Why do people keep thinking that Nader and Yabusele will ever be NBA players? Nader will be 24 before next season starts and hasn't played a single NBA minute yet.
this is a non-sequitur. the first does not logically or automatically lead to the second.
nader, you have a point since he has shown so little and was only a second round pick. being younger would not have helped him since he has limited talent. so the age is superfluous in this case. but any hype here at cb around nader is usually tempered. there are a few fanboys, but not many. so please, refine the pool of people you include in "people."
yabusele will be 21 at the start of next season. not ancient. i dont know how he will pan out. but not having played in the nba is a condition each and every nba player faced at sometime in their lives. so lets wait and see. he can shoot 3 pointers.
as for internatonal players who entered the nba later in their lives:
Arvydas Sabonis comes to mind as someone who fit the first, but not the second point you make. hard to argue he wasnt nba quality.
Pero Antic, not a star, but entered the nba at the ancient age of 31 and played 2 years.
Pablo Prigioni, a bench player for 3 years, but came in at the age of 35, so 3 years is impressive. though, he was born when dinosaurs still roamed the earth.
