That's very inaccurate, he thinks that all of those players would play in NBA if they could, that pretty much sums it up. Some good points are made on possesions, agreed on guards jumping before pass being very stupid, atleast in Lithuania coaches are teaching not to do so. Defense was probably below average for Euroleague game, that shouldn't be happening in finals.

Basketball is a sport with a surplus amount of talent around the world there are a lot of Euroleague guys who could be excellent role players in the NBA, if you took all the best players out of Europe and replaced them with the scrubs in the NBA the NBA would be unreal.

to be fair Coach Nick was specifically describing THE BEST two teams of Euroleague (fighting for championship) as being "mid-level NCAA D1"

He never said how bad average to low-level Euroleague teams would be. If he did an analysis of a Euroleague regular season game involving two teams that didn't make the playoffs I bet he'd have compared them to D2, or even D3 NCAA.

The mid level and lower tier teams in Euroleague are probably D2 and D3 level :oldlol:

The truth about how good Euroleague basketball is probably lies somewhere in between what both opposite sides seem. Euroleague teams are probably convincingly better than NCAA teams, but they are also not better than lower-tier NBA teams; there is a reason that league is full of players who weren't good enough to make the NBA. If there was a Euroleague team that was better than the Bobcats, they would BE the Bobcats. Bobcats and Hornets win a series every time against the Euroleague champ. NBA teams would just sign/draft those players and those guys would get to play in the NBA. Most of them are not getting paid better than they would with a career in the NBA, and their have much less security over there with the shorter and less garuenteed contracts.

It's probably like this

NBA teams >>> Euroleague teams > NCAA powerhouse's >> NCAA div 2 / 3

If you talk about top Euroleague teams like Barca then maybe, but we are mostly concerned about the average teams. An average Euroleague Team gets blown out by an average Div 2 NCAA team by 20+pts, the league overall is trash.

As sad as it sounds, this. One of the best basketball analysts out there just stated with confidence that the two top teams in Euroleague playing their absolute hearts out for the Euroleague championship didn't appear to him to be any better at the game of basketball than your average division I NCAA team. That says a lot about that league. If the top two teams playing their hearts out for the title isn't any better than a run of the mill D-1 NCAA team than the rest of that league is either bottom feeder NCAA d-1 level at best or lower. Probably a few of the worse Euroleague teams out there are NCAA d2 and d3 level. If the top Euroleague teams (like Olympiacos) played a D1 NCAA powerhouse team in a series, they'd lose the series. If a bottom feeder Euroleague team played a D1 NCAA powerhouse team in a series, they'd be swept. Any NBA team isn't even a fair comparison for Euroleague, the Bobcats would destroy Euroleague's top All-Star squad (which sadly, is comprised mostly of American roleplayers) let alone any of their watered down teams filled with Euroscrubs.

Ya most analysts do say that Euroleague is clearly superior to D1 NCAA basketball. Also that Rudy Fernandez had talent to be a much better NBA player than he was but he didn't have the drive to improve his game.

Preseason? Different sport, but from 2004-10, the colts were 6-24 in the preseason and 79-33 in the regular season.

The best recent example of euroleague vs nba was the olympics, when the USA on cruise control beat nigeria by 80 points, and then greece (a team almost exclusively of top euroleague players) lost to that same nigeria team.

I don't know, guys. I think D1 players from a top D1 powerhouses probably have more TALENTED players overall. Many of whom might be top draft picks in the NBA, but there are the intangibles. Savvy. Experience. Fundamentals.

Overall, I would say a top Euroleague team beats a top D1 team in a series.

Ehhh, do you realize that best US NBA players and NCAA div 1 players is not the same, do you? I hope you understand what this thread is about, none of us is saying Euroleague is better than NBA. There is only one known poster able of arguing something like that.

The best recent example of NCAA vs Euroleague players could be the 2011 U19 World Championship where a team with the best under 19 NCAA players faced teams with a few Euroleague under 19 players and finished 5th.

Agree

Euroleague level is definitely above Division1.

But talent wise

Our colleges have better talents and prospects

Case in point

Our colleges has produced more elite players

Than Euroleague

There's no elite players in Euroleague

it doesn't really matter that lower teams in the NBA have better players on paper, you seem to ignore the fact that Euroleague teams are built around team play and that they do not require stat padding nor franchise players, the coaching and play making is superior to most teams not coached by Popovich or so. It's a different sport almost and anyone who follows both can tell that any top Euroleague team would constantly beat the likes of the Miwakee Bucks even more so in regular season where there's a much better display of defense in Euroleage than in the NBA.

That claim is ridiculious. I don't know if he's trolling or being serious but if he is serious then he has absolutely no clue about Basketball.
I watch both Euroleague and NCAA and even though there are some players with NBA Star Potential, the College game is hard to watch sometimes. The Level of play is wayyyy below that of Top Euroleague Teams.

Just a few examples I found really quick

This, dunno why is this quasi coach so respected and regarded so competent around here, he knows some stuff above average level but he seems far from an expert, good for people new to basketball or people who play basketball but don't really know basic fundamentals. Because of that, i wouldn't take his opinion like some kind of standard and correct view. Thus i think he's wrong.

I always like to point out Spurs, if you look at that team, half of their players wouldn't be near that good in some other team/organization. Just look at Bonner, Baynes, Ayres, Mills... These players were mostly cut by other teams, best example is the player i really love to point in such conversations is Green, if he didn't end up in Spurs but in some top Euro team you'd be talking about how he couldn't perform in NBA but now is starter in one of the best players in Europe.

To summarise, i don't think European teams equal Spurs, Parker would be best player in Europe by far and he proved that last tournament, same thing with Ginobili and Duncan, but i wanted to say that Europe brings another, different philosophy of playing basketball, more system wise and one that favors coaches over players and team over player aswell.

I hope you understand, USA has the best players in the world, most talented ones and they care most about this sport but it doesn't mean that basketball isn't played in other parts of the world. Just look at that period that caused redeem team, USA won easily in some previous tournaments and they thought that the team mostly built around young college stars can do the same but they were wrong, lost to teams like Porto Rico and played and performed badly overall.

This shit about college teams being as good or better than even the elite Euroleague teams..............

College teams were regularly getting beat by Euroleague teams back in the freaking 1980s. 25 -30 years ago freaking NCAA DI college teams could not beat Euroleague teams.

They were losing all the time at the Club World Cup tournament. We already saw that happen DECADES ago. The level of progression of Euroleague from then to now is enormous, and hell, NCAA was probably better then than it is now, with all this one and done crap.

Danny green was young and not nearly as good then, while Josh Powell was 28 when he left the NBA after not getting picked up.

I really don't see how an intelligent basketball fan could ever state that an NCAA (any) team is better than Euroleague team (any). It doesn't fly.


You guys mockingly or unsuspectingly agreeing with that guy from youtube really expose yourself as lacking expertise in basketball. I'm sorry to count so many of you in this thread.

He's playing in China now and last year he was playing 12 minutes per game in the Euroleague and like 5 mpg in the Playoffs.

That can't be truth, his youtube videos show that he is a proven expert that could coach on the highest level but he just like to stay out of the lights so he gets the best of high school kids.

wow, Josh Powell gets major rotation minutes on one of the top clubs in Europe? He averaged 12.5 mpg for his career in the NBA, only played garbage time minutes here.

No, he does not. He does not even play in Europe genius.

ISH thinks they know more than an expert coach? :oldlol: Why am I not surprised? It's pretty much a consensus that the Euroleague isn't that good. Sure, there are a couple of players who could probably crack the rotation on a bottom feeding team like the Bobcats, but that's where it ends.

Good analysis by Coach Nick, I love watching his vids. :applause: He always provides great insight. What I like about Coach Nick is he doesn't have a favorite, doesn't show favoritism. He calls it like sees it. Euroleague is like a Division 1 league, he's right.

I messaged him 2 times asking him to breakdown the games where Euroleague teams beat NBA teams, the recent ones where all of the game footage is available on YouTube.

There are SEVERAL GAMES where Euroleague teams beat NBA teams in recent years and all the game footage is available on YouTube. And those games are played under NBA rules.

I asked him TWICE to do even ONE breakdown of ANY of the games........

He REFUSED.

I asked him then to please name ANY NCAA team that can beat ANY NBA team and to name it on his comments section, or in one of his videos.

He REFUSED.


How odd...............................:rolleyes:

Josh Powell was a rotation player on 2 NBA championship teams. STFU.

And he was pretty much the worst player Olympiacos had. Pretty much the same role he had on 2 Lakers championship teams. The guy is a moron troll with a Lakers avatar and does not even seem to know he was on those Lakers champion teams.

Just another brain dead troll.

Powell was waiting all summer to get another Euroleague contract, and no team wanted him. He was in Knicks training camp and then ended up in China.

That equals being a star in a major European club, according to the typical NBA only fan clown.

Most Euroleague players will be a glorified mop boy in the NBA.
