Jon Scheyer (All American) vs Jon Diebler (much maligned)

  This is probably a topic for another day, but neither of these guys will make as much money overseas, if that's the route they take, as they probably should.
  
  The thing with European basketball is that most teams only allow a couple Americans. When they have their Americans, fans want to know who they are, as they are usually the highest paid and best players. With that said, they want them to be african americans so that they know who they are, and that's the perception (reality) of basketball in the US, that it's a game dominated by blacks.
  
  So, when a white player goes overseas there just isn't as much of a demand because he looks like everyone else.
