Is it worth it to take a foreign player in the lottery?
With the fifth pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, names like Jonas Valanciunas, Enes Kanter, Jan Vesely, Bismack Biyombo and (pause for laughter) Bargnani-clone Donatas Motiejunas have all been mentioned as options for the Toronto Raptors. Shut Up and Jam, a new blog in the Wages of Wins Network from James Brocato, asks whether it's worth it to take a foreign player in the lottery? (via the Wages of Wins Journal) Feel free to forward that post to the office of one Bryan Colangelo prior to June 23, 2011.
