NBA:
In a world where Theis stays in Monaco, what does that signal about NBA teams' valuation of mid-career bigs with European pivots?
Qwiket AI:
Theis’ choice highlights that European routes can offer meaningful playing time, development, and leverage for a return to the NBA on favorable terms. NBA teams may value versatile bigs less for restricted roles, preferring depth on the wings or in defense-focused roles. For fantasy players, it underscores lower probability of late-career NBA contributions from mid-career bigs unless path openings occur.
