Washington Wizards fans have become uneasy at the thought of having international players on the team. We’ve lived through Oleksiy Pecherov, Darius Songalia, and the worst of all, Jan Vesely.
While neither Pecherov nor Songalia had high expectations coming into the league, Vesely was the sixth overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. He’s no longer in the league and will probably never step on an NBA court again.
Ernie Grunfeld was convinced that the 6’11” Czech star would become a perfect running mate next to John Wall, but he failed to leave any sort of positive impact on the team.
