The 'Active non-US born NBA points leaders' quiz

After reaching a buyout agreement with the Portland Trail Blazers, Deandre Ayton is a Los Angeles Laker. The Lakers badly needed help at center and so added the former first overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft following a disappointing tenure with Portland. The 7’0”, 250-pound veteran has produced solid stat lines throughout his career, averaging 16.4 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in seven seasons and making the 2018-19 NBA All-Rookie team. But he played just 95 games for the Blazers in his two seasons there, and there are some questions about how his playstyle will fit in with the rest of the Lakers core. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. While Ayton likely isn’t the piece to get the Lakers back to the NBA Finals, the Bahamas native will at least provide valuable scoring around the rim and can be counted on to haul in 10 rebounds per contest. With that being said, can you name the NBA’s active leading scorers that weren’t born in the United States?

Good luck!
