Thread: If the wings win the lotto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wingss</b></div><div>How is Veleno not looking too good? Don't just go to EP and make claims by looking at his stats. At 30th overall he was a STEAL. He's a first year pro center who lit up the Q in his +1 year. Give him time damn. Plus he was our SECOND first round pick that year. If you're going to make claims like that on teams you don't necessarily follow, you better be damn sure you're right.</div></div>

And you know him?

Veleno is actually the prospect I know the most about in the Detroit organization.

- He's always been a privileged kid;
- Him being granted exceptional status in the Q was an absolute joke;
- He dropped significantly in his draft year (Huge Red flags);
- The Q isn't a very good league;
- Saw him play a couple times, very underwhelming;
- Didn't do anything at the WJC (although he was -1 year than everyone else)
- Based on EP: he Clearly isn't ready to play pro (9points in 25 games with a -20... 11 more than the second worst +/- Zadina at -9).
- All report say that he's struggling - going to be hard to bounce back from.

I think I'll stick with my initial thoughts - he's a bust.
