The next player in the list of players who are surely to excel in near future in the NBA and is not American is Tiago Splitter. As expected, he had a tough rookie season as experts say that it is not easy for an international player to come in the league and have an immediate impact. And it’s not only his case sometimes even the big names have problems adapting to the conditions, as they are used to different style of playing and the NBA offers them something very different and difficult tasks. But this player has one thing to his advantage that no other international rookie or big men have got that is Tim Duncan and Antonio McDyess on his side to guide and help him out where he needs assistance.
Though this player is not a rookie when it comes to on court experience but the experts say that this player has been a part of the European style of playing where size and physical strength are not as dominating as in the NBA. However, what makes him different from the others is the fact that this player has developed in him the skills that are required to tackle the situations in which he lacks power or strength. This according to experts is an exciting part of this player and one that the fans and people all around the world watching the NBA would enjoy.
Sports experts say that playing alongside some of the veterans would benefit him a great deal and help him improve many areas of his game. This will surely play an important role in this player becoming an instant success in the NBA and that too in just his very first in the league according to the legends of the game. This player will be getting the playing minutes, shooting opportunities and coaching from some of the best in the league, all he needs to do is embrace this opportunity. Let’s hope he does that.
Ersan Ilyasova is another player in the list whose inclusion in the list may come as a surprise to you but according to the résumé he has, he is another of the foreign players who is extremely talented and skilful. This player is expected to up his production compared to last season that saw him playing for 23 minutes per game and coming up with 10.4 points per game and 6.4 rebounds per game.
The only concerning thing for the experts regarding this player is consistency, as this player played outstanding in some games but couldn’t manage it on a regular basis. One has seen him come up with tons of score and even more rebounds but the problem came when he followed it with a poor effort in the very next game. To this, the experts say that this player lacks the experience in the league that will surely come as he improves and gradually he will increase on the productivity and consistency.
However, the Milwaukee Bucks have added several new players to the roster but the experts feel that his place in the team is cemented due to the fact that this player can stretch the opposition’s defence to the three point line as well as knock them off regularly while making a drive. This player is expected to make slow progress but reports suggest that he is one player who will shock the NBA world in near future with some outstanding records.
