Oh wow, interesting. Not sure how this shapes them up with big guys now, and wierd given that they just grabbed Jefferson, but I like him on this team since he will probably need a couple years to become a solid starter.
