You keep bringing up this one game that they lost by 22 points to.
Cool ,he played well in that one game (in which Zalgirs benched their starters after 15 mins) lost, while also playing no defense too.
Is that really enough to draft him first fukking round?
First off, nobody fukking cares if they won or lost. Don't sit here and act like NBA scouts give two fukks about that. And show me some AAU clips of these top prospects playing astute and 100% effort defense?
Also, I never said he was a first round pick. At the end of the day, at 16 years old he played a top team in a top league and held his own. You're not going to sit here and act like Euroleague players aren't better than AAU and HS teenagers. He's also only 17 now and is slated for 2 more euro seasons. You got nikkas in here calling him trash and that the IT guy at the YMCA is better, FOH. Idk if he's a 1st round pick but its perfectly conceivable to say he has a much better shot than Gelo did, and if he doesn't make the NBA he'll definitely be in the Euroleague.
edit: Also, after he played well in that one game, he was getting loan offers from that very same team.. So at 16 years old he was considered a Euroleague level talent and was wanted on loan by a top 10 Euroleague team. But hey, guess Brad from IT department could do the same right?
