My choice came down to Zollner and Williams, and after seeing both of their potentials, Zollner was the choice. As it stands his ratings are not that great, and he is 23, but he is massive and has high potential (rated and true), so I felt like this was a risk worth taking. He has the added benefit of learning on the job as I am 90% sure he will be a starter for my this year.

I was expecting the Hawks to take Schayes and they did but I thought the Raptors going to take Johnson the best player on board but they took Zollner instead which is fine with me since Johnson can start right away or make an instant impact. My draft list was Johnson, Schayes and Zollner.

I was expecting the Hawks to take Schayes and they did but I thought the Raptors going to take Johnson the best player on board but they took Zollner instead which is fine with me since Johnson can start right away or make an instant impact. My draft list was Johnson, Schayes and Zollner. I loved Johnson, too, and Zollner I hoped might sneak down to me at 18. Ah well. I also really liked the Byron Thomas pick. In the end, I'm satisfied with Al Wood. Really nice size at the two, only 20 with B scouted potential, and no real weaknesses - just no real strengths. For a backup to the backup, he's as good a gamble as there was left - and has some qualities that fit my team needs very well. |
