What the hell do they see in his guy!? I get the draft and stash strategy, but at least find someone that is actually good.

I assume you are watching him play?

If I remember correctly... any positives about Bolmaro were about his "potential" and not actual production in legit games.

I have a hard time judging a lot of these foreign leagues because you can be a monster on the court but until you're old enough you don't have enough clout to get major minutes.

Right, you actually have to earn minutes in the Euroleague. And it appears like the minutes this guy has earned have not been productive.

At some point, potential is what potential does.

Case in point: Luka and Rubio.

Here is a video of him chatting with Schmitz.

I think it is extremely rare that 20 year old guards play legit minutes in Euroleague and perform well. Rubio and Doncic were exceptions and were high lottery picks because of that. So I wouldn't yet give up on Bolmaro.

Here are some examples of NBA players stats in Euroleague at same age or in their first Euroleague year.

Bjelica: 9 mins, 1.2 pts and 1.7 rbs with 25 fg% and he was already 22.

Bogdan Bogdanovic: 17.5 mins, 5 pts, 1.8 rbs, 1 asts with 30.3 fg%

Joe Ingles: 15.7 mins, 5 pts, 1.1 rbs, 1.2 asts, 46.2 fg% 23.3 3pt% and he was 23.

Most impressive part of Bolmaro's game is his passing. His per 36 minutes assists numbers are pretty close to Rubio's last Euroleague season numbers.

I always love when you come on and provide the actual euro perspective.
