White In The NBA

Back in the day - Michael Jordan had a shoe design that the commissioner of the NBA wanted to ban because they didn't contain enough white.
But today... the same could be said of the NBA as a whole.
DPizz points out that American audiences might be alienated by the Korean dominance in the LPGA because of cultural, language and racial differences.

So when the first white dude taken in the NBA draft is from Spain,

And even an Israeli is taken ahead of many American born whites - Is the NBA again concerned with there being enough white in the game?
Sixteen of the top one hundred players picked in this year's draft happen to be white but from a foreign country. Is the NBA trying to keep it's season ticket holders and it's marketing partners happy? Or are they just searching the world for the best players?
Really... who are the best white players in the NBA?
How many of those are from America?
Can Tyler Hansbrough hold it down on his own?
