I watched the Ben Simmons doc on Showtime and he seemed like the perfect candidate. He clearly did not give a single frick about playing college basketball or going to school, and I don't necessarily blame him. He was also used to being away from his family and not from the US

Brandon Jennings and Emmanuel Mudiay are the only two to my knowledge that have done it. Especially with how many players move across the country to attend prep school and such at a young age, I don't think the moving overseas part would be a huge deal. I am kind of surprised more haven't done it and am curious why that is

I think Brandon Jennings spoke out on the experience saying it sucked or could suck if you end up signing in the wrong place

money not good enough to risk getting exposed. Euro leagues are no joke these days.

Playing in Europe is not exactly glamorous.

It's all about self marketing and building a "brand"...not going to get the exposure overseas....Simmons benefited a ton by going to LSU, he was always talked about in all types of media

Terrance Ferguson is the newest name, but he's been getting money all throughout high school.

There's a ton of reasons why they aren't and they've mostly been listed in here
