Difference is JV & Ross were both projected lottery picks still... The "Greek Freek" was on the draft boards & described as a sleeper pick... Bruno was nowhere to be found anywhere... This is in effect 1999 M.Ginobli (#57) & choosing him #20 in a deep draft, & hoping he can be as good as M.Ginobli... As I said in another post I trust Masai because his rise has been in the scouting ranks but this an extremely ballsy move...
Yeah I'm guessing he'll get his a$$ kicked in the summer league and the expectations will come back down. Like Fran Fraschilla said, he's 2 years away from being 2 years away.
