I'm not sure I was lucky. I'm pretty sure I selected this guy as my first pick in the Draft, because I don't mind getting a 19yr old. For my team, my situation, I don't have a problem with 19yr olds.

If you think/feel that you really, really can only survive on 18 year old draftees, then go ahead and try to get them. I'll be happy to take those 19 year olds who may become almost as great, and having a much better chance of actually selecting such a great draftee.

BTW: I don't envy your Italian position. Most Italian Div4 teams would kick my Div 3 ass any day...

The Buzzer is a Lie!

I don't care about salary,I care about starting skills.You can have a 4k salary G with atrocious/pitiful/awful Od that is perfectly useless.
3k salary Gs at their best will not have great starting skills,more often if they have high rebound/shot blocking means that have bad primaries

The 5 ball category is very large,you can draft the phenomenon,as the good player,as sometimes also some very bad player(I drafted a 5 ball 5 potentail rating G with all respectable except for atrocious in OD).
You drafted the phenomenon this time,but if you drafted "only" the good player or worse,you would lose an entire season of training than a 18yo with good but not exceptional skills
The value of a season of training is not low....

If the 7k 19yo draftee will became the rule and not the exception,I will consider to draft the 19yold...
