With Michael Beasley, Andray Blatche and a steady flow of NBA misfits tearing it up in China, which basketball nomad/scrub/bust do you think could be the next Chinese sensation?

So I've spent the last few hours looking through the stats from the current Chinese Basketball Association season - I know, my Saturday nights are out of control! - and the weird collection of NBA outcasts dominating the league has me absolutely captivated.

There are the obvious ones:

Michael Beasley: 29.2 points and 10.5 rebounds

Andray Blatche: 28.9 points and 14.3 rebounds

Jordan Crawford: 29.4 points

But the obscure basketball nomads are even more fascinating: All stats are per game unless otherwise noted

Errick McCollum: (CJ McCollum's brother) 38.7 points (league high), 7.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists

Quincy Douby: 30.9 points and owns the league scoring record with 75 in a single game

Lester Hudson: 30.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists - he is also the reigning International MVP

Basically, everyone from Al Harrington to Arnett Moultrie is putting up stats that could single handedly win you your fantasy league.

It got me thinking, which unspectacular player currently in the league could head to China and put out prime LeBron/Jordan/Wilt numbers?

Would Jimmer Fredette recapture his scintillating college scoring ways? Could Jerryd Bayless turn his Summer League MVP into the stuff of Chinese folklore? Would Robert Sacre be a 20-20 machine? Is Glen Rice Jr. the GOAT and we just don't know it yet?
