Lazio got a 203cm, 4k HOF PG. Be interesting to see what skills he has.

Atrocious JS and Passing are offputting but he has perfect big man skills.

This is my first round pick, sad that the draft was so lacking in decent 18yo picks.

I can train them up a bit next season seeing as I have no real quality back-ups in guard...or forward actually. :(

Awesome considering you didn't invest and you finished 2nd in the conference. Atrocious JS isn't ideal but at 18yo you can easily get him up to average and still boost his C skills sufficiently.

Oh yeah, I didn't invest and received rubbish as per my last 5 drafts (at least)... No room for a rookie trainee anyway.

Lazio has the #1 draft pick on the market. The potential is good but bad height for guard training.

Oh, so he wasn't even that great.

I wasn't happy that I missed him but now I don't mind so much. What a terrible draft.

can be mold into quite a good SF

Yeah it was shithouse.

Waste of money no matter where you finish. If you saved the 300K you could buy all of those monkeys with it.
