SEA Basketball players will we see them in the NBA one day?

I was wondering SEA and other Asian countries not including china all have Basketball national team.I bet there are some really good players out there in our region waiting to be scout by the teams.

The reason why players from Singapore national team are not scout?Height?Weight?Skill?

The man who was death SG

from what i heard, a taiwanese player came very close to playing in the nba but a injury prevented him from doing so….

well, even the chinese had many players there but did not sparkle till Yao Ming..
remember, there was a CHINA guy who played in SNG, Ma-Chun, who went to US.but he only played college..

the key is that there are so many millions of players. and given our physique, we don't stand good chances.

so what if you can dunk, I bet there are many who can do that..
so what if you can shoot 3s, there are many who can do that too..

the key is whether you have went through a league where it is justifiable that you got the NBA talent..

perhaps we can send players to europe and if good, draft into the NBA.

and one other point about physique..

how tall is steve nash, isiah thomas, or their point? 6-2, 6-3?

now tell me, what positions does a 6-2,3, plays in SNG, centre or guard, denying them the chance to develop ball skills..

and when we get over 6-6, we become "wood-like" so rigid..

look at jordan, he was so nimble, fast..

have to start training them from young.

heck over there, the standard in the streetside bball is so good already.

iceFatboy SG

well, I do hear that there are many talented players in US who are not in NBA.
Cause NBA needs to be drafted from colleges, these talented players are not.

Sometimes, I do catch TV programmes that shows coaches going out into streets and then trying to recruit these players into CBA and later NBA..

I rem reading that even Yao Ming was "manufactured". With his parents of a certain height, he was expected to be good for bball.

Expected to be good...I doubt he is good...Timmy is better.. Very Happy

Tim Duncan started balling only in high school. And of recent years, Smush Parker and Rafer Alston are the only streetballers to have any impact on the NBA if at all. Street balling is still differnt from teamplay.

Street ball requires , individual skill whereby team basketball requires team work....After playing most of their life streetball style it would be irrevocable to learn another concept of team work.
They gap is too vast for streetballers to adapt.
