AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

[dirkfansince1998]

You know, DF1998, international always seems to be a gray area and a fun topic for debate (including here on these forums). Many fun questions to debate including but not limited to:

Is Josh even the best Active Mav Aussie? Or is it Kyrie (born in Melbourne Australia) ? 

Was JJ Barea an International Player? Puerto Rico is part of the USA, but they have their own FIBA squad.

When Dirk becomes an American Citizen (earlier this year he said hopefully by 2024, he will be "American Citizen Dirk"), does he have to give back his designation of "International Player"?

I don't think there are any wrong answers to the questions above, though I'm sure voting percentages wouldn't be 50/50.

That's why I am more interested in the development and coaching part. Don't really care about official lists or rankings. In that sense even someone from the US can be an "international". Would be really interesting to see (more) high ranked US prospects in international leagues instead of college or g-league.
