Thoughts on Draft

[Da_Berr 219]

It has been a day and a half since the S72 VHL trade, and there were some definite ups and downs. Firstly, SS Hornet was off the draft board first, going to Davos like expected. The next player off the board was Robin Winter to Davos as well, another expected pick. The hype train for the draft was unfortunately derailed as the league waited for Calgary to pick next. Calgary's front office must have slept through their alarms, as it took them an absurd amount of time to finally decide to pick Latrell Mitchell. The rest of the first round went by without a major issue, there were some risers and fallers, but nothing absurd. That is what I would say if SU didn't fall out of the first round. On most draft boards the young Canadian center was projected to be picked around 8 overall but instead went into the second round. As Stephen A. Smith would have said, "you should stay off the weed," to all the GMs who passed on Su in the first. Most people say the drop in draft stock was from a "meme" posted by the young center stating that he would quote, "retire after being selected top 10." Despite this blasphemy of Su falling into the second round the rest of the draft proceeded smoothly and only the future can tell if the concerns about Su entering draft night were correct.
