We really like the idea of “the greatest international frontcourt tandem in the history of the game” between our living legend Dirk Nowitzki and the recent 52nd pick Satnam Singh, an Indian born with a body of Shaquille O’neal.
Of course, the NBA is still too much of a dangerous jungle even for a 7’2″ center with zero experience playing in an international stage, let alone the highest basketball podium in the world.
While it may sound naïve passing up on legit second round talent like Robert Upshaw or Cliff Alexander, Mark Cuban made the best story out of this draft, setting the international bar and open a thousand eyes up in Far East about the chances to play basketball in the NBA.
