How often do overseas basketball players make it into the NBA? Are there any current players in the NBA who didn't get drafted out of college into the NBA, but played basketball overseas and later drafted???|||Foreign players are drafted every year and many sign with their teams.
After college Bruce Bowen went undrafted by the NBA and went to Europe to play in a French League. While he is known for his defense in the NBA he was one of the higher scorer in that league averaging almost 30 points a game.
Bowen is one example of many. You can check the different FIBA rosters and see lots of US born guys on those teams.|||a few i think. there are tons of scouts overseas that are constantly watching those guys play. including laker's scout vlade divac whose stationed in spain.
