Am I surprised he wasn't? Sadly no...the HW draft really favours height and 13+ potential. Most of us who've played for a while will have an example. In my case the best of this type that wasn't drafted is Ryan Roth - http://onlinecollegebasketball.org/player/127234 But then it didn't like Pruitt either who's 6'7½" - http://onlinecollegebasketball.org/player/150852 Even the bigs it favours height/potential too much - look at where Canales (the best big in Legends since ??) was drafted. (One day I'll run the human run HW draft that I've thought of, I just need to properly work out how it'll work and a scoring system...)

Pedro Olivares got drafted off my team with a similar SI as a 12-pot, but he was 6'9.5" which is probably the difference here. For what it's worth, I would take your guy over a number of the drafted players. Updated Saturday, January 13 2024 @ 2:02:45 pm PST
