Deep Dives: International Prospect Roundup

Nick brings Ray LeBov of Basketball Intelligence on the podcast to discuss some of the top 2025 NBA Draft prospects who played internationally this past season. They dive deep into the games of the five international prospects who are projected to be selected in the first round of the draft tonight: Noa Essengue, Joan Beringer, Ben Saraf, Nolan Traore, and Hugo Gonzalez. They also discuss five other international prospects who have a decent chance of hearing their names called on one of the two nights of the draft: Noah Penda, Bogoljub Markovic, Hansen Yang, Alex Toohey, and Lachlan Olbrich. Finally, they wrap up by discussing the recent trend of top international players leaving the professional ranks overseas to play for NCAA teams in the NIL and transfer portal era.
