The 2012 NBA draft is nearing a conclusion with the last few picks coming off the board. While not all of these players will make NBA rosters or even come over from Europe, hearing their name called is still a thrill of a lifetime.

The Brooklyn Nets also went international with the No. 57 pick, selecting Ilkan Karaman from Turkey. Karaman is a 22-year-old 6'10" power forward.
