With Pick 2.16, the Portland Trailblazers select Marc Gasol.
Amazing value. A top 20 player with a mid 2nd.
How healthy is he tho? He is missing the Olympics as we speak.
He is meant to be healthy before the start of the season I thought.
If he is healthy its a steal, but he is still not recovered from his foot injury and foot injuries with big guys are scary. But as I said, if hes healthy its a great pick and maxx picked up an extra pick in a trade earlier so he can afford to take the risk IMO.
Which essentially means it's subjective. We won't likely know until after this league is over. Personally with guys like that I don't give them the full benefit of the doubt but I am not entirely cut throat on them. Marc is not an all star caliber player to me presently. He's more like an elite role player. That's how I choose to look at guys in his situation.
So do we only judge this team based on predictions for next season? We dont look back at them after next season at all and vote on them again? I think that would be a fun exercise too.
Nope. This is a one year thing.
