I'm not saying its the same. The question was simply asked how often do people go overseas then make it to the NBA....

Well I do know that Justin Hamilton did it and is currently on the roster at Minnesota so it is possible.
Hamilton
Brian Roberts
Hassan Whiteside
Brandon Jennings (in lieu of college)
Chris Douglas Roberts
It doesn't happen often and most of them become minimum salary guys for a year or two.

True but being in the Twolves roster right now means nothing. That roster couldnt beat the 1 seed in the D league. Hamilton wont be on that roster next year. thats my guess anyway. The Twolves are barely an NBA team right now

He was on the heat roster the first half of the year...

I think the majority of you are missing the boat. Without a great deal of "individual hard work" Mickey wasn't going to be a three. If LSU let him play there or not really had nothing to do with it.
He just didn't have 3 pro skills. He needed a much better jump shot with more range. His ball handling skills and dribbling needed to improve a whole lot. His passing was the worst part of his game.
Add in so so free throw shooting and some poor decisions like trying to drive through people to get to the goal and he was never going to make the first round.
And like South pointed out if you don't make first round then it doesn't matter. In the end you have to make a team and to do that you have to beat out veterans, draftees and the non-drafted being given tryouts.
I hope I don't give the wrong impression here. Mickey was a great college player for us. Bless him for coming and I appreciate all he did for the team while he was here. But there are really very few slots for a pro player in the NBA and you have to be one of the truly select to have a career there. Good luck to him.

even chris johnson got a couple nba gigs after going overseas. there were teams trying to get bo mccalebb to come to the nba a couple years ago. some guys like nick calathes go over there and are icons.
he'll make more money overseas but i would bet he tries to go the summer league-camp invite-d league route first.
