I think you are leaving out two important draws now for Euro players to come play in collegeHe'll be 21 at the beginning of next season and has been a semi-regular starter against grown men for two years (he was the more experienced and developed Ivicic Twin when Zvonimir left for UK).
Definitely some question marks of translation, but there isn't really precedent for that kind of player coming to college basketball, why would they? He probably hasn't been inside of a classroom in two years, not sure how that all works.
1) NIL$$- yes I know they aren’t technically allowed to collect NIL if they are on a student visa - but it sounds like they have been able to get around this- I dont know what TI is making but the average salary in Spain is a few hundred K, he’s not a star there by any means so I assume we can give him a considerable raise, this just hasn’t been true in the past, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more influx from Europe- if colleges are giving freshman $1.5M now, euro players will take notice
2) showcase his skills - he’s not a star in Spain but he would be able to be much more dominant in the college game and likely help his draft stock
