Hoosierhoopster Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Yes those are good points, but before the injury he was projected as high as no. 5 overall. I think it’s primarily the injury, but your points are valid and that may be part of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I ever heard Romeo and top 5 in the same sentence was in reference to his recruiting ranking. Perhaps Dakich confused the two? Romeo was never going top 5 in this draft, or any draft. It was pretty obvious when we played Duke back in November that he wasn't even on the same planet as their freshmen. Well the other day I was watching the IU/Duke game from this year and they had the top 5 draft prospect list and Romeo was #5 at that time.

Of course I was in the minority when Pacers traded for Vic/Sabonis and actually said that day Pritchard got the best of the deal. Time will tell but 2nd round picks aren't likely to make rosters anyway. Most end up in GLeague and have to fight their way up. I was right there with you, man...I liked hat trade to get Vic right out of the box. The two reasons I saw immediately were where he was on career trajectory (earlier than PG) and what kind of person he was (a great teammate for good locker room chemistry). I viewed Sabonis as a bonus...but had no idea how big a bonus he would become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He avged 14 and 9 last year and only played 24mins, stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foot injury, but then also a lot of questions about how motivated he is and how much he really loves basketball. Apparently he dogged it at some of the camps in high school and never showed much motivation. It was also reported that he's one of these kids that bounced around from prep school to prep school and then when he only played 9 games in college, he had nobody to vouch for him to teams when those questions came up. Watched the ESPN/Draft Express Scouting report of him before the draft. During his strength's portion of the video, he looked like a top 5 pick. During the weakness's portion, he looked like he should go undrafted (motivation/effort strongly questioned). Pretty amazing contrast and worth a watch.
