I know nothing about college players - even less so this year.  So am reliant on you all for who to root for at 14, 26 and 30.

Do you all think that as a result of such less opportunity to see these guys play/emerge that there’s likely to simply be more luck involved than typical once you get past the few blue chip players?  I realize that under typical circumstances it’s a crap shoot where C’s are picking, but maybe more so this year?

And does that bode potentially well for a team that has 3 rolls of the dice (and a 4th mid-2nd)?  Or do you think all things considered that it works to C’s detriment to have less data on the players?

Also - given the lack of showcase opportunities for freshman, are fewer prospects declaring?

What are people's thoughts on Leandro Bolmaro? 6'7" Argentinian guard who plays for Barcelona. Obviously he's going to be compared to Manu, unfairly, but I like his game as a guy to take a punt on.

He reminds me of Tomas Satoransky, but I think he's a bit more aggressive trying to score the ball. I don't even necessarily think he's a good fit for us, as I'd rather we pick up a true PG like Kira Lewis to pair alongside Langford and Smart on the bench, but he's a guy to watch I reckon. Might be a draft and stash prospect similarly to Satoransky, who has turned into a good NBA guard

Read some good stuff about him. That he has great effort and good feel. Definitely a draft/stash candidate.

Yeah, the stash potential is what intrigues me the most. This is a great video on him:

Ironically it also compares him to Satoranksy. He seems really crafty finishing inside
