Facing Spain's 26+11, such a player can't get a contract in the NBA?
In the first round of the previous men's basketball European Championship, the traditional team Spain defeated the mediocre Bulgarian team 114-87 without bloodshed, and achieved a good start. Although Bulgaria lost the match, the performance of Bulgaria's striker Aleksandar Vezenkov was absolutely impressive. He played 34 minutes and 59 seconds, shooting 8-of-11 from the field, 3-of-5 from outside the three-point line, and 7-of-8 from the free throw line, and had a game-high score of 26 points plus 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. In the case of the disparity in strength between the two sides, Vychenkov can be regarded as doing his best, and one person carried the team's offensive banner. If it weren't for his efficient and stable output on the offensive end, how many points the Bulgarian team would lose could be a question mark.
Vychenkov was selected by the Brooklyn Nets with the 57th pick in the second round of the 2017 Draft. In January 2021, his NBA signing rights were traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a deal involving Jarrett Allen. Before this year's NBA draft, the Sacramento Kings made a small deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers gave away Vychenkov's NBA signing rights and exchanged the Second Round No. 49 pick from the Kings. The Cavaliers completed the deal to get Inside Rookie Evan Mobley's older brother, Isaiah Mobley.
Last season, Vichenkov was quite prominent in Europe, helping Greek giants Olympiacos win the Greek league and reach the final four in the UEFA Basketball League. And he himself was shortlisted for the best team in the UEFA Basketball League with his outstanding performance.
There had been previous news that the Kings wanted to sign him and bring him to the NBA in the new season, but the two sides ultimately did not negotiate. I don't know if the performance of this European Championship will help him win the attention of more NBA teams, so that he can land in the NBA in the future.
