Kasparas Jakucionis looked really good in the few reels I saw of him. Guy has a motor. Two way player, strong, eye for the basket.
I'd usually be with you and most likely this won't be the case but if the BPA is a traditional/old school big who needs development... I just wouldn't like that pick at all, two drafts in a row. Other than that very specific player type... I'd like BPA. At the same time BPA after the top three or four seems to be really hard to figure this year. It's also hard to figure what you mean by BPA. I'm assuming highest upside because that's where my head is at but BPA quite often means highest floor not ceiling. I agree with the most likely sentiment but I think it's more complicated than just saying BPA... especially if you have a bunch of guys available that you assess as being really close in overall value... then I think fit should be factored in. I think Olshey went for who he thought was the BPA in the first draft that was really his when he picked CJ. First of all hindsight showed that CJ wasn't the BPA. Second of all Olshey was definitely thinking BPA as in highest floor. Third... fucking a that screwed our team up for a long and important time. BPA sure but if there are other guys close, don't do redundant especially when the redundancies are overlapping positionally and in regards to weaknesses.
I was hoping for more evidence of passing in the videos I watched, but maybe RM just wanted him to be a 3 and D guy. More Fernandez than Rodriguez...
