1st Round Pick for Miles Plumlee.

[Panthers128]

I'm sure anyone world choose NBA over Spain.

It mostly comes down to money and culture. If people don't speak Spanish then their desire to play in Spain is limited.

Kirilenko also passed up the NBA last season in favor of playing in his home country. Josh Childress went to Greece to receive higher pay than he would have in the NBA.

On July 23, 2008, Josh Childress accepted and signed an unprecedented 3 year $20 million net income contract with the Euroleague club Olympiacos Piraeus.^[1][2] The contract was equal to and worth the same as a 3 year $32.5 million NBA contract,^[3] not including that Childress would also have his local taxes and agent fees paid for by Olympiacos as well. In addition, the contract also provided Childress with a house and a car.

Childress would be making then in total, a salary in Olympiacos that was equal to about $15 million per season in the NBA. The contract also included opt-out options after each of the first two seasons. Childress also received a Greek Nike shoe contract after signing with Olympiacos Piraeus, a Nike sponsorship club.

He had been offered a 5 year $33 million gross income deal by the Atlanta Hawks,^[4] but he turned it down because it was significantly less money than Olympiacos offered him. Childress averaged 8.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.1 steals per game during the Euroleague 2008-09 season.^[5]

Show me the money.

you just described mason plumlee who is much better than miles

Mason is considered a better prospect then that. He's going to be a lottery pick in the next draft and be a good quality starting 4 or 5 in the NBA.
