It is one of the worst leagues in Europe. And that's why it's a great place for MN to start. Build your game and the stats and keep progressing to better and more $$$ leagues.
We'll have to watch, but if it's one of the worst leagues in Europe then how much of a challenge and growth opportunity will it really be for him?
It's playing with grown man. It's a challenge for far better players.
You should start at a level you can put up decent numbers, otherwise, chances are you are out of that world in a couple of years. You are not a development project anymore. No one is bringing in foreign talent with the intent of developing it as a 3-5 year project. You either can contribute or you are useless.
The euro leagues are not dominated by former NCAA stars. There's some of those, sure, but the largest percentage of successful careers are from players that were not college standouts. Who started in humbler places, and worked themselves up to solid 28-30 year old pros.
