From a total of 38 Europeans early entry candidates to the upcoming NBA draft, only nine didn’t withdraw their name according to the official announcement made by the NBA. Those are: Dimitris Agravanis (Greece), Guillermo Hernangomez (Spain), Mario Hezonja (Croatia), Mouhammadou Jaiteh (France), Nikola Milutinov (Serbia), Cedi Osman (Turkey), Kristaps Porzingis (Latvia), Nikola Radicevic (Serbia) and Adin Vrabac.
As it was expected most players decided that they would have better luck in the future and that also includes Sasha Vezenkov, as it was expected almost from the moment he entered the draft. Of course, Porzingis and Hezonja are the stars of the show, they are expected to be among the Top10 and probably will play in the NBA next season.
