(Editor's note: Fran Fraschilla is in Treviso, Italy, this week, attending the Reebok Eurocamp.)
Forget draft "buzz." Forget first-round promises and contract buyout clauses and raw tools. The biggest question a team should ask when evaluating international prospects is "Can they play?" After breaking down tape and seeing a number of these players in person, here's my international Top 20.
1. Fran Vazquez, 7-foot, PF/C, 22, Spain
A very good offensive player who can score inside or hit a jumper, he's more of a power forward than center, especially defensively. His strength and athleticism are average, at best. He seemed to tire down the stretch of his league season but has looked very good in the playoffs. He'll be a good late lottery pick who can contribute offensively.
